Re: How often do you get pissed off with the modern world?
@Perun: you're acting exactly like the "youngsters" you look down upon. so they say they don't like mozart, i doubt you ever hesitate to tell them what you think of their taste in music, and while i don't like rap and think it's sh!t, music is a matter of personal taste and just because what you listen to is older, it doesn't make it good by definition. there's not wrong or right in this situation, so you really should stop being so condescending to "youngsters". as you yourself recognize, they're the future, and unless you are planning to die soon, you'll have to live with them for the rest of your long life.
@Bayerisches Mädchen: you should read "le petit prince". for all your "they'll suffer the consequences", you don't come across as satisfied with who you are - just plain bitter. i know plenty of people who read, are cultured, yet have time to get laid and go to all the cool parties, there's more to life than waiting for tomorrow. hate to say it, but live a little...
sorry for the outburst of "life wisdom" but while there's plenty wrong with my generation, we "the youngsters" are not all bad and surely don't deserve all the bad karma the "old and wise" are giving off here.
today's society is far from perfect, esp. in the social aspect of things, but there's no going back and frankly, i wouldn't want to give up all the tangible scientific advances for some fantasy of a utopia that never existed in the first place. but even if you think it did, it was surely doomed from the start, or we wouldn't be where we're now - perfection doesn't evolve into sh!t.
