I'm starting to feel old. I don't understand any of that crap, and I've reached the age of I DON'T CARE.
Last week my 67 yr old mother asked me what "hashtag" means. I didn't have an answer. I've heard of it, but don't know what it means, and DON'T CARE.

Watch the movie Idiocracy.

Love that movie...and yes, we are living it right now.

Had my cousin over with her friend for the weekend. Both are 17. Neither of them spoke much to each other. Both texting on their phones the whole time. It was sad.

One is my cousin and the other is too young. Plus my aunt and uncle also over.

So how did the word Twerk come out of that dance routine? Is it something like a tw_t Jerk or?

It is truly sad. Born in '64 and I have witnessed this over my life. Video games - I don't get it. With all the killing and just plain blood sport, not the type you want next to you on a hunt. Gays, don't care, and don't want to hear it. Don't care if you thought you were "born this way" or whatever. It's a choice and you made it, that's great for you, now take your 2% and shut the **** up already.
Hashtag, pisses me off. That is a pound sign last time I checked and I am tired of dumbasses getting confused when you use it correctly. I look to the left and spellcheck does not know what the **** it means either. lol
