Today, a kid was ranting that "people these days are so rude" and that "things were much better in the '50s." Annoyed, I asked the delusional twat what was so great about the racial segregation, rampant sexism, homophobia, and all the rest back then. He responded by punching me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after my 10 year-old son asked what equal rights were and I'd explained it means you treat everyone the same, this morning he punched a girl who's been bullying him so hard, he broke her tooth, because, "Equal rights: if she was a boy I'd have hit her before, but equal rights says it doesn't matter if she's a girl, so I hit her." FML
Today, a punk-looking college kid was making fun of my mentally handicapped son. Out of anger, I punched him in the face. I got handcuffed and thrown into a police car. The kid stood there laughing and pointing at me. FML
Today, at the supermarket, a guy started yelling at me for staring at his "woman." She frankly looked like someone had carved Mick Jagger's face into a turd. When I told him I have better things to do than ogle random women, he started harassing me for being "a queer." FML
Today, one of the human turds that I stupidly added on Facebook posted how terrible her life is after her dad refused to arrange yet another holiday for her this year, so I bitched her out for being such a spoiled little brat. A few hours later, her boyfriend came over and beat the shit out of me. FML
Today, while volunteering at a local museum, I politely told an elderly gentleman to have a nice day. He responded by yelling "NO" and storming off. Everyone looked at me like I was some sort of monster. FML
Today, as I was working in retail, this guy shoved me into the shelves for asking if he needed help with anything, screaming at me that I need to leave him alone. FML
Today, while finishing shopping with my kids, my female best friend and I were accosted by a street preacher. He screamed that we were an abomination, having biracial children was a sin against nature, and that we were ruining America. Not only we are not gay, he made my kids cry. FML
Today, I had to explain racism to my son after some of his school friends were talking about it. Another parent then stormed up to us, pissed off because even though I was explaining how bad racism is, just talking about it is itself racist, and he was offended by me. He made my son cry. FML
Today, I politely asked my neighbor if she could tell her kids to be a little more quiet, and I guess I wasn't the first one to approach her. She slammed the door in my face, but not before screaming, "I bet none of you would be doing this if we were white." FML
Today, while I was standing in line at the store, some guy insulted the girl in front of me as he walked past. She turned around and socked me in the face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He was just an immature child who couldn't admit he was wrong. All the same, argument won.

It was much much worst back then, than it is now. The stuff today is 100x better in comparison.

Lets not forget the communist witch hunts. Heaven help you if you were a gay black communist housewife.

Sadly, OP, you proved his point by being a ranting dingus. YDI for not appreciating the insights of the young....

Not about the racisim sexism and stuff, but there were more family values, honor was a part of life, people actually had ambition, and the television shows were better:)

Don't forget the unreasonable paranoia about Communists and H-Bombs!

That was completely rational.. we came VERY close to nuclear war during the Cuban missile crisis.. Yes that was in the 60's but still the Cold War.

You say this person was a "kid." Well, as a kid, how would he know what it was like in the 50s? Kids these days think they know everything...and of course their parents don't teach them what's acceptable to say/do in public and what isn't.

That quite a statement coming from you Mr. Weaboo.

Maybe he was referring to the fact that crime was much less, people were much more respectful, police were respected and were more respectful as well. not everything in the 50s was shite. you negative nancy, deserved it

Even if that's true, the OP didn't deserved to be hit.

Considering Im mixed race, a woman, and in an interracial relationship I certainly wouldn't want to live in the 50's. It's easy to idolize a generation after society has corrected all of their wrong doings (marital rape made illegal, domestic violence has real consequences and you cant just lynch people out in the open with no fear of consequences). There was less gun violence and terrorism in the 50's but I live in a good neighborhood so its not really an issue for me and I wouldn't trade my fair pay, marriage rights, and ability to walk down the street and drink out of a public fountain for those two things. For all the hysteria about attacks from the middle east that we have today, there was equal if not more hysteria about the cold war and Russia in the 50's. As far as kids being more respectful that MIGHT be true BUT there was also horrific child abuse in the 50's and earlier, its one of the reasons we have so many laws protecting children now, quite a few kids from the era turned to drugs and alcohol in the subsequent decades because of the way they were treated. Its still possible to raise respectful, hard working kids in the modern era, Im doing it and so are many other attentive parents.
