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.

That pretty much proved that he didn't have a response to what you said.

I understood what the comment meant. My point is that all generations have flaws. The future generation does look like shit, but then again, all of them kinda do also.

I don't agree with his actions, but I have to agree with what he said. And calling him what you did was very rude.
1jordan1 11
Excuse me, I know you didn't call him that, I didn't mean to sound like I thought you did, but the point he made was very true, although his actions didn't promote it. I understand where you're coming from, but people were different back then.

In that people were raised to be racist, homophobic and sexist to a greater extent than they are today... yes. That's not really a "little thing" that can just be brushed off like "sure, Danny hated them black people and beat his wife every day, but it was a different time! A better time, somehow."

I know it can't be, I'm not saying racism and homophobia was okay, don't put words into my mouth, please. But back then, people were more kind to people on the street. People would go out of their way to help someone even when it didn't benefit them. If you fell down, today people would keep walking or walk on you. Back then, they would have helped.

Most people felt obligated to help out and be a better person because they had morals. Of course the social and political issues weren't okay, but look at them as a human being, not just at their views on race and homosexuality. People were kind and wanted to be helpful. Now with people it's "who do I have to step on to get ahead".

And I'm not saying everyone was like that, obviously. But the common man had morals and was more kind back then than they are today. But I'm also basic this off of today's common man, and the bar for morals and respect is extremely low, so it's not that hard to beat.

I've always said the same thing! Wearing a leather jacket, drivin a Chevrolet, listing to Rock'n'Roll on the way to the drive in movie with your girl in the front seat. It was an age of family values, respect, and great music. An awesome Economy and Great sense of patriotism too! It was the Golden age of America. Yes it has it's issues but every generation does. So he's right, people were generally more polite then.

Yeah, people were just so *polite* while they banned non-whites from attending the same schools and treated gay people as sub-human. But hey, every generation has its problems! Sure interracial marriage was illegal, but leather jackets were IN so it pretty much evens out.

Wow you just refuse to see it from anyone else's point of view don't you? Dude, like this guy said, every generation has its problems, some worse than others. People being more polite doesn't overshadow the issues from back then, but that's not the point this guy or the guy you were talking to was making.

Actually there wasn't segregation everywhere. I wasn't saying any of that was good, I just love the styles, music, and (Most of) the society of the 50's. That, and I'm a huge Grease fan.

He was probably talking about how self absorbed and inconsiderate ppl are today, and he's right, ppl may have been open about it in the 50's now they think they're clever being sly and using pc and the law to stuff everyone over, i say bring back punching the ignorant in the face, the lack of the threat of violence has made the general population more stick up and arrogant, like u, ydi

At least that's how you know he had no rational way of arguing back.

Can't win a fight with a pig, you both get dirty and the pig likes it. Same goes for morons, including hipster morons.
