Now days, you can live on a block for 5 years and not get to know a single neighbor. Most people don't know their neighbors, and what has this gotten us?

A bunch of selfish narcissistic pricks who rarely if ever take other's feelings into consideration. I know there's going to be that group that comes in here and says that things have never changed, today's youth is no worse than the previous generations...and that's bullshit.

A study came out the other day, and in college kids, narcissism has gone up 20%...shove that where the sun doesn't shine selfish pricks.
Its funny how you want to blame the younger generation for the way things are now when its the baby boomers who have created the society we are living in today. If everything wasn't so fast paced we might have time for the things we once did. Kids are more narcissitic? Well its the media assholes creating television shows and magazines making kids think its the "normal" way to be so that they'll keep buying shit they don't need.
