"all you do is play on that computer!" goes back to watching TV

Yeah, because your time watching entertainment tonight is better spent than my time researching for economics.

I fucking hate old people.

I thought those first two lines were pretty good. It's probably that last one that brought on the downmods.

By old people I mean people that criticize any paradigm they aren't familiar with. You don't have to be old to do this, but old people are more likely to do it. I could have used the term neophobe I suppose.

OTOH, the thought of old people down modding me makes me lol.
