Stuff that grinds your gears

It sounds like a nightmare out there.

Bullying used stop at the school gate, now it's non stop.

You can get jailed now if you grope a girls tits in bed in the wrong way.

Nevermind pumping primary school kids full of info about their gender being a choice.


We definitely had it maybe not easier but definitely a lot less focked up

Some of my carry on in sidetrax, cubins etc back 15 years or so ago would now see me labelled as a mysoginist creep at best,

If that had been video’d, All that would do Jim, is turn opinion into fact.

In my day you’d be sent off for a long weight or a length of fallopian tube and 5 or 6 people would get a laugh out of it.

Now it’s recorded and it could be 5/6000 people view it and comment on it.

That can de devastating for someone’s confidence.

I was in a playground with my kids last week, my 11 year old is on the spectrum in a mild enough way but can be very
immature, a few teenagers there were laughing at him and i cant be certain but i reckon one or two of them videoed him,

One of the lads that died pissed his pants at a house party and videos of it were shared on WhatsApp. Poor kid got an awful doing.

His parents, aunts and uncles all got wind of it.

He was a lovely kid and dead within a month.

While there must have been underlying issues there, these kind of things definitely don’t help.

That's horrendous.

People seem oblivious to the damage they're doing.

Just grab the phone and share.

There was a video on wattapp last week of a girl giving a fella a BJ in full view of people, Majority of the onlookers
had their phones out recording, many of them old enough to know better, The girl and fella may well have been pissed or stoned
and may now be traumatised by this video,

I get what you're saying but I think every generation says that. We look at the younger crowd and see their problems and think glad I didn't have to deal with that growing up.

And yes, I'm glad I didn't grow up in the age of the smart phone and what it entails. But if I did, I'd probably be okay with it. Thing is, suicide has long been one of the major reasons for deaths of men in this country, young and not so young and it's never been given the attention it deserves.

Good post,
A friend pointed out to me once that growing up there was no diagnosis for many of the conditions we see today and many of them involved mental health.
With smart phones today everyone wants to fit into a category of what's presented before them as an ideal, and if they fail to live up to it they see themselves as failures.
As Hank said I'd hate to be a young fella these days...

Id say she was certainly over 18, but that is neither here nor there,
