These kids have never seen an NES or a record player? That's cool. Why don't they ask their parents or older relatives about what life was like back then or read a book? Why don't they make an effort to learn?<br>Being anti-intellectual is bad enough, add being obnoxious to that and it's enraging to share even the same continent with you.<br><br>I'm reading too much into this.

I also think that they overreact on purpose for the video and i don't like when they react to something from the past and think that it's bad or stupid just because it's not instant. Like when they reacted to the nes or a typewriter or gameboy they complain that it's too complicated or there are to many steps to turn it on. It's almost like they can't function or use there brains and figure it out by looking at it and seeing a button that says power or volume. When i was a little kid i thought that older stuff was cool and interesting. | Jrs1991 | Oct 29, 2014 |  |

| 13153 | Why no Image Comics? | I wouldn't mind seeing a series or film based on Cyber Force or Union. I bet Savage Dragon would do pretty well too (yes, I know there was an animated series).<br> | Vaporman87 | Oct 29, 2014 | |

| 13151 | Things you don't like about this era. | I don't like how this era makes doesn't settle with me. Perhaps I should learn to go with the flow...<br><br>On that note I don't like the direction of video recording. It seems like old school family video tapes are a thing of the past. Now it's all 10 second clips of the kids running around. Back in the day when dad got out the shoulder mounted cassette recorder he would shoot till the tape was maxed out. You could watch a scene play out for 15 minutes as opposed to a short blurb taken from a smart phone.<br> | vkimo | Oct 29, 2014 | |
| 13150 | What's your costume? | <blockquote rel="NLogan"><b>NLogan wrote :</b><i><br>Have you seen the Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated series? I watched it with my boys on Netflix.

I like that it references previous bad guys with the museum, and that there is a larger, over-arching storyline that is interspersed within the stories of each episode. It's probably the best Scooby-Doo series since the original, IMHO.<br><br>Also, really diggin' the cool homemade mask shakin!<br> | Vaporman87 | Oct 28, 2014 | |
| 13149 | Things you don't like about this era. | Patti Smith: ...What would I do now? I would probably—I can't say because we live in a completely different culture. For instance, we had nothing—Robert [Mapplethorpe] and I had no cell phones, no television sets, no fax machines, no computer. If we wanted to make a phone call, we saved our money and went to a telephone booth. People live differently, it's an entirely different culture, and it's a culture that's being formed around a lot of technology that's expensive. Also, we had no credit cards. I wouldn't want to have to buy into that culture. I wouldn't want a credit card, I wouldn't want to have to live on a credit card, I wouldn't want to get in debt...<br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">Interviewer: The way you lived seemed so free and almost magical, more spontaneous. Visitors would stop by your apartment, you would run into people.</span><br><br>Patti Smith: It was a different culture. We also didn't have all the surveillance. Nobody had cameras in the late 60s when I lived at the Chelsea Hotel. Almost all the people of our cultural voice stayed at the Chelsea. The Allman brothers stayed there, Janis Joplin stayed there, Jimi Hendrix stayed there, Bob Dylan lived there, Nico—all these different people you saw at the Chelsea Hotel. This is where I lived. And nobody took these people's pictures. Nobody was stopping them every five seconds for their autograph or wanting to take selfies. That culture didn't exist. These people were obviously of high status, but the rungs of their ladder weren't so far away from ours. We all spoke the same language, we listened to the same music, we were against the same war, and so it was different, you know. I didn't think so at the time, but it was obviously in certain ways a simpler time. I'm not saying things weren't complex and difficult, but we knew who we were as a generation, and this is a different time. It's also a really interesting time. It's like pioneer days, it's like the wild west is the Internet. It's being invented—we're living in times that never existed. Some of the things are terrible. No, I never would have anticipated the times we're in, ever. <b><br></b> | shakin steak | Oct 28, 2014 | |
| 13148 | Treehouse of Horror marathon | Well one of those guesses is bound to be right. There's two kinds of people, after all. People who work on the show, and people who don't.<br> | shakin steak | Oct 28, 2014 | |
