Victor, part I

Sitting at a poker table, I couldn't help but be amazed by the number of young players who seem to view the entire universe through the portals of their iPads. I know better, but as always, I just can't help myself

Just remind him that the structure of society is essentially unchanged over the last 2000 years. The rich still have all the money, the poor still beg in the streets, and those in between still waste their time watching sport in the Colosseum and wagering in games of chance.

Sure, he doesn't eat and vomit for fun. But then, doesn't know what he's missing.

Just tell him when you were a kid you swam in rivers and lakes in water that was clean enough to drink, and actually breathed the air in L.A. without choking on it. And, that you could jump on the 405 and get anywhere you wanted to in 15 minutes.

Punch him in his stupid face, right through the iFag. Well, we can fantasize.

You used the wrong example in your argument. What you should have done is compared his generation to our father's generation. I mean...this kid gets to spend his time on the internet, but when my dad was his age he was taking broads two at a time to see Elvis in person and fearlessly bang both broads afterwards without the threat of herpes or aids.

Checkmate.

Perhaps my dad left a video of it on youtube for your pudknocking opponent to watch.

I'm not sure I'm clear on what the argument is about here. Namely, I don't exactly understand the metric being used to measure one generation against the other (at best it seems like that metric may be a moving target). But the best I can figure, it seems to primarily have to do with how things are experienced by the current generation vs previous generations
