| 4309 | Halloween Nostalgia & More! | I find that these days there is a lot more variety in how you can create a Jack-O-Lantern. <br><br>In my youth, I can only remember simply cutting open the top, scooping out the insides, and cutting a simple face into the pumpkin.<br><br>Nowadays, you don't even have to cut the pumpkin to make it festive. You can purchase felt stickers or plastic attachments that can turn your pumpkin into Iron Man or Sleeping Beauty. <br><br>Or for those with plenty of time on their hands and an artistic streak, you can create elaborate carvings in your pumpkin of Lightning McQueen or Mickey Mouse. Crazy stuff.<br> | Vaporman87 | Oct 15, 2013 |  |
| 4308 | Things you don't like about this era. | I don't consider myself to be a "nostalgiatard". However, I am grateful to have grown up in an era sans the internet and cell phone mania. <br><br>Minus those distractions, youthful interactions were far less aggressive and destructive. If you wanted to badmouth someone behind their back, you did so by word of mouth. Eventually, word gets back to the victim of the slander and face to face confrontation or parental/school personnel mediation happens and things settle down.<br><br>These days, one kid can slander another on Facebook and within minutes the entire student body or neighborhood is chiming in on it and aggression increases with every passing moment and until blood is boiling so much that real violence and harm takes place.<br><br>Does this mean that kids never got in fights in my day? Absolutely not. Kids fought and did so too often. But at least your accuser/slanderer had to have the gumption to do it within your physical presence and under the scrutiny of school staff.<br><br>Our interactions required us to have more civility and to think a bit more about the repercussions... I guess is what I'm saying. Now, everyone is a critic of everyone else and they can hide behind their parent's computer while they cyber-bully their peers. <br> | Vaporman87 | Oct 15, 2013 | |

It's because of that they're refusing to enjoy their childhoods just the way the are, and are jumping on the bandwagon on what the adults have to say. Really, this era is not as bad as what these nostalgiatards make it out to be, and I would much rather that these kids would just enjoy their childhoods just the way they are instead of basing everything they see of what these old farts have to say, which is all nothing more than a generation gap.<br><br>Though that is one thing about this era I do hate... the influence the internet tends to have on younger kids. Some of those kids who try to sound all "cool" and "mature" based on what these said adults post online, and they also have less supervision from parents. This is also true when they have access to some of the mature rated content that's posted on sites like Youtube. That's one of the things that companies and parents should try to take more action on, and find ways to make the internet a safe and fun place for them without having any ways to badly influence them.<br></div></div> | blueluigi | Oct 15, 2013 | |
| 4306 | Things you don't like about this era. | I did enjoy "The Toy" and "See No Evil, Hear No Evil". Also, he was mildly entertaining in Superman 3 (despite the movie being terrible overall). Brewster's Millions was all good.<br> | Vaporman87 | Oct 15, 2013 | |

Nothing for you there? | shakin steak | Oct 15, 2013 | |
