If you could play guitar well you got laid there was once a music scene here… Nothing gay about this! ![http://static.tumblr.com/ye4xt6y/duJltflpp/guns-n-roses.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/e/9/e983c2a449b1d10d9b474ff787aa09120b15eae1.jpeg) Nothing wrong with long hair Rambo rocked that shit. It is weird now to talk to guys that have never been in a fight. For me fighting was normal, getting cut, stabbed, shot at almost seemed like a right of passage. Now you can’t kick the living piss out of someone even if they deserve it. (_I am a peaceful guy if I think you need your teeth kicked in you probably do.)_ I had a guy threatening me I told him to come over to my house I’ll be waiting for him (_He had my address_). HE than threatened to so me for harassment?!:dunno Also if you take into account the of emasculation of men by women that’s another factor… Women are looking for guys that look like this. And when I was a teen getting laid was important sure I failed, but lord knows I tried to fit into the machine. So I can’t really blame them on that front. But other than that the music sucks, the _Hipster_ style is a 20 year late rip off of the British scene known as _Idies_ that is dying out, but per as usual America is behind on an old trend. > [@Adult Vehicle?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/adult-vehicle/49588/69): > > HOLY SHIT DID YOU JUST QUOTE KRAZYKID FROM A YEAR AGO??? The day has come that people are finally starting to be as pissed off about it as me and saying something. > > lol > > I blame it on booming technologies running our lives. Technology in the last 10 years has blown up. You can download music which used to take all day, now in 2 minutes or less. Cameras used to be 1 mega pixel, and expensive, now they all went to 10+mp and are cheap as shit. Now a 8mg on a phone is standard equiptment. Chatting on dialing up and signing into the only chat thing out there, AOL, was cool, now texting, blogging, and having the ability to tell anyone you want, at any time, anywhere in the world in literally seconds is easy. Everything is just made too “convienet” around us. Then when something inconvienet like, chopping wood, is looked at like barbaric or some shit and they say “Ewwww I am not doing that”. EASY, EASY, EASY… is the key word. Humans in general strive for EASY, thats nature I guess, but accountability for actions is EASILY left behind. Kids are impressionable, and see the older parents as “too old and not cool” becasue their mom and dad dont text 10,000 messages every month, or do all the dumb shit (becasue its not a damn priority like kids think it is), so they think they are smarter, better or what ever than their parents becasue they can utilize the EASY technology that their parents dont. Not to mention they are taught in school “work smarter not harder”. So all it does is remove the need for them to have to put forth much effort at all to get something done, even if they give a shit to even try to do something in the first place. Not to mention now more so than ever before that I remember, IMAGE IS EVERYTHING. Look at the car scene, its the biggest example of it. Cookie cutter cars, all with the same over all image. Fucking 2 types of BBS wheels on a VW have been played forever and it blows my mind that people still say HOLYSHIT WOW, like its the first time they saw a stock ass VW with different suspension and wheels. Big fucking deal. Or they think they are leaps and bounds better than the next cookie cutter becasue they made a tiny change, got a few people to like it and BOOM they are the next coolest car out there and its revolutionary. Its a fucking joke to anyone who actually has the balls to stand up to a group of nutt swingers and call them out. Then instead of putting in extra effort to do something right, lets say color changing a roof on a car, the COOL thing to do is once again the easy way out, plasti dip. Instead of painting it correctly, its spray bombed with $12 of bullshit in a can that will look like shit. > > kk rant over. But yeah, I hate it too. Oh GOD KrazyKid is in here the rage has officially begun.:lol > [@Father Baker's](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/father-bakers/49611/6): > > So OP’s logic is if you can’t benchpress 300lbs and have a physique of a beefcake, you are automatically not a man; and people who are physicist, economist, architects and doctors are all pussies because they are not lumberjacks and miners.

The best thing my parents ever taught me was that I WASN’T special, that other people’s thoughts and opinions mattered more than mine, and when I fucked up I should A:feel awful and B:fix it.
