The Scrabbled: Making Fun of Each Other since '99

Activity

Wisdom

Anyone get the uncomfortable feeling that the sort of people that bitch and moan about wanting to ban smoking in their early 20’s are the same people that, in 10 years, are going to bitch and moan about how precious their lousy, bratty children are and that we should change all television programming and videogame content to cater to their morality? 10 years after that, they’re going to whine and pule about needing to hobble the internet so that the specter of potential pornography won’t haunt their lousy, teenaged children. 10 years after that, they’re going to lobby their home owner’s association to enforce the lawn-tending and house-paint color bylaws against neighbors they don’t like. 10 years after that, they’ll start railing against estate taxes that will tax the inheritence their lousy, entitled children. By that point, of course, I’ll be dead from second-hand smoke and won’t need to hear about it any more.

They never stop being nervous, spineless navel-gazers, they just find new things to complain about. All their lives. They remind me of the kids that would tattle on classmates for chewing gum or writing notes in class.

About The Scrabbled

The Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
