You know what? Things aren't what they used to be - of course they're not. In some ways they are better - computers, internet, cell phones, cable television (including MTV - which I loved, who didn't love the first Flock of Seagulls video!), video games, cd's and dvd's, ease of travel, etc. In some ways they are worse, but it has always been that way, and always will be.
My kids lament about things being tougher now than when I was their age, and that is probably true, there is definitely more pressure now, and I certainly didn't have to learn 1/2 of the things they do - they are ALOT smarter than me, even with their "smart" mouths
BTW, I rarely have found people on Greek Chat to be rude, they can be confrontational and forthright, which can be somewhat offputting, but I have grown a thicker skin, and enjoy the reparte'.
