On the practical side of this, if I wanted to exchange ideas with a roomful of snarky teenagers, I could have joined Facebook and spend my time discussing "Jersey Shore", or finding out who is Taylor Swift dating. So, I'll just be negative a while longer and go talk to some adults.
Have a nice day.
I've tried to be reasonable about this, but calling me a snarky teenager because I won't submit to your politically correct policing is indicative of someone who is frustrated that people aren't as ultra-sensitive as they are. The last ditch effort of the thought police is to label anyone who doesn't think like they do as inherently immature. Maybe you should go to facebook to spend your time discussing Jersey Shore as you would be more comfortable that way, and we wouldn't have to walk on eggshells around your fragile ego.
