You really have to feel sorry for someone that likely cant get through their day without needing to find daily affirmation through a computer company.

I was just wondering the other day what we used to do back in the dark ages when we did not have cell phones, computers, internet and instant communications of all sorts?

Well, as kids we played sports, some unorganised and unsupervised without adults. Like on a corner lot, sandlot, hell, even a street. We build forts and played army, cowboys and indians as well as tried a little Tarzan activities that likely ended up at the hospital for broken somethings.

Bicycles were the primary mode of transportation, no mom and the suv. We modded them, raced them, painted them and learned to fix their flats. Scate boards? Hell, we invented them with 2x4’s and old metal roller skates.

Stilts, I made some once that I had to sit on my folks flat top Mexican style house to get on em. Push carts, wooden go carts with lawn mower engines on them. And oh, we forgot the brakes cause we though we could drag out feet good enough to stop.

Injuries, sprained ankles, dislocated shoulders, rasberries from sliding into home plate, not texting thumbs. WHAAAAAT?

I get so sick of folks talking so much about their new cell phone that has trick app this and trick app that. Computers that can run a bank deposits. Crap, we went to the moon with 64K and lots of creative minds, creative minds that are leaving behind kids that have sore thumbs from texting.

Gawd, what has America become? I wonder if China takes over the world they will let us play computer games? I do reckon however, they will let us do each others laundry.

I always thought FR was a conservative website for the posting and discussion of relevant political or social news. What this cultist does (and has done for years) is post completely irrelevant and often inaccurate information about Apple. There are plenty of cultist-centric forums where like-minded zombies gather and seek meaning and affirmation through their choice of operating system. I have never figured out the relevance of it here.

It is sad, really, that he and others do what they do. I mean, at the end of the day, who really cares?
