And why can’t anybody from that generation communicate without saying “like” and “literally?”

I do feel for them, though. She and others probably thought this would be a festive gathering. It appears that getting a crowd together for what is supposed to be a celebratory event is very dangerous these days.

“ It appears that getting a crowd together for what is supposed to be a celebratory event is very dangerous these days.”

That statement made me think. I remember going to big kegger parties in high school in the early ‘70’s that sometimes exceeded 100 people. One thing you could expect to happen was somebody or a group of somebodies, usually from another high school would discover our gathering and try to start a fight.

That’s where it ended, maybe a couple of minutes of blazing fisticuffs and perhaps we would chase them away, but never, ever did anyone club, cut or shoot anyone, we didn’t need weapons, at 17 you are a weapon.

What’s changed? 2 prominent things…fatherless families and discipline/responsibility.

Meh. Likely just another excuse to drink and twerk like a baboon in heat.
