Re: Evolution is now moving backwards

Yea I would say they are about now, but they will just buy them something else to go play with.<br />That's what's wrong with kids nowadays, no values and no priorities what so ever.<br /><br />Don't know the meaning of a dollar cause the parents just hand it to them.<br />Let them get out and work for what they have and they have a whole new outlook on this stuff.

Yep! Just buy it for them and turn them loose. Kids are quite capable of finding the right way whether it be mechanics or morals. Don't want to squelch the poor things.

I really didn't look at file size. It loaded for me in a couple seconds. We are Roadrunner here so files load in a flash - been so long since I used dial up I never ever think about dowload times.

I'm on wireless (just below dsl/cable speed)<br /><br />I was downloading a little slow (around 75k/sec)<br />I was just wondering how big the file was.<br /><br />H.

I down loaded that in 2-3 seconds.<br />Reminded me when I was stuck in a ditch in Maine.<br />A fella come by an said "need a tow out of that ther hole" and I said " yup". The fella backs up, takes out his tow chain hooks it to his bumper, throws the other end towards my bumper and says, "If ya want me ta pull ya out of thar, ya need to hook it to your bumper, that way I'm not liable.

Are kids getting dumber, or are cars just getting crappier?

Kids aren't getting dumber. Could happen to an adult.<br />Some cars Especially them throw aways are basicly frameless and that is what happens.<br />Trucks still have frames

Kids are getting dumber.<br /><br />If they would have pulled it to the left, with their hands, it would have been out of the snow in 5 seconds.

Re: Evolution is now moving backwards

Fly Rod, some of us don't have a choice! It would cost me $4500 for the equipment and $1,000 per month to get DSL here in Ghana! Too far out of the city for any other option than radio phone and dial-up. It is better than nothing!
