My buddy and I had to stop at the mall for a few items and as we're walking, a group of three kids aged 10-14 decided to bust through the middle of us throwing elbows and then turned just to let it all out. I'm not a small dude, and my buddy is much bigger than I. It was like Chihuahuas nipping ankles, and all I could do is laugh, but these kids had an agenda. They followed and cussed at us for at least 30 minutes. Stupidity has no bounds nowadays. There is no empathy or even a twinkle of regard for humanity. The internet and technology have been great in some regards, but I think detrimental in others.

Heck, I had a dude at the stadium sitting down directly behind me during the National Anthem which bothers me but if you sit quiet, whatever. This dude is yelling the whole time. This same guy during the services recognition piece is just giving me the business as I'm standing amongst family and friends. He is telling his girlfriend that Special Ops are a bunch of punks (not the word) and how he could have been, blah, blah, blah. Just don't get it. It was a good thing I had the family with me or I guess I would have been a "domestic terrorist" most wanted!

I think this is hilarious.. I have a distant family member who claims he 'could have been' in the SAS (UK equivalent to Delta Force) and if he did take them up on their 'offer' he would have been a high ranking officer... I shut him down once by saying "yeah, of course you could... that's the reason for why you've been unemployed for almost 15 years!"
