This thread is bollox frankly. You know in your hearts there is a problem but instead of confronting it you choose to live in a haze of irony facilitated by photoshop.
When there were problems in the past, people got together and said no more, they set up football clubs and youth clubs to channel the despair that is all too obvious in modern society.
Of course things were no better in the past, but at least people responded to the problems rather than self-congratulating themselves on how superior they are to the troublesome yoof now they have a mountain bike and a mortgage.
Rant over!
