Today, a kid was ranting that "people these days are so rude" and that "things were much better in the '50s." Annoyed, I asked the delusional twat what was so great about the racial segregation, rampant sexism, homophobia, and all the rest back then. He responded by punching me. FML

He was just an immature child who couldn't admit he was wrong. All the same, argument won.

It was much much worst back then, than it is now. The stuff today is 100x better in comparison.

From this I think you are just a white knight :)

People always complain that this generation is shit, yet they don't understand that all generations were shit.

People who complain about this generation being horrible don't even understand that they're part of the problem because them complaining about it isn't going to make it any better.

He commented on politeness, you commented on something that didn't have to with politeness. How's that going to help?

Well, for starters, he wasn't talking about segregation, sexism, homophobia and the rest. He was talking about politeness. If you were talking about, say, building materials, you wouldn't really get it when someone went "Oh yeah, what's so great about plastic killing millions of fish and birds?!", would you? Although punching you only shows that the kid didn't have any arguments to begin with.

Homophobia is a good thing and the economy was much back then
