doc wat im getting from this msg is that your talking shit on the entire
younger gen and i think thats wat lukes feeling as well, this is
sterotyping to say that all younger generation does not know what the

that we cant
add/subtract and shit without a calculator is fucking rediclous you need
to get off your high horse just because ur older dosent mean you can
talk shit on the younger generation
