[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 548923, member: 7277"] I have no idea why you came off so confrontational, as I wasn't even referring to you as a know-it-all, just simply saying that every generation of fans has those who think they know more than the rest. I find your first paragraph to be rather offensive. I'm in my 30's and did 2 OIF tours to Iraq. I also have a degree in Accounting, if you're looking for that kind of "life experience". I'm not bragging about either. I'm simply saying, please don't assume you know someone and their story. I have no idea where you were going with your rant after that. I never questioned your experience or education. Congratulations on your accomplishments with ASCII. I never questioned the value of old news. In fact, I said the sensationalizing of news today because of the internet is part of the reason that people tend to believe in myths. By the way, you're dead wrong about your last paragraph, which is ironic since it screamed to my "ignorance of the truth". I do my research before I go claiming things, Don. I don't go read a Yahoo article and then try to pass it off as fact. Here's a good article from CNN last year about the drop in violence the last 20 years. Go ahead and tell me that CNN isn't credible. I'm fairly certain they were covering the news "back in your day". In fact, I remember watching their live coverage of the Challenger disaster in 1986 when I was very, very young. It's not an opinion article. It's not an editorial. It's based on actual research.
