Why learn to play a guitar when you can turn some knobs?





1. Surely you jest!
2. Surely you do not play an instrument and understand the pleasure brought by doing so.

Music is dubbed bullshite or rap using other people’s recorded musical abilities if that, riding my generation’s coattails in retreading our music because except for a few, you’ve managed to lose any original though and creativity, don’t plant gardens, don’t cook, don’t know how to can or preserve, clueless about working on vehicles, can’t drive a stick, don’t even like to go outside really, and can’t do shite but play video games and frick around with computers

Let me put this plain and simple. If this planet gets zapped with a solar storm that takes out our technology, most of you people are completely fricked. You’ll be eating each other within a week.


This is truly one of the dumbest posts I’ve ever seen on this website.

No, it’s actually not far off the mark at all. You lose transportation, electricity, and all your technology and you can’t google answers, you’re fricked. We all are, but none more so than millennials.

Sorry, but you are completely ignorant. You’re just spewing generalizations as facts.

There’s a very good reason for generalities. There’s truth to them.

Right, I’m sure you deal directly with plenty of millennials daily and know the intricacies of all their lives.

Most of your dumb post didn’t even make sense. Music is just “dubbed bullshite and rap”? You must live in a closet.

People don’t cook anymore? Or can/preserve things? What an asinine statement.

You just reek of a “get off my lawn” type spewing out things Fox News told him was true.

can’t drive a stick


Manager of my local oil change place said 90% of the kids that apply for jobs there don't know how to drive a stick.

As someone who can drive a stick, why do old people harp on that so much? It isn’t necessary. Something like 6% of cars sold nowadays are manual transmission.

Why should someone know how to do something they likely will never encounter? Just because they should “do it the way we did”?

That's pretty true. You'd have to go out of your way at this point to find a stick shift and learn how to drive it. Most companies don't even bother making them or make very few of them. Stick shift cars are like the dinosaurs of cars these days.

Seems like with his money you could just get a heart transplant?

Who in their right mind would give Slash a shiny new heart, especially back then?!

The whole reason he got the defibrillator is because his heart was so enlarged and damaged from drugs and alcohol that he was only expected to live a few more days/weeks, but somehow survived and got strong enough for his heart to begin healing some and to get the defibrillator. Only later did he get clean.

The members of Guns N' Roses did NOT frick around when it came to sex, drugs, and rock n' roll. Hell, Slash was clinically dead from an OD at one point, Duff McKagan's pancreas exploded from alcohol abuse, and Steve Adler had cocaine induced strokes.
