and I'm realizing how much of a generational divide there is between my beliefs on the matter and what you older gentleman grew up with. To me calling attention to someones race is unnecessary and irrelevant. Whether or not he means to put this man down for his race, I know he didn't, doesn't matter to me. It still is classifying this guy by his race. I know your generational beliefs are different and I apologize for offending anyone on here... anyways

mods smack board maybe?

Nah...not smack board worthy. Also, I ain't that old! I'm only 34!

I'm 22 so if your age>22 then you are older. I used a qualifier. I did not call anyone old. Unless you would rather me not call you a gentleman. There are a few people on here that don't deserve that title.

I was only joking. I don't generally act like it, but I do that from time to time.

Why you young whipper snappers......

urban dictionary- Whipper snapper
this always has interesting definitions as they are user submitted.

the real definition I believe:

In the 17th century (London, Paris and other large cities) one could see young idle men who liked to think they were important while in reality they were unambitious pretentious louts whose only way of drawing attention to themselves was to constantly crack and snap a short whip which they carried.

Hence they were called "whipper-snappers". The label was adopted by visitors from other countries and began to be used in America in the late 1700's.

Lout. I think I will use that term tomorrow. I have a few louts I must deal with.
