    Ahh the joys and hapiness of simple living Cubano. Modern society has broken the people and taken their souls, their happiness, and fooled them into a miserable life.

  2. I remember the good ole days of skateboarding back in the late 80's and early 90's. So much fun.

    The reason you don't see kids outside much any more is because they are too busy looking at porn on the internet and playing video games. That's why there are so many obese people out there.

  3. Yeah it was like that for me when I was a kid, lots of socialization, riding bikes, meeting girls etc..

    Neighborhoods today look desolate, everyone locked inside in the gated community mcmansion with no yard.

    I am real glad I am not a Kid today. You sure see a lot more miserable pricks on the street than in past times.

    I grew up in a NY until I was 11 or 12 and then moved to suberbs

    The problem is that it seems less safe to leave your kids outside alone. I live in a pretty good neighborhood. If my wife leaves me with the kids - I feel like I have to sit outside and watch my 3 kids.

  5. I think it is more than that. and I have to agree with Carlin. WTF do you need 2 walgreens within a 3 block radius and so many minimalls. It is all the same shit.
