[quote billb]If I wanted to be mean I would have written what kind of bars.
Kids today really aren't that much different than thirty years ago.
Parents are a bit more affluent ,maybe.
They certainly have a higher bar for that 'one-upmanship' that all kids seem to need to top.
How exactly is what kind of bar relevant? (I know what kind of bar it was-- just don't see how that has any sort of relevance)
Kids may not be that different, but the world is. Their misbehavior is now fully documented for the whole world to see, and whatever they say or do is immediately disseminated worldwide, and permanently preserved for posterity. It's a different world.
