Dumb people

I saw the following post somewhere and it made me really angry:


"The worst thing about me
is that I am a musical ageist. I associate certain songs with events in my life, and when I see “kids” talking about “this song is so important to me, it’s my fave, blah blah blah”, I get quite snotty.
I’m often like “really?, I was listening to this song when you were like ten and I was.. (on my first trip to Iraq, ending my visit to Judy in DC because we had to go down for Katrina, getting shot, at McNabb’s funeral, or any number of significant events)”. Don’t tell me it has some special meaning to you, cause you were'nt even potty trained when it first came out."


I am proud of this person for serving our country, I truly am. As well as I am sure he went through some rough times and situations while being in the service. But I think his reasoning behind this was skewed.


This would sort of be like saying to someone  ten years from now, " You can not possibly feel sadness or loss for those firefighters, co-workers, friends, and family who lost loved ones when the twin towers were attacked by terrorists. How dare you feel proud of those people who went in to try and save others when they knew good and well that they themselves were probably not going to come back out. You weren't even born yet"


Or "Were you there when Jesus healed the sick and gave people a reason to live and have faith? No, I don't think so."


People are dumb.
Just because something happened a long time ago or is old does not mean it loses its meaning for someone else.
