Monster of a problem

ROYAL PALM BEACH ý Jeff George’s super-size pickup is so big the truck fills the length of his driveway and spills onto the sidewalk in front of his house.

The horn on the 12,000-pound monster of a truck sounds identical to the blare from an approaching train.

You know what I get out of all of this after reading quite a few posts?

The embarrassment of so many of these posts by obviously immature males and females in their 20s and 30s yakking back and forth about who’s going to kill who, and who’s going to bash who, all over some spoiled brat’s truck, a person that is an obvious huge let down to his father.

If this is any indication of the quality of our younger generation today, it is so very sad. What a complete failure.

Ladies in your 20s and 30s who are sticking up for little boys on this blog…..Run away, don’t walk away, and now, and secure a better future for yourselves without these losers. These little boys can only bring you down. They aren’t men, not even close, by anyone’s standards.

I have nothing against anyone wanting to own a nice truck, however, you have to admit, the testicles on the back really does make one think the driver of that vehicle is very hard up for a woman. You may think not, but that’s what everybody sees. Your objective has totally backfired on you and is making you a laughing stock on the road. People are not looking at you thinking you’re some tough guy, they are laughing at you thinking what a total fool you are.

As to some of you trying to prove some sense of southern heritage, by flying your worn out confederate flags and/or just by driving a truck, and thinking that somehow makes you think people will look at you as some sort of native, southern boy or girl, again, that backfires on you everyday.

The south left south Florida years ago, and that post a couple of days ago by the person who grew up in Boca Raton in the 1950s summed it up perfectly. I should know. I was born in West Palm Beach in 1951 and remember a very different south Florida, and the real old south, not this fake old south some of you are falsely trying to hang on to today. Get over it. If you want to be something like that, you better move a little farther north, because that false attitude will only leave you frustrated, bitter, and lessen your chances of real success in this area of the state.

As to these little boys on here trying to be big, think of how small and meaningless you have become when comparing yourselves to men and women your same age, mature, and full of real guts, fighting overseas at this very moment that some of you are still trying to get over your hangover from last night.

I hope that angers you. It should. You couldn’t hold a candle to people of such caliber. As it stands right now, most of you do not have what it takes to be brave, proud, and successful, and ladies, get out while the getting is good.

Even if it is the greatest thing ever created, I wouldn’t have it if the “new AT&T” is the sole provider of service. I was so glad when AT&T went bankrupt, as their business model was to buy companies, destroy them, then sell the residue to the highest bidder. Yet they have been resurrected into something even worse lately! The new AT&T will gladly provide your cellular records to the Wexler’s RIAA friends and to any attorney who might want to see if you were making a cell call during an accident, or basically to anybody for any reason at all!

Steve Jobs wants me to pay $500 for something that gets hauled everywhere,scratched,jostled around,sat on, dropped, rained on, and left out in the open on bars.

No thanks. There are plenty of ‘gadget’ guys and B-minuses who somehow think having the coolest stuff makes them prettier who will jump on this. I’ll stick with my trusty $50 flip phone.

I’m beginning to suspect I need some sort of mental health care help - I can’t see anything remotely attractive about an iPhone :-).

The apple sheep will flock to this phone.

Overall though, until the price drops significantly, most folks won’t buy.
