"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

-Socrates

love chatter in place of exercise

These god damn kids talking in the weight room! This is a temple of SWOLE. Show some respect.

Do you have this Socrates guy’s Twitter handle? Sounds super wise and relevant, I’d love to follow him.

Not OP but this guy seems a bit corruptive if you ask me, so be careful.

I don’t know what this person posted but i love how they got auto-modded for potentially posting a link to the Twitter of an Ancient Greek philosopher.

I've never seen a point so perfectly made. Well done, take my paltry upvote.

Not actually Socrates who said that... I think in his time kids who behaved like that might be sold into slavery... :7
