I went to Belize a couple of years ago......because Hawaii is rumored to be full of douchebags.



I have thought about making a couple of small signs to keep in my transportation mechanism. I was thinking 2, with a positive and negative note on each side to cover most needs. Including a thank you.

Not quite. Those pictures you posted were of people getting their news from the only source available at the time. They weren't spending hours a day on Facebook, twitter, Instagram, I-tunes, etc... Posting pictures of their dog, dinner, and such. When people got together back then they actually sat around and conversed. Today you can't go out to dinner with a group of people without some narcissistic douchebag pulling out their phone to update their Facebook status, text someone what they are doing, or spout their stupid opinion on Twitter.

Kids today are quickly losing the ability to communicate effectively. Technology has given us many great things, but the price for these advances is the things we will surely lose like effective verbal communication, adequate attention spans, and the feeling that some things in life should be kept to yourself.

Hawaii is great and from my experience the rumors you've heard are unfounded. Local Hawaiians are some of the most generous and laid back people I've ever met.

How was Belize? I've heard good things from several other people.

Exactly.

My brother insists this is the real zombie apocalypse.

I totally agree.

The worst is when they are driving and there is clear asphalt ahead of them.

Or in the movie theater.

Or just talking out loud everywhere in person.

I don't want to hear your ****ing conversations.

Pretty sure Stephen King wrote a novel about that.

Performers OWN rude guy on his phone during their show....

It's getting ridiculous, but what can we do about it?

The people that get me are parents at sports games that just stare at their phone for the whole game. You can't watch your kid play soccer or baseball for an hour?

Just released, I thought it was particularly pertinent:

LMAO

That's pretty good.

I think you missed the chain of posts from gochiefs and zach et al about an experience in Hawaii.
