We are raising a generation of narcissistic morons. Just watch the video.

Not one of these kids is trying to break up the fight and restore some type of order. Nope, they've got to get it on video so they can post it on YouTube or Vine and get "famous". I shudder to think what some of these kids will grow up to be.

The only difference is the technology.
What adorable white bread world did you grow up in where kids try to break up a fight when one breaks out? When I was a kid they just circled around you and chanted. Then, as always, after the fight is over some 'tough guy' from the crowd will lay cheap shots into the loser. I saw kids get hospitalized in fights. I've seen 20 guys beat the shit out of one guy.
The only difference is that people have cellphones. Your generation and mine (which may be the same) were full of assholes too. This shit actually happened more often when I was a teen in the 90's. If they had cameras, they would have been recording as well.
