But seriously though, people have been saying similar things for hundreds of years. I'd hardly consider the past to be inherently better than today.
I always love to use this quote in this type of debate:
“Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.”
Aristophanes' "The Clouds", 423 BC.
People have been going on about this for millennia it seems.
So this is kind of like a rant but also like how I have felt recently about how people have acted.
Well as you know in the old times people would actually care about each other

Really, the world is better now than it has ever been. Far less violence, less hunger, more wealth, longer lives, better technology... People have always obsessed about appearance (the ancient Greeks sure as hell did). And what's so bad about women wearing make-up? If it makes them feel prettier, then power to them. I don't understand where you're getting any of this from. There is plenty of good in the world now and much less bad than historically.
No, no, no, no, no. Sugary drinks are terrible for trying to stay awake despite the caffeine, even if you do manage to stay awake you'll feel terrible as your body crashes but your mind is unable to shut off. Coffee and icy cool water is what you need to stay awake a long time.
I think a simple "Hey, can you stop making out in public because it's starting to disturb others" kinda thing would be better to say then that.
Or, like someone else said, you could just ignore them? It's entirely harmless. You don't have a right to tell people what they can and can't do in public when nobody's being hurt.
Who knows, thousands of years from now maybe. The question is why? I'm sure you could make much more effective long range weapons with that kinda technology, why restrict yourself to melee range?
I'm gonna write to Fahir Atakoglu tomorrow, I have his official website, but some of the music is written by the other 2 composers (see https://itunes.apple.com/album/hain-pusu/id646983262?i=646984595&ign-mpt=uo%3D5), Aytekin Atas and Soner Akalin! How do I contact them if they have no official website and 70% of the music has been written by not only Fahir?
When you write to the first guy ask about the other two I guess? He might know them personally and be able to ask them himself.
Well sure, if the government ever decides the commonpeople of minecraftforum.net are of significant danger to the President or an precious Presidents. Or to waste their time pursuing things like this at all (which they won't).
Too many people in mind, no one anyone here knows, so it's quite pointless to name names.

I wouldn't kill anyone unless in killing them I saved lots of other people. I certainly wouldn't kill someone just because they bullied me as a kid or annoyed me at some point. That would be a major overreaction.
Killing someone would devastate that person's loved ones; hating someone would not be justification in my mind to put people through that kinda pain.
However, if I could, say, kill a dangerous serial killer then yes, I'd do that, in the expectation I save more lives than I take.

They tend not to take this kind of thing very lightly.
