And everyone in this thread is talking about nonsense...
I'm literally saddened by this thread. It depresses me.

They're called digressions. The word "digression" or some translation of it has been around since, I dunno, I'm going to guess since the beginning of human linguistic history. Do you think it is only "today's youth" (hint, I'm only seven years younger than you) that have been prone to digressions, despite the word being around for ages? Have you spent every waking moment of the last two weeks or so thinking and talking only about Georgia and Russia?
Again, like the drinking thread, I'm sorry to hijack the thread. But, puh-lease about the "today's youth" crap.
