    Trash talking have been around a long time and not just in video games, still my experience with xbox live tells me this have a lot to do with younger kids playing online games. Even so there are adults too that got a foul mouth.

    You know you fail at parenting when you buy an expensive CoD cake for your 10 year old.

    Ahem OT: At least in real life you can "Accidentally" headbutt someone's nose if they trash talk you too much before a sporting activity. Or place their drink in a precarious position so that they knock it over themselves and spill it all over their cards/pants

    You can't on the internet sadly

    I don't think he posted the cake because it looked cool. Look at the age of the person the cake is for

    I'd buy that cake for an adult friend that like CoD as a form of trash talking (with the happy 10th).

    Arnold Schwarzenegger used to trash talk Lou Ferrigno before competitions, and those competitions were very close.

    **edit** Though, to be fair, he probably learned it from playing CoD when he was 10 years old. Kids these days....

    I've met plenty of douche-bag adults in my gaming history, and also met plenty of nice and reasonable "kids".

    I'm pretty sure our Hominid ancestors used to trash talk each other about who threw the rock further, or who killed the biggest deer, etc.
    Right after language was invented.
    Before that they just held up the "L" sign to their foreheads to illustrate superiority. That's where the letter "L" originates.

    Just adding my own observations. I'm in my late 30's and played football and ran track. Trash talk back then wasn't really noticible...at least on the fields. As for the basketball courts, it was generally talking about how good you were, not about how "noob" the person covering you was (ex."Man, you can't cover me). As for gaming consoles and games like TECMO bowl...lol, again it was more about how good you were. I gamed competitively in SC ladders and local tourneys and again, I just don't remember the level of trashtalk there is now. Just the other day I got some /w about how horrible my gear was.....seriously?

    On another note, my son is 17 and lives far from me with the ex and her husband. My son plays a lot of gaming and trashtalk to him is normal play. "Noob" and "You suck are you mentally retarded? are normal chat to him. We won't go into the parenting aspect, I've tried to explain to him the whole good sportsmanship and general respect for others...but 2600 miles makes it hard to keep that message up.

    Anyway, it's just my take on things, but I really think there's been a general shift in just respect towards others. Just look at the threads here and it's more than obvious.
