We're Friggin Brilliant

I feel my generation and the generations succeeding mine have gotten a bad wrap these last 20 years or so. All I've heard from baby-boomers and other fogies is how annoying and incorrect our use of the word "like" is. These complainers have quite the narrow vision. Did it ever occur to them that we youngsters are simply more poetic than they could ever dream of being? Did it ever occur to them we are in love with the simile?

Like I don't think so. See it's like I don't think so, not that I actually don't think so. If actually didn't think so, I wouldn't write it or say it because I wasn't actually thinking of it, so how would I know to write or say it.
