Monopoly and the decline of our future generations

I personally think board games should be called bored games. They are so boring and pointless, so why do so many people like them?

The ultimate "bored" game in my opinion would have to be monopoly. I have never sat through an entire game of monopoly, nor have I ever met anyone who has so why is it so popular?

Recently the "electronic banking" version of monopoly has come out and quite frankly it bothers me. Yes, it may make the game faster but definetly not anymore exciting. You still sit there and move these little pewter pieces across squares and hope you don't get sent to jail. On top of that, it seems we are teaching our children that plastic is the way to play not only in monopoly but in real life, and we wonder why each generation becomes worse and worse with handling finances and results to paying off one credit card debt with another credit card. What is wrong with you America?!
