Seriously, todays youth?

[Bravo Company]

Is it just me or is this video seriously disturbing? We have kids making weapons out of plastic clothes hangers and crayola markers !


Opinions on this? I think this is creepy, thank goodness I'm a kind person

How is that disturbing? He's not hurting anyone.

Go back a couple of hundred years and he'd be in the army, killing people.

I think "todays youth" are alright.

I actually saw a bunch of drunk fifteen-year olds peeing against an old folks home when I was walking the dog last night, and I was thinking the same thing.

But hey, kids will be kids, right? Nothing us old farts can change about it.

PS. Seeing this video makes me glad I'm not in high school anymore.

I think this shows more creativeness than anything. How are we supposed to evolve as a race without advancements?

 

[Seraniel]

thats called creativity he haz it!

Thanks for putting exactly what I think into words. I hate when people think that we live in horrible days (Time magazines "naughties are the worst deacade evar!" being a prime example). By pretty much any way you measure it, even youth behavior, this is the best time to live in history.

Edit: Happy 100th post to the OP

Wow, there are a lot of weird topics on the Escapist today....

What's disturbing about this? I think he's pretty creative. Plus we don't have "KIDS" doing this, and we certainly don't have evidence about the state of "today's youth" on display here, we have one kid. Good Christ, you sound like Fox News.

 

[X123Lewis123X]

Wow, that kid has a lot of free time, and spare stuff. I personally think, aslong as he aint hurting anyone, its fine, but still, that kid is pretty good at that!

 

[Baneat]

The first thing was pretty clever, actually, and the spiderwick made me laugh

 

[UnmotivatedSlacker]

Why are you assuming he's not a kinda person just because he likes to build crap? For all you know he has no intention in ever using them and just does it as a hobby.

 

[DuplicateValue]

Damn kids, get off my lawn, etc... *rolls eyes*

 

[DefunctTheory]

Kid got bored. Kid made things that throw other things.

This is how scientist and engineers are born.

 

[nunqual]

Young whippersnappers! Get off my lawn!

OT: One kid does not reflect the behaviour of 'today's youth.' I used to make weapons like that. I brought a cup of gasoline to school once, me and my friend were going to make a pipe bomb after school at my house. Now, this was in 5th grade, before I knew what kind of shit that could've gotten me into. The kid will grow out of it.

 

[Blueruler182]

Seriously? You're saying that you've never looked at a sword and wanted one? I know a lot of adults who like to keep weapons around the house, so what if a kid tries to make a few. It's creative! I have a few weapons around my place (including a Batarang, furk yes), but I can't honestly say I've made any. Not until I finish the Wolverine claws anyways.

Besides, if he really wanted to murder people, the knives in the kitchen would work just fine. Again, creativity!

Honestly! The youth of today. And the day before that. And the day before that. And before that..

 

[Jedamethis]

Hey, that kid is awesome! If anything, he should be giving you hope for my generation!
Wait, I am suddenly confused which generation I am am. >.<

MacGyver has a son?!

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Oh please. "Kids today" are no different than any other time period. There's a couple winners, a lot of average people, and a sizable portion of losers and delinquents.
