...all of the things wrong with kids today (not their fault) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4U], and you're worried about some creative, homemade toys made out of office supplies?
Seriously, none of his "weapons" are even as lethal as a BB gun.

No... no he wouldn't. Any idiot can make a shiv out of a toothbrush, and that's pretty much the most effective weapon one can make in prison.

How old are you first?

Becuase if so then I may view you as the youth, in which case you'd probably be offended to be included in the same category.

Every older generation hates the things that the younger one likes and does, it's the way of life. What we really need is the for the older generation to stop moaning about it, because the more you moan, the more the 'youth of today' will continue to do the things you moan about.

You rebelled against your elders, even if you didn't realise you were (or are) and your children will rebel against their elders.

If he was of a different age, what would you call him? I think he's pretty great and creative.

uhmm....am I bad for making those exact same things with my fiends when I was 10.
The only things we hurt with those things were each other, while wearing our makeshift armour.

It was AWESOME, thank you.

Whatever, just wash your hands.
considering how easy it is to get a gun nowadays Im surprised that kids show enough ingenuity to create their own weapons, that are of mischief value only

My uncle made a longbow when he was a kid, and fired it at his brother for fun, and he's fine. Boys like weapons. Always have.

may i point you in the direction of the youth weapon of old, slingshots and stones. All this says is that the youth is getting more creative.

And then theres the fact hes done nothing with them, to the best of you knowledge.

Well at least this kid can have a solid career in the weapons development industry.

I don't know if any other 92's have he same feeling...

But i feel that right after 93' people were different.
When i was 15 -16 we had a normal and healthy lifestyle, but when i got to 18 the 15 - 16 year olds were much different.
It was such an sudden change.

I'm not "old" in that sense, i drink and party just as much as the next guy.
But i feel that "they" are so much more extreme.
Well I'm a 91', and i personally feel that you 92's are a deranged and sadistic bunch. Nah, I kid

That is some skillful engineering. The single peg that shoots toothpicks, I could not even understand how it works, but it does.
It would be far more lethal to throw a rock at someone than use these, they are terrible as weapons for anything other than target practice. This kid would make a great engineer.

I can remember making a Elastic band rifle out of a piece of wood and a peg, and depending on how many elastic bands you loaded it with, it could punch through up to an inch of polystyrene, but it was impossible to aim past 8 meters.

I think the youth of today is growing up too fast is a real issue.

This is fucking awesome! I'm sorry, but that kid is really creative and innovative - the pin gun is awesome, I want one!

I have problems with todays youth, but this kid is just creative. Bad example.
However, most of todays youth are spoiled disrespectful brats who backsass any authority and complain constantly when they don't get their way. I was pretty spoiled I guess, but I was taught very good manners. However, there may be another part of it: role models. I did play Quake 3 with my dad when I was little, but he very thouroughly taught me that this was a video game and how awful this would be in real life. My role models were pretty much the Power Rangers (Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, not that new crap that nobody likes), Rescue Heroes (lol, I was porbably one of the few people that liked that show), and G.I. Joe. Were these show particularly well written? No. Were the special effects or animation quiality very good? No. Did it generally attempt to teach good morals? Yep. Todays role models consist of sassy teens like Hannah Montanna who only complain because they can't have more and completely ignore everything their parents say. Role models like Katy Perry, whose album artwork consists of her naked, censored only by suggestive white clouds, or Lady Gaga (well, my little sister loves her) who dress in straps, skin tight outfits of various obscure materials, or yes, just bubbles (or Yog Sothoth). It may also be the parents who were taught good morals and manners the hard way as a child, so they won't punish their children for bad behavior.
It's sad because we can't do too much about it except raise our children better and hope they'll do the same.

That stuff he made is just a bunch of junk, how can he even called them homemade "weapons"?
All it is is a bunch of crap that wouldn't even be able to kill someone. He can barely shoot sharpened wood into a clay square and he can take a rectangle out of an aluminum can...ooooo, how dangerous. When I was a kid, I had sniper points mapped out in my schoolyard. I knew where I was hidden and from where I could see others. I had homemade knives made out of rocks hidden in our field. I was more dangerous than that kid, and I can't even bring myself to emotionally hurt someone....I'm not a psychopath! Just prepared.

ITT: Old person complaining about kids doing what he did before he was an old person.

Also, who would have thought up all those weird ideas for weapons? Tony Stark, age 12?

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.
Go to a local middle school and count how many times you hear the word "Gay"

Then you see why.

I think youth today is both getting:
Even more Stupid
Forgetful
You obviously don't realize that the over all intelligence of today's youth is actually rising.
I also have to be around douchebags all day, they hardly ever use the word gay.

86 here... and to be fair, when I see your generation I see slackers... :p

No matter how you see it, when you remember things from your youth, it's with your current level of maturity... truth is... you were as bad as what you see. Nobody was "mature" as a kid, period!

However, some do get stuck as children until they hit their 30s... but we need those people to pump gas and bag groceries! ;)

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
This guy blows the toy guns that my brother and I made in 5th grade right out of the water.

So how is this bad, again?
