Who else is disguisted by children nowadays?

[Inverse Skies]

What do you mean SLIGHT? Every generation has cooler stuff than the last generation, we've never gone backwards with a generation.

People always think the next generation will be worse because of how immature and spoiled they think they are (and of course their generation or their fathers generation NEVER engaged in stuff their parents would disapprove of or consider immature).

Reminds me of something from Mad's dictionary of cliche parental terms

Immature - How you're behaving whenever you're acting normal for your age.

and this was from the early 80s.

If you've read my other posts on this thread the whole time I have been explaining how the process is cyclical and there is nothing to worry about.

which one was the quote? and yes children today are spoiled. it is possible that they fucked up the economy. think for a second, kid wants useless phone to call 1 person when the home phone is readily available, they wine wineX8 then get some 100$ phone, BUT the parents couldn't afford the phone so they took out a loan, couldn't pay back loan, take out more and more for more useless shit, debt rises. economy cgets fucked up

I highly doubt the US found itself in something like 80 billion dollars worth of toxic bank dets through children and mobile phones, that is a very large leap of logic.

Hmm, maybe not the Economic Crisis, but I know that kids today are definitely the cause of the problems in Zimbabwe, and to a greater extent, any ethnic cleansing or sectarian violence in Africa and the Greater Middle East. Hell, I bet Mugabe is just a puppet leader for a shadowy cabal of whiny 7 year olds.

Kids today are just out of hand. Why only yesterday I was mugged by a toddler armed with a sawn-off shotgun. Its really getting out of hand, and someone should do something about it blah blah blah blah.

Also, they won't get off my lawn.

would be funny if it was true

It would be highly amusing... then we would have something to blame the next generation with. But seeing as it's highly unlikely, I'll go back to my original theory in that everything is cyclical.

Why can't anyone realize that 'the next generation will unravel society' has been prophesied over and over? It's like the end of the world theories, there have been so many theories that have been wrong all the time (Y2K for instance) and yet the next one is always taken seriously (like 2012).

Oh and show of hands anyone here have any actual evidence that this generation is more bratty than the previous generation or has more idiots (anecdotal evidence does not qualify)? ...

No no one ever does and yet a portion of the population continue to believe it every single time, probably because they like to look back at their own generation with rosy tinted glasses (nostalgia does that to you) and not realize all the stupid shit they were into or all the spoiled brats in those generations.

... Pokemon?

I liked and still like the games, but the TV show was bloody awful I'm ashamed I used to like it. But I remember that stuff being all over the place. Young kids seem to be easily impressed.

Card deals in the back yard at night.
Gameshark hacks to get all the good Pokemon and brag.
Everyone having the (in)famous hat on Ash's head.

Yup, we're douche bags.

Lol, glad to see you're taking this thread very seriously

I think it seems worse off too but I also think that once these bratty kids get older a lot of them will wise up and be more mature it's all ready happened to a kid I know (and he used to be so spoiled). True they'll be kids who will be hooked on sex or drugs for a long time but that always happens.

I know they'll get over it. Real life has a habit of doing that to most. I just wish it'd hurry up with it.

Seeing all the potential for greatness the human race has being squandered on being as trashy/wasteful as possible really bums me out.

 

[Inverse Skies]

Did you not detect any sarcasm in my post. I know the whole thing is cyclical, the younger generation makes a great target because they're bound to be immature (and do shocking stuff) when they're teens and the generation gap.

I thought your post was a bit funny because we're actually arguing the same point here. I must have missed the sarcasm in it, oh well. Doesn't matter.

My lord! This man is on to something!

Did you know that 100% of all the evil people in the world were once children?

We must maturize these little demons immedietly, lest they destroy all the good the past generation has created!

 

[US Crash Fire]

im gonna raise my kids the way my dad raised me. i know that it might mean that my kids hate me for it but i will teach them to be upstanding moral members of society, and if they want something they will have to earn it! and that the world doesnt owe them a god damned thing. you want a xbox game? help me with the yard (age pending). you want to get a car? you better want a job too!(age pending). you want a phone? ok here my old nokia 3310. it makes phone calls. oh what your mad cause its not cool? dont give your kids what they want because they cry! that teaches them all they have to do is cry and they get thier way!

I'm taking this thread deadly seriously. Children between the ages of 3 and 18 are the biggest threat we of the free-world face these days, and are probably the biggest threat ever in the existence of Planet Earth. It is imperative that we treat the situation with the proper gravity it deserves, because we won't get a second chance.

Mark my words, these children are ruthless and will be the end of us all if we don't take action soon enough.

I recommend you start by moving any loved ones or valuables to a safe underground bunker, and for gods sake do not even consider the fact that 'the younger generation' has always acted out. Thats what they want you to think.

To everyone who reads this message, I pray that I live to see the sunrise tomorrow, before we are all crushed under the size-6 heel of childish oppression.

With utter solemnity, I suggest you all do the same.

EDIT:

Delicious has a very valid point, in fact Adolf Hitler himself (Godwin's if it hasn't already been called) was once a child.

Coincidence...?

I think not.

 

[Agayek]

I think there will always be people being trashy or wasteful whether teens or not (and that teens will make up a larger %), and there will always be teens. Sorry about that.

If you want them off your lawn I can help you install a sprinkler (joking).

Very true.

I guess the solution is to end the human race. Hopefully nature won't fuck up next go 'round.

In culture nowadays, children younger and younger are wearing more 'adult' clothes *cough*slutty*cough* (tank tops, mini-mini-skirts, expencive looking jewlery, push up bra's etc.) they are getting everything they want faster (I'm only 21... Me and all my friends had to wait untill 16 or so before we got a mobile phone. I saw a 7 year old crying to their mum to get them their SECOND mobile and while car shopping) and the expectation of people seems to be that children will grow up at their own rate, that because the parents etc. are getting older, they are thinking "oh they are just growing up VERY fast!"

NO. They arn't 'just growing up very fast', they are seeing that all of that sort of thing is kool and awesome, and they want it and don't want to wait. With the lack of boundries set up they GET it.


Now, as they are growing up faster... that must mean their schooling is improving, and as such that generation is going to be SUPER smart and stuff.

once again... NO.
I know, I'm only 21, I'm not old enough to complain about these young'ens yet. But they are REALLY begging for it. I have a friend, 17, doing VCE this year (year 12, the final year of schooling to say "I passed school/highschool" in Victoria.) She is currently doing work I did in year 8. Luckily, she is smart enough to know that she is smarter then that and is disguisted by the stupidity of her class mates aswell (including her teachers) but my point about this paragraph... Children are being taught at a slower rate then previously. They have no expectations of them and are just being idiots.

Bah anyway, my point about all of this crap is to ask a simple question.
Are you disapointed in the way that children are being brought up nowadays?
If you had a child, do you think you would bring them up like all the other parents are doing latley? (as an honest question to yourself, because you don't PLAN to let your kids grow up like that) Or would you go along with children being a secondary if nor 5th level priority in your life throwing money at them to keep them silent and hope that tv/video games/movies/music etc. can do a good enough job?


*wants to add more, like an analogy to parents being pissed off with all of those forms of media in a manner similar to a rich person being angry at a nanny who is doing a poor job... but has already written too much*

I often wish that the earths electric just shut down to see how many of us humans could actually survive for about half a year.

I can actually survive without the things most people take for granted. Like making outdoor shelters, getting clean water, food, and heat.

 

[blankedboy]

I'm 13, and the 7-11 year olds in my community are dispicable and embarrasing. They walk around smoking, getting f*cked, taking drugs and using PS3s.

Now if only we can go back in time and figure out how the dinosaurs did it.

Now that one is easy. All you gotta do is hire a biochemist to design a new additive to fossil fuels. Except instead it's actually a bio-weapon. Some form of the ebola virus would probably be best. If we were really creative, we could even some form of the T-virus, only airborne. If it's done right, we'd be able to easily shrink the human population to an unsustainable level.
