I see morons of all ages do this almost daily. Then there's the younger teenagers who sit on Face Time for long periods of time and actually speak very very little. Just listen to background noise from the other side. Staring at your phone while at a live concert Yes, all of those things are retarded.. Won’t fight you there, but if that is the metric of this generation being fucked, we doing ok haha... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This generation can run circles around any other in history with what they know and understand at their CURRENT age compared to where you were at that CURRENT age. They are still young. Haven’t matured. It’s called growing up. But apples for apples they are smarter and more informed.

old indy Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) LOL not hardly. And this generation is LOST they cant run circles around shit if they cant look it up first. no question we change over time, but kids today are losing skills and simple ones at that at an alarming rate. there is less hands on" to most everything they do, or dont do.. if they have to get dirty for one. i look at how whimpy most kids are today. i was at my old high school not long ago and couldnt get over the low numbers in sports. i didnt see one student that stood out as a rugged individule. its a vocational school covering twelve towns so its not confined to one. i would gladly debate this further but i have to go get violated @ the hospital Edited January 14, 2019 by old indy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry "bun boy" but most important real world technical problems can't be solved with Google. But the modern tech does give us real time info. Coming out of most schools, kids are still pretty green, the main difference today is they clearly know what they are learning is pretty much a waste.

I wonder what your thoughts are on the full frontal assault against Trump in much of the media right now? Can you put that in context? Do you disagree with it? I understand that many generations look to the younger generations and see weakness and ignorance. I’m not doing that even though I often feel that way I don’t think I’ve ever seen a younger generation write off the older generation as if they are less informed, have less critical thinking skills, have less life experience or are somehow inferior to their own generation. But that seems to be the bullshit that you are trying to perpetuate. Arrogance and ignorance doesn’t even begin to describe it. I am the parent of two successful young millennial’s, thank God they don’t have your attitude. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irony. I don’t know about you guys, but I can multitask. They are also the people who eat up staged digital narratives and are hyper partisans... Again, irony... Hate to break it to you but kids may use their phones a lot, yet that isn’t somehow making them incapable of social interaction in person. Funny how every generation since the beginning of time thinks the following generation is somehow fucking up.

You live in a little partisan bubble and view everything through that prism and just the fact you made that comment about arrogance reinforces what I said.
