When we were kids, the vice principal shot that many kids every day, just because they were chewing gum in class, and we didn't complain. |

When I was a kid, we listened to Alice Cooper and Black Sabbath. Our parents freaked out. Where did our kids go from there to step it up a notch? Marilyn Manson. We got funny haircuts during the punk rock era. The new generation is moving to tattoos, stretched earlobes, and other body modifications. I try to discourage kids from doing permanent things to their bodies by showing them pictures of what I looked when I was their age... and telling them it was really cool at the time. |

You guys are getting caught into a typical media trap.
I bet there were like 5 idiots who did this and posted it on Instagram. The media frames it as if everybody, making headlines like "kids are now snorting condoms." This is fake news at its finest. |

Kids have alway been little dumb asses doing what little dumb asses do. And I 100% agree that with the advent of the internet and the 24-7 "news" cycle, we now just hear about it much more often and more quickly. I have 30~ish 21 to 30 year olds working for me. Yes, they are often a little entitled right out of the shoot but they are coachable and they are F'ing smart. They are also willing to put in 120% to get what they want. There's hope for the world, IMO. |

https://statesmanonline.org/2016/11/...-and-coloring/ http://cornellsun.com/2016/11/10/pro...ction-results/ Many professors canceled classes and examinations scheduled for Wednesday. A Wharton management professor claimed to “have heard from an unusual number of students this morning that they are unwell” and therefore offered a makeup date for the scheduled midterm. Other professors decided to postpone tests entirely. One Spanish teacher wrote in an email to her class that “the generally unexpected election results are likely to interfere or to have interfered with concentration.” Other outlets for coping were offered to students as well. Some professors turned Wednesday’s classes into “safe spaces” in which students could freely express their concerns for their futures. "One of the dorms on campus even set up a “breathing space” the night after election day. Cats, a puppy, coloring pages, and snacks were offered to help students “decompress in a low-key and low-stress environment.” Yeah - let's just cancel tests and coddle the kiddos cause they didn't get what they wanted... poor babies.

The internet and social media makes things more prevalent than they really are. Kids have done dumb stuff since the beginning of time, and they are to be ignored now just as they were then.

Exactly. No thought put into his words other than "what I want" and "screw everyone else." Seems to be an epidemic these days.

That's it exactly. I suppose their mother isn't totally innocent in all of this. She has been the one to coddle them versus "rubbing some dirt on it" and getting back in the game. Parents try WAY too hard to be friends with their children rather than being a parent. If you give your kids everything instead of teaching them how to get it for themselves, your'e only teaching them to be dependent, creating issues for someone else to clean up.......after your children can no longer be cash cows for you.
I might be jaded. I'll agree with the fact that hope is not lost. I do know kids that are very motivated, intelligent and actually have social skills; problem is that I don't see very many of them. I also agree that the interwebs and the communication era give things such as this higher visibility. As a fan, makes me wonder how much of this Daniel Tosh has created. Social media pranks/hi-jinks will be around as long as there are young people and the internet, but those skinny jean people.....line crossers they are. Skinny jeans aren't a prank anyone should play. Last edited by King Rudi; 04-03-2018 at 02:20 PM.. |

I don't see what the big deal on all this is. If the eating tide pods and snorting condoms kill a few, it strengthens the gene pool and helps weed out some of that over population thing we got going on. I'm good with this.
I keep saying, opioids shouldn't be illegal...the narcan that saves their lives time after time should be. Time to let he idiots start killing themselves off...Media needs to quit intervening. |

You can even see it here on a BMW forum where people clearly have to be reasonably educated and successful to own such cars....yet even they believe the lies. People just don't seem to have a b*llshit detector. |
