Most of the younger kids I run into have the following problems:

-Laziness
-I don't care attitude
-Expect to just get a check instead of  earn one
-Thinks they are superior to those older then them
-Have no respect for elders.

In my experience the kids coming out of highschool are sorry. They don't want to work and when they do they just want to cut corners so they can get a paycheck they've barely earned. The reason is because their parents gave them to much growing up.

Who wants to work?  Who doesn't want to get a paycheck without not working hard?  Sheesh.

And I could respond with that
1) You don't understand us.
2) Older people believe we're all horrid troublemakers.
3) It's called teenage angst.

All my points are proven with his post. BTW I am 25.

Your complaints about the younger generation sound like the complaints of every older generation about the next one.. world for word.  Older people always resent the young.. and probably vice versa.

No I experienced it first hand at my place of work. All the 18-19 year olds aren't worth a d*mn. Young people like myself from 25 on up are the hardest workers around.

By the time we get older this will be what the map looks like




This nation can not go on divided like that for more then 20 years. Something will break. I just don't know what.

The next Reagan who fills the map all red or all blue.

Their is no candidate or politician currently holding office who can do that. Maybe Arnold, but he is obviously out.

If this happened on a regular basis my guess would be that the Democratic Party would collapse and a new party would take their place(would hope it would be the Libertarians Smiley).


The Democratic party is currently in trouble unless they get back to their more blue collar roots. And I know I will catch grief for it but it's true.

I remember, No cable, never had a computer, had an Atari game system. The only thing close to a computer we had was a keyboard that you plugged into your t.v. I remember a mechanical antenna we had on our roof.

I also remember watching the Challenger blow up, live on TV.

Every generation believes this of those who follow them, and yet there never seems to be any generation of total degenerates once they grow up.

The 60s generation comes very close to it. Those like Kerry and his ilk. I think this current MTV generation will be a death blow to the US as we know it.

My guess, Senator, is that you are part of the "Grubber" (WWII)Generation, and a current retiree, living in Florida, since you seem to think that everyone should "respect their elders".

Sorry, but this is just a ROFLOLMAO statement... he's 25 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy


Yes, no one in Florida is under 50 years of age.
