My generation is f**ked

[Lambsbread]

So I'm currently sitting in my High School Journalism class, and we began the class by watching CNN Student News. Naturally, there was coverage of the crisis in Syria. This, of course, drew little discussion other than scattered kids saying "who cares, it's not America, so who cares?" to which I scoffed. Then, when we began to discuss the presidential elections, a girl said "I am so sick of hearing about politics, who cares? I do not care who the President of the country is." But then, when we began to discuss Chris Brown and Rihanna collaborating, an uproar arose, with plenty of screaming and yelling and fighting over whether or not this was justified.

I am seriously concerned for the future of this country. This is a normal thing.

Your thoughts?

I mean, I knew that my generation doesn't care about politics, but really? Like, Syria's a different story. People are actually getting killed for Christ's sake. Good people, people who want freedom. But Chris Brown smacks Rihanna and that's worth discussing?

“You think about this. When you get old, these kids — when I get old — they’re gonna be running the country. Now this is the thought that wakes me up in the middle of the night: that when I get older, these kids are gonna take care of me.”

“I wouldn’t count on it.”

Also do not take journalism classes. The boys in those classes are assholes and the girls are all whores. That is why American journalism is what it is today.

The accuracy of this statement as pertaining to my class is uncanny.

Think your generation is f**ked?
Think again.

Oh good God.
