it's due to our politics and elites, wether they re stars, industrials or journalists. The dumber people are the easier it is to control em.
All of the occidental elites have read some psychology books and know how to control the masses.
Nowadays every average joe thinks he 's brock lesnar, a soap opera's or reality show's actor and view the whole world surounding him based on what he saw on tv last night. Everyone wants to look like his favorite TV character. TV dictates people how to act and their place in society. TV is the new religion and the new gods are fictionnal characters. The scenarii are controlled if not written by those who control the whole thing; our elites.
TV rules the nations, politics industrials and journalists control TV.
Multiculturalism which is the main global project of our elites is aimed at mixing every average joes from everywhere in the world in a unique global mixed average joe society in order to lower wages everywhere and make more money.
In the meanqhile, sons and daughters of the elites are well educated and protected in private areas and are taught they ll follow their parents steps.
As ugly as it sounds, it's always been the same.

which was introduced wilingly by our elites...see my post above.
our elites are the ones who widely opened our borders in occident to floods of third worlds immigrant not willing to assimilate but who re-created their own communities in our nations and were ready to work for nothing. Our elites were satisfied both ways.
Our elites know what's going on, yet dont do anything against it ...weird isnt it ? and they even promote it even more with PC multiculturalism 24/7 in all avaialable medias. If you didnt figure they want it badly you're dumb.
That's the plan. Mixing Everyone in one unique global race . Quid bono? who benefits from this plan? think about it.
It's forbidden to say what you think about this organized plan , you re usually immediately labeled as a nazi and boom , you re out of game. There s nothing you can do about it. Like it or not, it's not going to change anything or preventing it from hapening.

Yeah!! And look at what's happening!! It's a fuckin' disaster!!
I think we're in serious trouble!!

Amen Sir Bigness!
The new kids have it all served on a silverplate!
They are so stupid, they hardly can spell their own goddamn name correctly.
Everything is about them and their will - the arrogance & egocentrism is beyond belief.
The "oldtimers" were maybe stupid but still far more educated and didn't even take dogshit on the street for granted.
I see this "generation nothingness"-kids every-fuccking-day and they surprise me everytime..
I can't hardly count how many of these bastards I have beaten up at the club I work at..
They are the end of the world.... sadly.

you always have the choice to get out of it all and go away, look at these people who live in the country ... wether they left for it or have always been there... cities are hell on earth, they are plants that product mad people.
It's also up to you to raise your own children smartly and away from all of this.

they ll get their asses handled to them by the sons of the third world immigrants... Everything makes sens. The occidental world as we knew it is at the end of the road, this is obvious.
And our elites dont give a fuck about it, cause they re not concerned living 24/7 in their private properties being driven by "chauffeurs".
They just follow the mainstream and try to make as much money out of it as they can while bullshiting people with less education and power than them.
It's always the dumbass at the bottom or in the middle of the pyramid that takes it all deep in the ass.
As i said it, same old story...

No they're not. They've always been that way and present in those numbers - the internet has just helped expose their presence and way of life to people in a way it could never be seen before. Of course, their idea of looking and acting cool has changed with time and is at an all time low at present, IMO.
But they never effect anything major in terms of advancements or even trends - it's always a handful of people who are thinkers / innovators / movers & shakers who do. The masses just take / choose whatever is offered to them or available.

There's lots of Europeans posting here, what do think of this mess??

exactly. The only noticeable difference is that now the whole world will be one kind of "super" country. This is where we're heading. Maybe on or two big wars before, but it's not even sure. People can be controlled thur TV and material goods nowadays.

Don't defend this crap!! You're only fueling the fire!! Yeah, all the kids are going to be MMA fighters or WWE wrestlers, etc!! Again...a Fuckin' Mess!!

Same as it ever was.
Only difference is the media has made everyone more aware of things.
60 years ago if a nignog raped a girl in Alabama, you didn't know about unless you lived in Alabama.

I left france for canada. If things might seem different somehow here, they re also the same. All i got was an increased quality of life, but dumb people in france/europe have their twins here in canada and in the US. On a side note north american are way more open minded than europeans , but they re all buying into their elites plan nonetheless as do the europeans with their own european elites.
The real major "change" is that the occidental world opened his doors wide open and that our elites decided to mix us all into a new race. But all in all everything is just working as it always did despite this new trend.
Now the white average joe will have to deal with the black, indian, arab average joe who came here thanks to our elites to lower the wages.
Looks like the black arab or indian immigrant has more balls than the white guy who was neutered since his birth by what he and his parents saw on TV 24/7.
Whitey not going to understand what will hit him, but anyway, WHO CARES? not his own "elites" considering they orchestrated the whole thing.
This is globalization 101 here.

OMFG!! We're fucked then!! So, I guess we're in for a Homer Simpson mated with Homer Simpson Global Disaster apon us??
-
Much has changed - of course some of you have point..media etc.
I am from Europe and I live in a city which is considered being a "university city" in my country..
I see these so called "academic/smart" people everyday but they can't deliver..
They have never struggled to get what they have in life, they don't know what hard work even means.
As someone here said: "They are empty inside". Just a pathetic fasad is what they are.
But there is of course no rule without an exception - the "exceptions" are very rare nowdays if you compare to the standards of maybe 5-10 years ago..
Their parents don't even give a shit, maybe that's the problem - If I didn't deliver my parents punished me really hard.
"Generation Nothingness" has also reached Europe... it makes me sad - very sad.
-
Unfortunately, all of Generation Nothingness, don't see it!! There all pampered!! Mommy & Daddy are going to take care of them forever!?!?!?

jesus, spot on, i was going to say the same thing. good thing you're a better wordsmith.
now if you'll excuse me, i'll go play guitar hero.
-
everything's fine.
i heard somewhere (i don't read, that's for faggies) that the amount of "knowledge" humanity is gathering is doubling every 6 months or so, thanks to all the huge advances in technology and medicine.
i'll play the devil's advocate and say humans are smarter than ever.

some humans,but fewer. Most and more, like you, are getting insanely dumber.
You cant expect the masses to get smarter when you feed em more and more with the lowest quality crap ever.

I'm not defending anything. All I'm saying is that it doesn't matter if the majority of the individuals of Generation nothingness resemble the people in Idiocracy or are hippies or environmentalist, they don't do anything other than choose to consume what is created by a handful of people at the very top of the intelligence scale. Such is the way things have always been.
If anything, the smart people at the top who do all the creating are getting smarter and increasing in numbers, because they have access to more knowledge than anyone has ever had before the explosion of the internet, not to mention being able to do things like co-ordinate with others geographically far apart and have access to technology that is very advanced.
-
So are you part of the masses or a mover and a shaker?
Being one doesn't mean you can't be the other. I myself am a freak though - I never fit in anywhere.
-

You can't be a sheep and a wolf at the same time. And are you saying you're socially maladjusted or that you're part mover and shaker (in your own way) and part "mass"?
-
Same as it ever was.
good call
-
yawn, the same has been said about every generation. I doubt the world will end because some nerd eats Lucky Charms and plays x-box all day.

It's not about being a sheep and a wolf, either / or kind of situation. Any "average" person can make a discovery or a change or create an invention that changes things. And innovators and scientists and others are all part of the population too, which is why it's not a mutually exclusive scenario.
And with me, I meant the latter.
-
Obviously, everyone on here knows the internet and what it's capable of!! Look at all the teen sex shit that's exploited!! I'm afraid to type something in Goggle!! Who knows what's going to up...and has!! It's all kids!! These kids have no idea what there doing. Once these pics and videos of sex and Blow Jobs, etc, are on the internet, they're on here forever!! Even if they do straighten up, they will always be there for all to see!! They don't get it!! It's all a game to them now, but...
Solution...I think we're all fucked!! OUT OF CONTROL!!

The world is more advanced than ever before in terms of medicine, technology, and science and innovations are made every day.Take your alarmist and condescending attitude and go fuck yourself. You're not "in the know", you're a middle management twerp or a know it all college kid in all likelihood who is no better than "generation nothingness."

it's due to our politics and elites, wether they re stars, industrials or journalists. The dumber people are the easier it is to control em.
All of the occidental elites have read some psychology books and know how to control the masses.
Nowadays every average joe thinks he 's brock lesnar, a soap opera's or reality show's actor and view the whole world surounding him based on what he saw on tv last night. Everyone wants to look like his favorite TV character. TV dictates people how to act and their place in society. TV is the new religion and the new gods are fictionnal characters. The scenarii are controlled if not written by those who control the whole thing; our elites.
TV rules the nations, politics industrials and journalists control TV.
Multiculturalism which is the main global project of our elites is aimed at mixing every average joes from everywhere in the world in a unique global mixed average joe society in order to lower wages everywhere and make more money.
In the meanqhile, sons and daughters of the elites are well educated and protected in private areas and are taught they ll follow their parents steps.
As ugly as it sounds, it's always been the same.
very intelligent post.............watch, a hundred years from now, if we all survive that long................the aristocrasy and the proliteriate are going to start to break off into what can only be described as "different species"............with all the plastic surgery the rich have available to them, the life extension that will soon come to pass, wealthy people soo will even be able to determine the sex and intelligence and talents of their child while in the womb by means of gene splicing.
eventually the lower rungs of every race will mix into a grey worker class..........and we will be governed by a powerful, genetically near-perfect elite, thus our places in life will be entrenched and there will be an end to social mobility..............be csuse by then, the super -rich will literally becoem a new race

Suburban kids love rap to be perceived as hard. Or hard=dumb.
The sad thing here is, it's been on the top of the charts for about 10 years now.
Appeal to suburban kids, you'll sell records. The ghetto makes up for probalby 15% of record sales.
Point is, nothing. :D

Don't be so "hostile" a la GetBig folks!
It's just an interesting debate!
We can sit here all day long and blame this and that (like me), I just hope things will go in the right direction, which they aren't.
Many good points in this thread - time will be the judge if we "old girls" were right or not!
I personally punish those whom try their "Generation Failness"-attitude towards me.
As I said - there is "exceptions" and they are even friends of mine despite their age.
I'm glad that I've even managed to open the eyes of some of these "kids"...
"Time will be the judge"...
Have a good night y'all!

Rumor has it there is a plan in place to exterminate billions of humans on earth and end up with about 500,000,000 total in the near future...Its also rumored that they are putting the final touches on how to deal with the aftermath at this place here...

People filter what they want, the majorit wants quantity, a minority quality. As Kiwiol said, there's always an ambitious and intelligent corps in every generation, and there's always been a significantly larger body of followers.
-
There has been some interesting feed back on this topic. But, the bottom line is, Gen. Nothingness is here and things are changing at a very rapid pace (not for the better). I think faster than at any other time in history. It's all about the Quick Buck!! Quick Fuck!! No work attitude!! It is a disgracefully mess!!

Patience is no virtue
Patience is not so much a virtue as it is a reward that comes to those in balance. Do not try to "be" patient, or to practice patience, or try to emulate those who are patient. It isn't a habit, or something to be learned for its own sake. Patience is no virtue; patience is a reward.
Patience is a state of balance that rises simply out of understanding; the unexpected gift experienced after a confluence of a sense of time, of struggle, of perspective, of judgment, of harnessing the mind.
Patience is not impossible in today's world, but it is not the norm for our time.
Lessons from long ago
Generations before us, grandparents were part of nearly every household. No longer able to work in the fields, they cared for the children around the house. Short of schooling, it was the grandparents relating recollections of their times that brought home to children that their own place in time was no different than, but offset from, that of their grandparents. As grandparents became more independent, that charge disappeared; so did the valuable lessons for children that put time into context.
Grandparents combined symbols of time, and the tool to teach it. Equally good symbols exist today, but the tools to teach it sit idle. For example, people need only sight down a strip of film, frame by frame, from the past, through the present, to the future, to demonstrate the point. Motion pictures encapsule the passage of time, but people remain mostly unconsciousness to it. In schools, history speaks of the past, but not of time or our place in it: Name the date of Paul Revere's ride; Give the seven reasons for the start of World War I.
Teachers seldom say, "Aren't you grateful to Thomas Edison for inventing the light bulb more than 100 years ago?" and then follow upon it asking students, "In another 100 years, what will people be grateful to you for?" That challenge helps to fix a sense of time, and your place in it.
A sense of time and one's place in it
Patience honors the passage of time. It honors the appreciation that, whatever is done during life, as close as you are to jumping into bed tonight and turning off the light, you will someday be just that close to your own death. It honors the sense that life is a string of todays; that to forget to relish each one, whatever it brings, is a missed opportunity to laugh, to love, to feel, to live. It honors that, as difficult as today may be, it is only one waypoint of the full complement the waypoints we are given to live.
Patience honors the struggle to live each day. That alone is what we are obliged to do: Live each day... and to manufacture from it for ourselves what joy we can find. That joy is easier when we resign ourselves to live each day for its own reward. When we have found that balance. Then comes the time for judgment. The world is open to us, unencumbered by what perviously we took to be important.
Harnessing the mind
Patience honors quieting the complexity of the mind, which otherwise is forever looping back on itself. Quieting the mind is a process of meditation that requires only the habit of recognizing what one is thinking about and then resolving, for a time, to put that thought aside -- a process repeated until calm rewards us.
Consider, also, that boredom is not the opposite of patience. Opposite boredom is engagement. Patience sets the environment where one can clearly decide how to be engaged; even to decide not to be patient. It lays a sound foundation from which to thoughtfully arrive at how to act.
Patience is its own reward
So sensible people don't practice patience as a virtue. They work to understand the sense of time, the struggle, the perspective, and the judgment. What results is patience. Patience is practice. Patience is the reward. Furthermore, patience is its own reward.

As grandparents became more independent, that charge disappeared; so did the valuable lessons for children that put time into context.
Grandparents combined symbols of time, and the tool to teach it. Equally good symbols exist today, but the tools to teach it sit idle. For example, people need only sight down a strip of film, frame by frame, from the past, through the present, to the future, to demonstrate the point. Motion pictures encapsule the passage of time, but people remain mostly unconsciousness to it. In schools, history speaks of the past, but not of time or our place in it: Name the date of Paul Revere's ride; Give the seven reasons for the start of World War I.
Teachers seldom say, "Aren't you grateful to Thomas Edison for inventing the light bulb more than 100 years ago?" and then follow upon it asking students, "In another 100 years, what will people be grateful to you for?" That challenge helps to fix a sense of time, and your place in it.
A sense of time and one's place in it
Patience honors the passage of time. It honors the appreciation that, whatever is done during life, as close as you are to jumping into bed tonight and turning off the light, you will someday be just that close to your own death. It honors the sense that life is a string of todays; that to forget to relish each one, whatever it brings, is a missed opportunity to laugh, to love, to feel, to live. It honors that, as difficult as today may be, it is only one waypoint of the full complement the waypoints we are given to live.
Patience honors the struggle to live each day. That alone is what we are obliged to do: Live each day... and to manufacture from it for ourselves what joy we can find. That joy is easier when we resign ourselves to live each day for its own reward. When we have found that balance. Then comes the time for judgment. The world is open to us, unencumbered by what perviously we took to be important.
Harnessing the mind
Patience honors quieting the complexity of the mind, which otherwise is forever looping back on itself. Quieting the mind is a process of meditation that requires only the habit of recognizing what one is thinking about and then resolving, for a time, to put that thought aside -- a process repeated until calm rewards us.
Consider, also, that boredom is not the opposite of patience. Opposite boredom is engagement. Patience sets the environment where one can clearly decide how to be engaged; even to decide not to be patient. It lays a sound foundation from which to thoughtfully arrive at how to act.
Patience is its own reward
So sensible people don't practice patience as a virtue. They work to understand the sense of time, the struggle, the perspective, and the judgment. What results is patience. Patience is practice. Patience is the reward. Furthermore, patience is its own reward.

Fuck everyone and do what you have to do.
if people want to be screw ups let em.
Make sure you take care of business
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

I understand what you're say but, should we keep ignoring this crap?? I don't know about you or anyone else but, I'm constantly surrounded in idiots!! Driving, (of coarse, mommy & daddy bought them the car) in restaurants. (spitting in your food. And recording it and posting it on Youtube) Shit like that!! Did this shit happen before...probably but, I think it's a lot more prevalent now!!

I asked a girl at work who Saddam Hussein was. This girl is 21 years old, went to a private school and is in her third year of college. She told me, "Isn't that the Iranian dude we're trying to capture?"
She's very hot looking, which is probably part of her problem. Her life revolves around taking endless pics of herself to post on MySpace, txt messaging, twitter, MTV, partying....
I wanted to anally violate her in the most brutal and vile way, toss her in the dumpster, then kill her father.
I might also do the mom if she's also hot and then clean out the fridge. Depends on my mood and how hungry I am.

Ok, so we've got a girl who is unaware of the exact identity of some guy on the other side of the world who became irrelevant when she was 14
And we've got an older creeper who'd like to hurt her for having the world by the tail
Guess which one I'd be more worried about?

Hussein was executed Dec. 30th 2006. Less than 3 years ago. She was already in college at the time. I wasn't even born during WW2 or during the war between the states. Shouldn't I at least know what years those wars took place, who fought and why, who was president at the time, etc.?
But you're right, I went a bit over board. Mom and the fridge are off limits.

Most of us think that George Washington was the first American president(not even close)...Thats what we were taught in our schools...Most of us also believe that he looks like the picture on a dollar bill(again many believe its not even close)...Looks like someone/something is distorting our history...And I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that it is done on purpose...

Newsflash! Newsflash! Most people are dumb, uneducated and lacking a solid model of reality. By the brutal truth presented in the bell curve, the greats are few and far between. Most people = found in clusters around the mundane average.
