srs question

I have a hard time imagining most getbiggers being smart kids so I'm guessing it's been like that for a good number of years.  ::)

Technology can be good or bad, obviously. If used as an educational tool, it's incredible. So kids are better off in that respect. But the games, texting, and Facebook, probably not so much.

All these years, still the same recipe: good parents = good kids.

I am 32. When I grew up in the 80's kids were even much different than they are now. I remember growing up and not being fixated on electronics. I remember constantly going outside and not being stuck indoors all day long.

Yea? I remember learning M4d! Q Basic programming SKillz and playing QFG 1-4 for hours on end. Hacking on Ultima and trolling, or 'flaming' as it was called back then on BBS'

Point is, we also had PCs and electronics back then, granted, not on the scale and widely available and affordable as they are today.

I'm so happy I grew up in the 80s and 90s. I wouldn't be able to partake in the 'social media' crap and end up being an outcast.

My generation, generation x and the millenials are the most educated of all generations. What you are seeing is society moving away from stupidity and retarded morals like no sex before marriage.

Education has zero to do with commonsense as proof with the left.

"The children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for
authority, they show disrespect to their elders.... They no longer
rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents,
chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their
legs, and are tyrants over their teachers."


"The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have
no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all
restraint. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what passes
for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for girls, they are
forward, immodest and unwomanly in speech, behaviour and dress."


Guess the year of these quotes.

They're actually from Socrates and Plato's time. Surprise!


Nice post 8)

several factors have caused a regression of the human species

*advancement of medicine is not allowing natural selection

*the pretense that women are equal to men has caused females to polute the education system, female teachers are inferior to male. women in positions of power, politics, justice department, corporations all lead to bad decisions and further regression of our society

*globalism has caused millions of immigrants to invade civilized countries and damage them through draining money out of them and poluting morality and gene pool

*the advancements in technology have caused people to get addicted to internet pornography, getbig forums and other distractions which is destroying productivity in the young people




Couldnt have said it better.

Kids know about technology?  BS   

Meaningful technology is not knowing how to fucking play on a computer or iphone or home entertainment system.

Don't notice kids at all. They might as well be invisible. In fact, I almost drove into a group of them yesterday morning coming home from the gym. A group of irrelevant bodies standing in the middle of the parking garage exit. Luckily for them something caught my attention at the last possible second and I slowed down enough for them to scatter and get out of the way with a nano second to spare.

If I had to waste a smallest moment of quantifyable time thinking about what they were doing blocking the road, I would assume they were posting some unintelligible excrement on various 'social media' hives.

No word of a lie, I know a place which has a sign that reads:

PRIVATE LAWN
NO WALKING

If you want, I can ask 'em where they got it.  I've also seen REGISTERED LAWN.  Which made me wonder.  Where do you go to register your lawn?  The Lawn Registry?

And people are all "Why do you wanna move all the way out to some country town, Crazy Tapeworm?!"

Almost every kid (of peace) today, is stuck in their Iphone (of peace).

The kids today are very different now from how we were in the 70s (of peace).

Generally, thanks to growing up with access to things such as internet and a truckload of tv-channels/media/accessibility to wikipedia and similar, they generally learn english (usually american english and not british) much quicker and earlier, but they lack the older morals and the family-values in which we used to rely.

Easy access to media and Internets is both a boon and a curse, since kids are very easily influenced if not raised in a hardcore temple gym-environ. (of peace / no homo)





I agree,fucked up technology(social media) era. better to have been born in the 80's or prior.

An hour later hes still staring at it, couldn't work it out apparently. Doesn't know how to check tyres on a bicycle. Doesn't know who important public figures like the chancellor are.

More useless degree's in African studies and Womens Equlity studies. Burdened with years of school loans and working at Marshalls. Education does not mean common sense or good work habits. A lot of these kids can't name their congressman, don't know when the Civil War started or a single play from Shakespeare. They're all for smoking pot and cheering on two dudes banding each other. If I had kids, they'd all become plumbers or welders...take some baseline community college business courses and start their own shops by 26. Hell a lot of these same kids take 6 years to graduate. College is a business...collect the student loan money from uncle sugar and move on.

Spoken like a true retard, edumaction don't make you smart, standardized tests against ones peers means nothing, acadamia hasn't produced every good thing that has ever been invented. You are right, the hub of intellectual advancement and truth is all a farce.

My father couldn't tell you one thing about string theory, nothing about nutrition etc. we are smarter then ever, look at our technology? knowledge is cumulative. Some people also live for a more noble purpose, yours is to make money some want to advance mankind.

Well "doc" there are more kids then ever going to school... and unless you major in engineering or any of the sciences or financing of some sort, you appear to be fucked. Guys drill oil wells make more money. Plumbers can make 80 an hour. If you looked at my post you lib piece of shit you would have seen that I mentioned a whole ton of crap that colleges allow our idiot young to major in that only serves to prop up the prof's and the schools. I'm sure you were far to busy with patients to actually read the post....fraud.

I agree with you. Ever think some people enjoy those types of studies? I hate books, my girlfriend reads them and loves language etc. It's not to prop up shit, you just have never been inside a school so you have no idea what goes on in there.

Money isn't everything either, some people don't care about money but their passion, I know that's hard for you to imagine well with all your own problems but these people exist.

I am not a liberal. You are easy to make melt, like a little cupcake.
