*watches Today Tonight*

They're psychotic consumers, they think they're adults, but they probably have no idea what planet they're on? Pfhhh.

Fully agreed... oh wait, did you mean the current generation excluding you?
In that case, I disagree...

I think it's just you that needs a kickin the face:)

You told a telemarker to call back.
*kicks KP in the face*

Excluding pretty much everybody on this site.

*Attempts to kick both himself and KP in the face at once*
I think I just broke something that wasn't a face.

Current generation as in the people in control of society or as in the young people pretending they like the people in control so that they can steal their positions when they get senile? This is an important difference. One should be kicked in the face while the other should be mercilessly given swirlies.

Tell you what: you can give us each a kick in the face, then we each give you one.

The kids. Like this girl I saw on TV. Like, 6, dancing to Britney Spears, wearing stupid ass clothes, and saying "I can't wait to be an adult!"

Oh so you mean their stupid parents that should have had an abortion? Last I checked 6 year olds don't go out and buy Britney Spears CDs with the money they made working at their local diner.

It isn't this generation; there are people like this in every generation, nothing will change it. Learn to accept it and deal with the masses or do what I do and stay away from common people when it can be helped.

It's true, teenagers are worthless.

Hah, it's great to see people mutter about "kid's today".

Don't worry, KP, you've got a bright future as a perpetually bitter, old curmudgeon yelling at the kids to get off your perfectly manicured lawn while you watch Days of Our Lives repeats.

Whoa, its like he's been to the future and met your future self! An infallible prophecy if I do say so myself.

Youth is wasted on the young.

oh, then you should kick the parents in the face.......seriously.

It's true, teenagers are worthless.
We have two teenagers at work. Both the same age (to within a few days), both female.
One of them is quite bright, useful, and fairly sensible.
One of them is a ditzy, clueless bimbo.

Can't even generalise on the youth of today :/

oh, then you should kick the parents in the face.......seriously.
or perhaps... lower... much, much lower... :D

WTF is "Today Tonight?" :confused:

[ Offers to take some off your hands ] :D

Oh god you again.

Damn elitest teens.

Am I part of the "old generation" already?

Time to cash in my pension.

um, what does "current generation" mean... did everyone else just die?

Oh god you again.

Damn elitest teens.
I trust you were referring to the OP and not me! Heh!

Am I part of the "old generation" already?

OMG! If YOU'RE old, I must already be dead! :eek:

um, what does "current generation" mean... did everyone else just die?
Didn't you get the memo? :confused:

OMG! If YOU'RE old, I must already be dead! :eek:
quick... Check your pulse!


I can't find mine!!! :D

OMG! If YOU'RE old, I must already be dead! :eek:

......

You're not?

I'll leave that for you decide. ;)

I've certainly met people who are bigger holes than the Grand Canyon. I've met some really nice people too though. But, perhaps this will help contribute to the discussion: childhood is definitely getting shorter. People are :fluffle: and :sniper: and :upyours: and doing a lot of stuff they shouldn't be doing a lot younger than they should be in today's society. As much as I am for people being mature, this is not what I had in mind.

quick... Check your pulse!

I can't find mine!!! :D
OMG! Then that means ... we're zombies! :eek:

Oh, come off it. If the next generation refusing to conform to your values means that they're harming society, then society's been crumbling for ages. Roughly since the dawn of time. If people didn't try new things then we'd all still be running around grunting and trying to kill elk with stone tools. Yea, a lot of new ideas and fads are useless or even deleterious, but those ones are just aborted. That little girl you saw will end up either as some random groupie/druggie/whore, or she'll just move on. Just focus on your own life and contribute what you can to the world. Just remember: when the nuclear winter comes, we'll be the ones who survive to repopulate the earth. ;)

......

You're not?
Rumors of my recent demise are greatly exaggerated. :p

I'll leave that for you decide. ;)
Heh! Well, either you called me a teenager, or you weren't referring to me. Either way, thank you! :D

Just remember: when the nuclear winter comes, we'll be the ones who survive to repopulate the earth. ;)
Now I'm scared. Very, very scared! :eek:

OMG! Then that means ... we're zombies! :eek:
I call the part of the hot zombie!!!!!!:D

I call the part of the hot zombie!!!!!!:D
(set's Smunkeeville-zombie on fire.)
Hot enough for ya? :D

I wanna be the zombie bent over, muching on the naked chick. :D

Speaking of zombies, check this out. (http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?Dragonseth)

Here, have some youth, I'm just wasting it on stupid and mindless youthfull indiscretions anyway.
*Hands Eutrusca some youth*
:D

WTF is "Today Tonight?" :confused:

A really shitty "current affairs" show on one of the commercial TV channels here.

He's right though. I look at the teenagers today, and they are all socially and politically aware, instead of out glue-sniffing and stealing cars like I was at their age.

Pathetic.

I don't know what it's like there, but over here I find delicious irony in teens singing "From Paris to Berlin" when they neither know where Paris nor Berlin is.

Rumors of my recent demise are greatly exaggerated. :p

Hey, guys, did you hear?

Eutrusca was bitten in half by a rabid hippo while he was trying to save a busload of Dutch tourists from going over a waterfall! (Eutrusca was trying to save them, not the hippo.)

There. Now thats an exaggerated rumor of Eutrusica's demise.

Please, for the love of god tell me everyone just missed the fact that you were joking.

If not... *goes off mumbling about the rubbishy Today Tonight "...Migrant Enclaves!..." "...they call 12 people from Dandy Tech a conclusive study??.." "...kids don't suck..."*

Isn't Berlin just up north by that Mexico state?

TT is pretty odd. It either gives really good stories, or really shitty ones. No middle ground.

You become part of the 'old' generation as soon as you mutter those fateful words, 'kids these days...' and then make some bland sweeping generalisation about how the world is going to hell in a handbasket because of 'kids' inability to behave 'properly'.


When someone despairs of 'the youth today', I'm always reminded by a quote attributed to Socrates (470 - 399):
"Children today are tyrants. They contradict their parents, wolf their food, and tyrannize their teachers"

When I get old I'm going to spend all day on the roof just throwing beer cans at passers by. If I am put in a home, I will devote all my efforts to escaping and performing insane acts, like chopping down all the trees at a retirement home (i will avow eternal war on anything older than me) or stealing all the paper clips, etc. I will wear pancakes. Pretty much anything goes when all your peers are dead and nobody expects much from you. If I am bedridden I will arange the sheets so that it looks like I always have a boner. If I'm going to go out, I'm going to die laughing.

It's true, teenagers are worthless.
Thats me;)

They're fun to beat up. Have you seen that british scandal video yet?

Yup I saw it. That'll put them on the straight and narrow.

Name me a good one? And just for the record, how old are you?

*edit* I read about something in The Age, a reasonably well respected paper, about some weiner guy who married 3 people at the same time and had mistresses with all of them, and was busted with the aid of TT. Or something like that.

So thats one. Give me another?
