*Be aware that this is a rant and I don't intend to offend anyone who happens to be my age or close to it. I am 21. I don't really hate everyone my age...just very much dislike most people* "Tide pod challenge", "cinnamon challenge", "alcohol challenge", "f**k the police"....these are just a few of the things that I can think of right now. My main thing right now is the last one. I hate when people say that. I was just on a game i have on my phone and a player's name was "f the police" and I proceeded to ask him "why f* the police?" Their response? "Because they always pull me over".......WTF. My response to this? "You hate the police...but who's usually the first people you call in a life threatening situation....or who's going to help when your kid gets hit and killed by a drunk driver...or when someone comes into your house and holds your family hostage? Yeah, f the police because you get caught breaking the law and have to face the consequences." I am by NO means "tootin my own horn" this is just a rant about how I hate people that are just plain stupid.
I didn't read all of the posts, I started but most say a lot of the same things, as mine will !
I agree with you VelociRanger, I feel there is a lot less respect for not only the Police but the Law itself.
A lot of younger people think that a particular law doesn't apply to them for some unknown reason and in turn deregard it ! They had to learn that somewhere !
I would say most are the new Millenniums, but to tell you the truth I am not sure what that really means.
But as was stated, Kids are being treated stupidly these days, letting them get away with so much, not letting them work, not punishing them, and the one I think is the worse ever... "Getting a Trophy just for showing up so you don't get disappointed you didn't get one" ! Man it is the parents fault they are where they are. If my daughter ever told me her award was just for playing, then I would have told her to leave it on the table, something for nothing usually means it is worth nothing !
My daughter, 36, complained about working, she had an allowance... if she did her work and when she got to 13, she either had to get a part time job or no money AND she still had her chores to do ! But now that she is married, two kids, husband working hard, she too is working, at home lucky for her, because she wants to keep things a partnership not one-sided with the husband working, she learned but only because I was a PITA, and she told me so many times, but that is one thing I allowed, talk to me, say what you want when are sitting together talking but not any other time.
Sorry I got into the rant mode too... you are thinking correctly VelociRanger keep thinking the same you will be a good man as you get older !
