I'm only 59 so haven't been around as long as some of you grumpy old farts but holy crap guys you whine worse than a bunch of old crows! Don't you remember your grampa complaining about that evil box they called a television. Or that wild kid they called Elvis. Or maybe for some of you that dam contraption they call the automobile!!
Young adults of today certainly are different than you were, but just because they have the ability to use technology to achieve in seconds what took who knows how much time for you to do doesn't make them bad. Just take our long range shooting for example. Because of technology developed by young forward thinking developers you have the ability to shoot 1000 yds. or more with a rifle and equipment the you can buy at the sporting goods store.
Stay young my friends! There's lots of wrong in the world, but if instead of complaing about our young people, you have a little patience and listen they might fix your cell phone for you!
I don;'t think all modern generations are a problem or ??
But I do think there is a huge difference in what a large portion of today's generations that see and the knowledge they have is WAY different than say 30 yrs ago, as you brought up!
I highly doubt many kids if asked the same question back then would NOT know the answers as to today's kids
the SIMPLE things almost everyone knew in the past is NOT being learned by modern generations in again in a large amount percentage!
you take simple question that people 30 yrs ago wouldn;t even flinch on , today's generations cannot even answer, even those trying to FIGHT for rights on the subject they cannot defend!
a simple example is, WHAT IS A WOMAN!
I doubt anyone couldnl;t have answered this 30 yrs, be it a drunk kid on spring break or a child or any adult
yet today's generation cannot answer it any more!
its issue's like this we OLD FARTS have problems with, and all the more so the parents and teachers that cuddle and avoid the answers confusing folks on the subject more than they are helping answer it!
parents today are NIGHT and day different than they were generations ago, parents today cuddle kids more than ever IMO
NOT all, but many sure do
and IMO< its this, that leads to that entitlement issue so many have and effects there learning due to it, add in modern tech, and we have what we have
like it or not, there is a huge difference in common knowledge of this country as to yrs back, nothing to do with folks like Elvis car, or what ever you wish to try and compare changes too! do you really not see common sense going absent in people today as to yrs back, even at the age of 59, you should see this happening
no degree's or being 100 needed to notice this in the current population and generations IMO!
things like this are scary if you ask me and leading to a society of misfits and morons! be them educated or not!
man woman, male female, NOT a hard question to answer by folks from MY generation!
