This evening I walked to the store to get milk and on the way home I was never so damn infuriated on my life with the damn teens of today. I was damn near pushed into trafic by three teens when walking the crosswalk, a carload of teens threw a Timmies at me THEN as I was walking across the street a young lady almost ran me over trying to race the red light as she talked on her cell phone and didn’t bother to look to see if anyone was going to cross or if cars were comming…. I swore as loud as I could but no one heard from the blaring of car horns went off. WTF is wrong with the damn youth of today???? —Ankh89

I’m pretty sure timmbit throwing has been around more then just a few years.
Beat the shit out of them. Teens could use a good ass-whipping.
the ones on the sidewalk should have had a kick in the nuts. the others just should have been aborted, period.
that avatar makes me laugh sucks…definitely award worthy
its that damn rock and roll music!
Now get off my lawn!
heh, did you wear the shirt with the big bright target on the back of it again?
Their A-hole parents. can we ban birthing for a few years??? give the world a break, eh???
Can’t say I like the direction today’s youth are taking, but I can say that this bitch has been around since humans have been able to speak. Besides, the good youth rarely stand out, at least not like a timbit throwing corrupt youth does.
The problem with youth today is they don’t have any consequences. You can’t spank or dicipline children anymore. As a teacher you can’t even fail them anymore as it makes them feel bad. You can thank all those stupid parents that think they have to be friends with their children for that one.
I tend to agree with PDG – the more things changes, the more it stays the same. I realized this when my passion for Halifax history came across an old Hfx. newspaper circa 1880s that spoke of ‘roaming gangs of young men’ who vandalized downtown and basically ‘swarmed’ their victims’ before robbing them. Part of it is the cockiness of youth, the drive to rebel while kicking conformity to the curb.
So let’s go back to the good ol’ days of Sister Rita Ethel Gertrude and her bionic arm/cattle prod – cross her colourless wall-eye and it was 9 volts of dancing at the speed of light – delightful for the bowels of an anal RC. Nobody could torture kids better than them crusty ol’ crows.
It’s that tainted crack….it’s got the youths’ brains fried.
As soon as you hit 30, you automatically stop being rude. You never treat cashiers like they’re dirt on your shoe, gossip about people, cut people off, talk over someone or steal money from veterans. The only rude people in the world are young, that’s a scientific fact.
Every generation bitches about how today’s youth are being “corrupted”, but the scapegoat is always different. At one time it was rock and roll, now it’s sexting or video games or a million other things. Fact of the matter is, some people are just assholes, regardless of age.
is it okay if i mess up and still call you brendon or 195?
S’allright, PG. There are far worse things I could be called.
what, you mean like nerd boy? ♥
lol I have no problem with being called a nerd. I openly embrace my nerdiness. I even have a button that says “Nerd” pinned to my hat. 🙂

Thanx everyone for such kind words…swear to God if I could only get my cane to reach up further then my knee caps I would throttle you all 😛
Manners do seem to be in short supply these days, but I think people have been complaining about ‘the young’ for eons.
I’ve met my fair share of rude seniors (blue haired grannies are always cutting in front of me in grocery store lineups, pretending they don’t see me) but the aging process does seem to take the ‘piss and vinegar’ out of people.
Can’t speak for any other over-45s but you’re only half right El Jefe >: (
