The Younger Generation Can't Shock Us

Your women had hairy muffs. You created the fast food monster, highly processed food in general, Care Bears, Jerry Springer, ruined Mtv, created the Taliban, fingerless gloves, aids, hairspray, not learning from the savings and loan crisis and then repeating yourselves…

Yes I’m responsible. I should have beat my kids into submission instead of letting them worship the god of TV, free speech, the right to choose their friends and be influenced by their peers.

My hairy wife should have stayed (barefoot and pregnant) in the kitchen, preparing dinner which is mostly game that I hunted instead of working 56 hours a week at my high payed IT job, and the fruits and vegetables would have come from my 4 acre inner-city farm.

Yep, I’m at fault :slight_smile:

What the hell is Morris code?[/quote]

He he he.

I think he was pointing out it’s Morse Code.

Dunno, the Morris Code might be a good idea too.

Your generation produced the next generations environment of choices. So next time you old dudes feel like bitching, remember who created your monster. You could’ve simply limited TV time or something, just saying. I’m making broad generalizations per the thread though, not attacking your parenting. Or your hairy wife.

Now you know someone who can.

I’m all about technology and I use the GPS on my phone sometimes. BUT, when you cant get a signal, the battery dies, or god forbid when the shit hits the fan like it did in DC on 9/11/01 when NO ONE could make a call on a cell phone and there was wide spread panic - then having an “analog” option could be the difference between living and dying. I’m not saying that one should never use GPS or cell phones, all I’m saying is learning how to be proficient in “low tech” alternatives is a skill set worth having. Depending on modern conveniences is all well and good WHILE THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU. In today’s era where the US is hated by like half of the world population and we have thousands of groups/individuals that would actively try to disrupt our way of life, I think it’s foolish to take conveniences like GPS, clean water, accessible food and unlimited electricity for granted.

I’m sure a century or two ago there was a similar attitude toward being able to navigate by the stars but I don’t know anyone who can now. It’s all just progress I guess.[/quote]

Impressive on the sextant. I’m not saying people shouldn’t know how to read road maps at the very least (I’ve spent far more time military topographical maps than I care to think about), as you are correct but I can understand why people are drifting away from it. In particular I think the fact that maps become outdated as roadways change and stuff makes them seem irrelevant to the masses.

Every generation produces the next generations enviroment of choices.

You found a great way to hit the nail on the head. This is called progress. An example:

[i]My Grandfather rose a horse the 10 miles to school, and bitched at my father because he could ride a bus the 10 miles.

My father rode a bus to school, and bitched at me because I only had to walk a mile to school.

I had to walk a mile to school, and bitch because my daughters get driven by their mother the 3 miles to school.

My daughters gets driven the 3 miles to school, and will probably bitch because their kids can go to school online.[/i]

The next generation are products of the world wide enviroment which exists at that time that they live, not just those they’re allowed too experience by their parents. In that moment your child leaves the nest and begins interacting with other humans, they are being influenced by outside forces, and the job of being a parent is changed into that of being a censor.

If as a parent you can teach your kids how to be what you consider “a good person” with “good values” and “good common sense”…you’ve done a good job.

BTW I’m proud of my kids, even though they sometimes do some goofy things, and my wife isn’t hairy. :slight_smile:

This is all good stuff but in keeping with the pissing contest, the previous generation set up the available choices for the new one and then bitch. It’s funny.

Oh yeah, hair bands. Trannies playing the same music over and over. I’ll take Justin Bieber over that where image is concerned.

Really I don’t think the current generation is trying to shock people. You don’t really see “goths”, “punks”, hippies et cetera. Maybe a weird kid here and there but no shock value group id to speak of. Just a well adjusted group of people doing what they do.

You old bastards can keep your cut up jeans, ugly boots and shrieky music.

Thanks brother…I need the help, because I have been trying feverishly to sharpen up my map reading skills with no luck.

With regards to hair metal, image aside, some of those groups had very talented musicians.

Yeah they had some good musicians.

My Uncle John was a Merchant Marine for 40 years so there’s a strong nautical tradition in my family. I learned how to sail at an early age and according to my “salty old uncle”, celestial navigation was a vital skill to have. I’ve probably mentioned on here several times over the years that I raced sailboats when I lived up there and I own a few boats up near Annapolis, MD. [/quote]

I agree with everything but the bald part.

I need a tiny bit of hair on that pelvic area, otherwise it’d feel like I’m about to fuck a child.
