Are we screwed when the current 18-25 crowd comes into power?

[OCGuy]

This.

They were handed everything and fucked it all up. And in their arrogance they raised their kids to be shits and who knows if we will ever get back our place as the leaders of the free world.

.

Huh? Who do you think replaced us?

i am going to agree with you that she is dumb. not for skipping work though, but rather for wasting her time talking to someone so rude & condescending.

 

[TridenT]

There are always whiny bitches decrying the next generation and there always will be. Congrats OP, you're a hopeless cliche.

Edit - and judging by the way you handled that conversation, I'm guessing you don't have a lot of friends, do you?

Edit 2 - WWYBYWB?

All of this.

Of course, some people find a more polite way to say this.

The author doesnt play the blame game here, but you can tell what she's driving at.

No, our parents were handed everything and they are still fucking it up.

But consider this, you, TridenT and GA are amongst the ones that you are NOT complaing about, that alone is enough to prove you wrong.

Ummm, how old are you? Or at the very least, which generation are you in?
And which generation do you think I'm in?

 

[arcenite]

yeah because 29 is so much older than 25

45+, i believe you are 19 years old and was dropped on your head every single day until you turned 19.

According to reports, they are the stupidest generation so far and the more time i spend on the internet the more obvious it becomes that those reports are spot on.

I think we'll do quite well following the whiny, entitled baby boomers.

 

[TraumaRN]

Me=25 with a house, 2 cars, married, good paying job, haven't missed a day of work in months. I must be an outlier.

 

[JSt0rm]

the baby boomers fucked everything up way more then we did

You Drive slow in the left lane, don't you?

I'm on break at work (I'm 29) and I'm chatting with a girl in my grad program. Sadly, most people in my program are like this.

Seriously? The sad thing is, this doesn't seem to be the exception for people below 25 or so anymore. Shit like this is actually considered normal. She skipped out of work....to talk to boys online. boys. Not men. Boys. I'm getting old and stodgy in my nearly 3 decades on this Earth apparently.

Not to be mean, but you come off as a huge asshole.

Sounds like OP likes the girl and when she started talking about other guys that she likes, he got jealous and decided to tell her how immature she is in a passive aggressive way.

This was my immediate theory. Don't be a douche just because u jelly.

Yes, yes we are.

Completely not how the situation went. Most of the students thought it was an act, and when it became apparent it wasn't, urged Nye to get off the stage. Behind the scenes, paramedics were waiting.

Nye is just too hardcore to let a job go unfinished.

i wouldn't be at all nice to someone who is that stupid. It's not about being immature at all for me, i just have a very low tolerance for stupid people

Don't hate yourself. It isn't healthy.

Spoiler

You are one of the dumbest posters I've seen on ATOT, and that says a lot.

 

[geno]

OP is pissed the girl wasn't flirting with him. If she skipped work to flirt with him, this thread wouldn't exist.

 

[Cogman]

OP sounds like a prick.

No, I don't think the girl should have skipped work, but the OP handled this is the worst possible way.

Pretty funny that he was calling her immature while acting like an immature child on the verge of screaming "I'm Telling!".

Yeah parents are fucking weird. They tell you to always be honest and forthright, but if you ever tattle they get mad at you.
I had to learn the hard way that overall, silence is much better than honesty. Especially in the workplace.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

you gotta let a ho be a ho.

 

[alkemyst]

Probably, they will just all sit around in a dark office and cut themselves.

 

[Wyndru]

Everyone needs a mental health day once in a while. Maybe this was hers.

 

[Scouzer]

i'm already in powah and the world is working fine thank you

Nope, you're like a lot of people who nobody ever talks about because you stfu and do your work.

 

[airdata]

I think we're going to be better off once alot of the current politicians are rolled out of office.

There are too many people set in their ways who just aren't caught up with today's world. It's 2010... and we need to drastically upgrade out societies operating system.

 

[CRXican]

work is for suckers

 

[cronos]

I'm 36, I'm not a boy! 😡

*I saw my name mentioned but I couldn't really remember when this happened 😀*

WWYBYWB?
