:laugh: You got it.

Now who gives the haircuts?
What kind of haircut? :Q


Hmm, my guess is I would be one of these receiving haircuts... dammit

Teenagers trick or treat? LOL, they want to be treated as adults and they go trick or treating like little kids? I stopped that when I was probably 10 years old.

lol, yep. Heck, even adults trick or treat here. They probably just give the candy to their children, but it still seems kind of weird.


I've taken my nieces trick or treating before, but I walk them to the door and they get a piece of candy for the bag. The adults actually have a bag of their own?

/edit if I see this at my house this year I will not hesitate to issue a pimp slap.

The PRESIDENT of the USA, who is much older than 17-25, said that the jury is still out on evolution... And it wasn't until very recently that the administration admitted that anthropogenic global warming is real. Don't blame it on us 17-25 year olds. We voted for Gore and Kerry.

Gore and Kerry, one step closer to the Socialist Utopia. :roll:

I only trick or treated until I was 14, then I started giving out candy 😛

Hmmm... maybe it's a suburbia thing. I dunno. All I know is that at about 8:00 hordes of teenagers take all the candy they can, at about 10:00 they start vandalising houses, and at probably around 11:00 they get drunk and vomit all over the streets. Teenagers suck here.

As if Bush is some hardcore capitalist.
 
Hey, not all of us are bad. I turn 18 tomorrow...I like to think that I'm well behaved and respectful. I don't get demerits, I don't go to the office, I was brought up to say "yes mam, yes sir", hold a steady job as Asst. to IT during the summer...Don't generalize based on the people that actually stand out...You never see the good kids...they're overshadowed by the bad ones...

Who said anything about Bush? Bush isn't a capitalist. He's just a crook trying to make his "ol boy" buddies rich. He also adjusts his policies in order to gain political support, his policies abide to no specific set of principals.

Ok, then you just get a haircut. 😉

We were waaay to lenient on them. I think that generation just needed two things:

A haircut and a good spanking!

Hopefully weve learned our lesson going forward.

Thankfully, people who think like you are on the way out.


I think people like him should come back in.

What's so bad about being strong on the environment?
 
No, I think some <17 year olds lack discipline, but 17-25 year olds are adults and can do whatever they (we) want. How old are you? I'd like to see you try and 'discipline' a 25 year old man, you'll get you ass kicked, but it might be a good experiment 🙂

Yes, but absolutely no more than any previous generation.

I doubt that. Was rape, drug addiction, and suicide really a problem in schools three or so generations ago?

Three generations ago, the National Guard had to protect black children going to school.

Including acting like a piece of ******? Most teenagers are no better than criminals and should be treated as such.

Hmmm... I didn't think about that. You have a point there.

I don't know what socialist utopias have to do with anything. I was referring to the Bush Administration's anti-science stance...

Yea, that'll be great, then they can feel alienated from society and grow up to be real criminals! I'm so glad I've got wise elders like you to show me the way.
 
No, I think your parents thought the same thing about your generation at the time. If anything we're moving towards being more diverse and accepting than any previous generation has. In 40 years my generation will be saying the same thing you are.. history repeats itself.

Alienated? The bad ones who are beaten, yeah they will and they should. They deserve no better. There's no reason for the good teenagers to feel persecuted though.

QFT!!

But I still think there is a good deal of spoiled brats out there that are in a desperate need for some good old fashioned spanking session(s), and kudos to whomever volunteered for the job 😀
 
You do realize how utterly stupid it is to classify 17-25 year-olds in one group? There are massive differences in all parts of our lives depending on our economic and social backgrounds. I live in a suburb of Minneapolis and my high school has some of the brightest and most mature kids you?re going to find in the country. If you go to the city though, you're going to be stuck with predominantly black, poor, undereducated, kids who honestly don't give a ****** about you. I think it's your political correctness that needs some discipline.
