Also mommy is back to work in most instances and the child lives with a babysitter.I realize money is an issue but believe that if you cant take time off to at least be with the baby a couple of years then you shouldnt have the child until you can.It deserves to have its parents raise it. The open sex stuff is something I dont care to hear about.I think sex is a wonderful thing but it was so much nicer when it was private.Dope and booze is the in thing.Its always been there but not glorified like it is now. The simple life is no more.Man has invented so much and progressed us so much that now life is very boring for many.

M*walk Low Earth Orbit User ID: 1067150 United States 04/27/2013 12:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sadly, I belong to the young generation of today, where growing up as fast as possible seems like the most important thing. It sickens me that little kids no more than 13 years old have sex. Heck, when I was 13 years old I still played with toys every now and then. I didn't have a problem acting my age because I'm not an adult yet and my responsibilites are few. I just didn't want to lose my childhood. Seriously, I had a blast around the age of 12 - 13 and I wouldn't want to change a minute of it. Quoting: Vinyard But kids these days would rather drink alcohol and have sex when they should acting their age. Parents who let their 12 year old kids stay out longer than 9PM should not allowed to be parents. But now back to my real purpose of this thread. I'm simply getting tired of people. Most of them anyway. I was riding the train a few months ago and the first conversation I picked up were two young girls openly discussing a threesome. They didn't care other people were on the train to listen to their BS. Another conversation I overheard was when the train made a stop and a girl around the age of 20 sat next to a complete stranger. The stranger was also around the same age. The girl talked to this stranger for 30 minutes, I kid you not. The problem was that she would never shut up. Not even 10 seconds of silence. I sat right in front of her and I nearly blew up. The stranger didn't respond to her very much. I guess she nearly blew up as well. I'm not the one to hate small chit-chat with strangers, it's rather nice. Some older people talk to me on the train as well and I like hearing their stories and whatnot but older people have more sense than talking for half an hour straight until they can't breathe anymore. And this happens everywhere I go. I study at university and while I do enjoy my classmates because all of them are friendly, I just wish they could shut up about their nonsense and talk about things that matter. I don't want to hear about a crazy party you were at last weekend. If you want to talk about stuff like that keep it short instead of bragging for 10 minutes straight and going into every last detail about the people who were there and who did what and who didn't. Shut up about it already. What's up with people looking for acknowledgement anyway? Everywhere on FaceBook people talk about crap and upload 500 pictures from one single party. I can't take it anymore. I never had a FaceBook account and I never will. The thing about people on FaceBook, they act like their life is so full and rich when in reality their life is bland and meaningless. My classmates thinks it's okay to talk about their sex life. I seriously don't want to hear anything about it. It disgusts me that women believes that most men who they had sex with, really cares about them. I know this girl, she's pretty but not what you would consider "hot". She's had a lot of sex with really good looking men who are way out of her league. After a one night stand she complains that these men won't return her calls. I don't have the guts to tell her that these men are out of her league and are only using her for sex. She diss average looking guys because she now believes she can get a real good looker when she in reality wouldn't stand a chance to get into a relationship with really good looking men. She's dumb like that. Back in high school my Swedish teacher gave us an assignment to look at some things critically. She chose conspiracy theories and we were given a list of popular conspiracies such as the JFK shooting and WTC. Later in class we had a discussion and all my classmates including my teacher said conspiracy theorists are paranoid and don't look at things critically. That's the moment I finally had enough of people's bullshit. Ever since I can't stand talking to people. I decided I had to step up and shut my teacher up. I told her what in the hell she knows about critical thinking. Do you think mainstream media is the absolute source of information where no claims are wrong. 'Well, not all of it' she said. 'So shut the hell up with your "critical thinking" skills because you don't know a damn thing about anything in life if you read the newspaper and swallow every bit of information in it. Needless to say my teacher and my classmates were stumped and didn't say a damn thing. I feel like a bit of a loner sometimes. I have a very good friend whom I unfortunately don't see very much. When we hang out it's like our conversations are so rich and we discuss everything there is to discuss. Then some friend sees us and walks up to us to talk about the latest party he was at and how much alcohol he drank. The IQ level in our discussion quickly dropped by 100% until both me and my friend cringed looking for an opportunity to leave. "I drank so much alcohol that you wouldn't believe" he said. Yeah that's real smart. Eventually you'll drink yourself to death dumb moron. The things people do today, it doesn't matter. The party you were at won't matter in the end. Sure you probably had a good time but I would never drink alcohol in huge amounts. I rather dance all night and have fun. I'd rather climb a mountain and sit all day long looking at the view and be amazed of the world God created for us. All the money you have in the world, all the latest techno gizmo crap and all the cars you will have... they will not be next to you on your deathbed. The things that matters in life will be there. Your wife, kids, close friends etc etc. You can not take your Mercedes with you after you die. The materialistic things will mean nothing when your physical body dies. So what's the deal with people aquiring materialistic things like it matters? Now, I own a BMW myself and a few gizmo's but these things are not my priority in life. I have it because it makes it easier in life. I'm not going to upgrade my tech gears as soon as a new version is on the market. I will upgrade it when it's broke. The pursue of materialistic things is a topic I will write about at university. I study criminology and my hypothesis is that a rising trend of pursuing materialistic things is the result of a higher crime rate along with a few other factors in play such as low social bonds. You go 50 years back and people were less inclined to buy the latest shoes and clothes. But today we're being bombarded by ads and media that this cellphone is better than this, buy it! With a low income and pressure from society, this could fairly well lead to a higher crime rate so people who normally can't afford expensive stuff will commit crimes to pay for his Nike Airmax so he can wear it amongst his friend. Anyway, this was a long read. If you made it this far I congratulate you. You may think that even my text was a bunch of BS but each to his own I guess. I just wanted to vent my frustration over the BS I see each and every day. “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” |

SteamrolledGobias User ID: 15716609 United States 04/27/2013 12:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'd really like to know about the FB sharing phenomenon. I'm on twitter because of news updates but FB is basically just for checking up on people and seeing what they've been doing. wicked sketchy. why do young people(I'm 22 btw) still feel it necessary to announce everything about parties? it seems to me like a way to share in the social acceptance - like "hey I know 30+ of my friends were at that party so I'm gonna post about something that happened so they know I'm cool and I was there too". what defines cool and hip is pathetic these days. IMO intelligence and wisdom is fucking cool. intelligence allows you to learn economics, earn money and do whatever you want. intelligence allows you to learn foreign languages and travel the world. if I met somebody my age who was very wealthy or knew multiple languages and had great hobbies/conversation, that person would be so damn fly I would be chillin with him all the time. the problem with girls at that age is that most do not give a shit about learning. they are raised to think of women as sexual objects and they can use their sexiness to get men to do anything. failing your class? fuck the teacher and get an A. getting in trouble at work? flirt with the boss and smooth it all over. this is how girls think... at least, the girls around my age. not all of them but honestly enough that I can generalize that girls under 25 have very shallow morals these days. and to be even more honest it's the same with young men - thankfully there are guys who do care about conspiracy and intelligence and they strive to attain knowledge. nowadays I am just picky about who I talk to. I'll go to parties and see hundreds of people but I don't bother with conversation unless it's somebody who can offer something in return. and I barely ever keep in touch because who gives a shit? not to be rude but unless I meet somebody who can directly influence my life I can't be bothered with them. drugs are another topic and I'll end with this. I have used plenty and I'm 22 so I plan on using for a few more years. but these days kids are so fucking stupid about which drugs are worth taking(MDMA, mushrooms, LSD) and drugs which are stupid to take(crack, meth, heroin). kids usually start smoking weed and they realize "hey I was lied to about weed, so the DARE guys probably lied about all drugs". then kids at 18 start doing heroin or smoking crack rocks and act like it's no biggie, just a party. fuckin idiots and honestly they deserve what they get for treating their body so poorly. I know which drugs I will take and which ones I will never touch, ever ever ever. more and more kis these days do not have limits to what they'll do. kids are stupid and reckless and willing to do anything that's "popular". and they're the same kids who will be looking to people like us to explain WTF is going on when shit FINALLY hits the fan! I've been waiting 3 years and it cannot happen soon enough. thank you OP great thread and I know this is a rant but just needed to add in my 2 cents on the issue. |

I disagree, because the educational system has been so dumbed down, and continues to be, that people today can't even write or speak properly. They are actually getting dumber and dumber. I'm appalled at how many college graduates write, but they are taught by teachers whom have graduated from a very deficient schooling system. School today is more like babysitting than teaching. |
