i dig that man, they knew how to live, they had the best music / musicians, people were starting to have a voice, protesting against war.. amazing philosophers lived back then.. now days everything seems to be taken for granted.. what i would do to have been my age now at Woodstock or the Summer of Love.. would have been living right on hippie hill in san fran
funny thing is that girls complain that guys are bothering them and harassing them a lot. Well duh, if your going to wear such low jeans that show your underwear, the guys are going to get turned on. Its funny sometimes. Some things i see 12 years old do is something i didn't even know about when i was there age. When i was 12, my only interest are video games and TV. I had no care in the world to get a girlfriend or be "cool". It wasn't until i was 16 i started caring about that.

ah ... yeah ... sure ... because harrassment is something we just can't live without, and since men have no power over their urges, it should be completely allowed, cause hey! look at the trousers! poor guys!
Make today's youth get jobs at restaurants immediately when they're 16. All money earned will go into a trust fund which they will not touch until they're 22, which is the age where people should actually consider that you might know something in life.
That will teach them a few things:
1) You don't know everything
2) Appreciation for the employees of the food business so you won't b*tch about less-than-perfect service at a restaurant
3) More appreciation for money
4) You will have a better chance of being alive at 22, even though you're chances of dying before then are slim to begin with
5) You will get into less trouble (I was arrested at 20)
6) And you won't look like the second coming of Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver every time you step out in public. Though she was great in the movie, you will do nothing but embarrass yourself. Same for guys, too.
Have a nice day (unless you're a 12-year old hootchie).
I think a tonne of things have lead to the current situation with today’s youth.
The first is parents spend no time with their kids anymore. Whether they are unable to because both parents have to work to keep the family fed and sheltered, or because they are just selfish pricks, parents are not around to teach their kids right or wrong or to have any positive self-image at all.
Another is that there is no responsibility for anything. IN the last 30 or so years we have lived in a society where we can actually sue other people for our own stupidity. For example, a guy breaks into a house to steal something, as he roams around the house he is attacked by the house owner’s dog and is severely injured. That guy can turn around and sue the house owner because of the dog attack. Not only is he suing someone over his own stupidity, he is also profiting greatly because he doesn’t have to accept the responsibilities of his actions. Kids figure this one out pretty quickly. No or limited consequences for actions that result immediate gains? Hop on board.
Greed and apathy. Greed on the part of a lot of companies that market lingerie and sexually or violent material and goods to kids because they know it will make money. And apathy on the part of the parent who buys this stuff just to shut their kids up.
There are hundreds of reasons for the current decline in level of acceptable and positive behavior of today’s youth. They are more violent and sexually active than ever before. More so, they act more on violent and sexual urges more than ever before.
I don’t think this will change anytime soon. In fact, I think that it will end up getting so bad that the only way for a teenager to rebel will to become ultra conservative.
lol in my neighbourhood there are guys acting like thugs wearing clothes pretending to be from the ghetto. I know most of those guys and they live near me and this is far from a ghetto!! Kids want to act so big and bad and act like the guys in rap videos even though parents are full with cash!! They want to think that they can't be successful in life and the government is going to make sure it won't happen. Bullshit! There parents have more then enough money to give them everything! Few are forced into being a criminal and most do it to get so called respect. Damn high school students. Thats the problem in Toronto. To many people fake to be thugs.
Also girls should know by wearing such clothes they face a higher chance of being harassed then getting a new boyfriend.
I am not an old grumpy man, i just went through a messed messed up high school. This isn't about poor kids going to crime. It kids thinking by being a thug they will get respect.
