The future is doomed

[Doug627]

I think this was supposed to be some kind of performance art. This doesn't alter the fact that we are doomed.

Stupid People

Mark Twain said, “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience".

These people will never experience that satisfaction of slamming a telephone down on the receiver rather than pushing an “End Call” touch button.

Some years back (35+) I drove a handset completely through a Merlin desk system. My Dad broke the hook of a (rotary dial) wall phone while vigorously hanging up.

I understand the "911 Emergency Call" was
geared to the dial phone. The numbers were
the easiest to handle under stress.

This is an example of why after the impending EMP destroys the fragile power grid, urban kids like those will starve out in short order while country folks will survive.

There's no question in my mind that if any of the<30 crowd were to have to go without their phones for 48 hours there would be suicides and/or widespread panic. Some, like my grandson, have never known a time when he wasn't inches away from his phone. He can't carry on a conversation, follow direction or think for himself. Ane he's normal.

Sweet revenge

C-rats and a P38 would be the end of the world for them. Ho hum for us old timers.
I have MREs older than them.

Hook, line and sinker...

This guy posts nothing but inflammatory garbage on YouTube, with the sole intent of gaining subscribers. I don't believe for a minute that this is an actual classroom video. It was obviously pieced together.

While many young people are idealistic and know little about history, a majority are not that stupid. Some of them are, but the same can be said about many past generations.

Spot on. That guy is very adept and successful with one of these.

 

[Golddollar]

These things probably work both ways. The younger generations would probably be rolling on the floor watching this old Luddite taking 20 minutes to do something on a computer that they would do in 20 seconds.

Need I say any more?

Those aren't millenials. That generation is in their 30s and up to 40. Probably Gen Z.

They're idiots sure. But so are those that constantly fall back on blaming the younger generations. Who do you think raised them?

You can find people complaining about the next generation in the Code of Hammurabi...

This is all our fault, you know. We didn't talk to them at all or teach them a freaking thing.

Instead we bought them IPhones, TVs for their rooms and new cars as soon as they were old enough to drive.

While we had to get a part time job to get any "luxuries", we gave them all the money they ever needed.

During Spring break we worked, but then we gave them money for vacations in Florida.

Clean you room, help with the dishes, cut the grass, etc.? Nope, we did it for them.

After all my complaints I must admit that they aren't ALL that way. But I truly believe the percentage of morons is higher now.

My kids can start a fire without a match, know how to use a paper map and a compass. Both can drive a stick-shift, cook on gas, electric and on a campfire.


They can shoot straight....and know when not to shoot at all.


Perfect?
No, but they are each a single gender that know that the world doesn't owe them a thing and that if they want it bad enough it's worth working for.


I'm PROUD of my kids. 27 year old daughter and a 30 year old son.


They even know righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.

I have 4, 37-42 I too taught them the above. But the truly important thing is: THEY ARE TEACHING THEIR KIDS!

I worked them on the farm or at my business until they could get summer jobs and jobs after school! They all earn top dollar in their fields because, they know how to work hard and actually get something done!

And they make their kids do the same!

Something scary I saw on the Sunday morning news today. Right now, the Earth has twice as many births as deaths every day.

Part of the plan. Just means more for us!
