the childeren, the childeren
what about the childeren?

start looking at your own life

the only message for young and old is
we are in the future

don't disrespect peoples' culture because you think you may be more cultured with your pseudo-poetic posts here, and I see the lil homiez have never run up on you (probably not sway either ) in front of the corner store and repped they district on you before.. when that day comes you just may be a bit more courteous to their perspective, lest they point the strap and you pose and freeze and suddenly find Jesus.

You say no one in America works harder than the poor....I would say this is true, but mostly applies to the poor that have worked their asses off to get wherever it is they are wanting to go. In America, it is easy to be poor. The majority of our poor do not go without food or shelter or utilities...because as you are well aware, there are services in place to take care of these people. Services I pay for...services, in many cases, which are taken advantage of. Services that pay more money per kid for the sometimes non-working. "Well, how do you expect a single parent with 6 children to work?"...I don't, I expect them to not have so many fucking kids. In a perfect world, MY money wouldn't go to aid these people. I don't mind it going toward the single mother of two whose husband ran out on her and she's doing the best she can working at a grocery store...that, I don't mind. I don't mind it going toward the physically disabled.

I'm not about free shit, sorry. I don't see how it could, in all actuality, be free to begin with. There's no such thing as a free lunch...

And again, I think most 18-30 year olds much prefer partying than doing their homework....when they have to pay for it out of their own pockets, I think it ends up being more appreciated. That's just my take, + if this qualifies me as an idiot or an asshole...I'm sorry.

your foot is steadily attracted to your mouth and its getting rather dangerous for ya

You don't refute accusations of generalisations by making a generalisation in the other direction.

"All black people are stupid"

That's a generalisation

"Ok, all black people are really clever"

you are making an assumption about a specific group of people hence it is a generalisation.

i know people my age and older who are very very hard workers academically and i find it insulting that you would generalise about this when you have no fucking clue. if someone puts 'fun' ahead of academics then they probably wouldn't even qualify for university anyway. i'm not saying all work and no play is what young people should act out but you have the completely wrong idea.

In fairness, you young people do dress terribly and listen to ghastly music. Why don't you send a 'tweet' to all young people to stop being annoying, eh? Oh, and tell them to get a fucking haircut, they all look like malnourished rapists.

Edit: And tell the fit ones that aren't spotty I'm single. Ta.

[ann ashtray]

There's a big difference between "vast majority" and "all".

I'm sorry, just most younger people I've ever met are far more interested in in drinking, music, partying, cars, girls/boys whatever than say....homework. If this was not the case, this thread would have went into a totally different direction a long time ago.

I assure you I have a suave style, have great music taste and understand why it's named TWITter.

I have reason to believe you used to sport the 'male ponytail' look though, so your point about hair is null.

Does this mean suburban Scotland is more academic than the durty South? One up, you cuntz.

[Glice]

Ok, put it another way (as you seem to have rescinded on the option of going 'oh, right, I get you, sorry about that') - if your article was a wikipedia article, someone would put 'weasel words' above 'vast majority'. Vast majority is a generalisation, especially as it's unqualifiable; 'in my experience, many students...' is fine.

Well, obviously you were still struggling with nappy training for the VERY LONG TIME that ponytails were a shortcut to more fanny than a wholesale butcher's worth of fanny.

[Derek]

I'm just annoyed because I've been working 6 hours straight on homework (which has been since I've came home from school) and am now going to continue on some more work. So... swa(y)'s bullshit came at an inappropiate time.

Sorry I didn't know having traits of an anime fanatic was a gateway to lavish gurrrl-o-rama. Did you have a pork belly and ironic internet quote t-shirt also?

I'm not making an assumption about a specific group of people, I'm stating a fact that applies to most people, period.

"Most young people prefer fun to hard work".

I find it insulting that anyone would be ignorant enough to even attempt disputing that.

You perhaps have the right idea as to how things should be, but that isn't nec. the way they are. I forget how many people flunk out of universities due to excessive partying. Lord knows this never happens.

[Glice]

The statement assumes that fun and hard work are mutually exclusive categories.

The statement assumes a single hegemonous state of fun. Some people consider skewering their testicles to be fun. Some don't.

The statement assumes a bifurcation between 'fun' and 'hard work' - that is, you can't have fun for a bit and then do some hard work.

It is not a fact, it is an assertion; Derek is affirming that that assertion is iffy. For my part, I'm waiting for a CD to burn, and then I might have a whiskey then continue giggling to myself.

No, Derek is attempting to affirm that my assertion holds absolutely no water....which is way off target.

The traits of an anime fanatic are that they become an anime fanatic because they don't have fanny coming out of their arseholes; as such, I do not meet your criteria. I do want this on a t-shirt though:

 

Also, in my day we didn't give lip to our superiors. Our elders, certainly, but never our superiors. Playground rules, innit?

I wasn't denying that students like to party. But your argument completely leans on one side when what you are arguing is not black or white.

Sorry sir, I will repent for my sins. Just don't take my lunch money.

Derek's and Glice's asshole must be so tight they hit a high C when they fart.
