COME ON, REALLY?

Wouldn't be so bad if they could run a country, but from what I can see they are still closer the cave than space!
 
I wonder how many kids today would be able to play JARTS without getting hurt.......oh......thats right, they can't sell that game no more:lol:
 
Well. If your not "pro choice", This is the option.
Outlaw abortion and just think how many more of the unwanted little bastards will be running around.
Just because you force them to have em does not mean the good mother switch is going to flip when it pops out.

Funny thing about that, I have no beef with single motherhood... but I seem to meet a lot of them who waste no time declaring "I'm a single mother" as if that qualifies for a discount or special treatment...

My inner voice just screams sometimes... "That's nice, but I learned about birth control in public school... who educated you?"

I don't really have a problem in most situations, but this entitlement thing is way out of control. I would feel more inclined to offer my help to someone who proclaimed "I'm a dumbass" than someone who feels their poor choices deserve special treatment. Meanwhile I see adult children everyday who are driving $$$ cars and asking for handouts.
 
The thing about Common Sense is that it really isn't very Common anymore :)

Not so much these days, many of the early Millennials seem to have put career and travel before getting serious about kids and family. The result is a lot of executive women, well traveled, have good careers, lots of bucks and are now discovering their nesting urges. They are set in their ways but are now approaching menopause so the clock starts to click. They are far too picky to select a mate so they look at genetics to custom select a suitable donor. So off to a fertility clinic they go with a pocket full of cash to buy some "little swimmers". Bingo, instant kids with no idiot husband to deal with. Many buy the "whole bottle" of swimmers so they can repeat as desired to create a whole flock of chicks all with the same genetic parents.
So be careful hows you judge single moms, some are barracuda's who are fully capable of ripping your head off if challenged.
Personally, I prefer the old fashioned way, much more fun and better for the kids!
 
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO WATER ROCKETS?! I was so stoked to find one at the store, bought it, got home, put the water in, pumped the crap out of it and PFFFFFRRT. It maybe made it 15 feet in the air. They've totally pussed those things out.
 
Anything bad i see in kids my age, to find the root source i just go to the parents and say. "Welp, that explains a lot." They just weren't taught anything. Period. Their parents just sat them in front of the Tv, turned on disney channel and bought them off with Electronics. Having kids and rushing to get married was perhaps a little less romantic then they first thought. People just keep having kids younger and younger, patterns keep getting reapeted because they don't learn from the past. History is boring to them. "The modern mind has become indifferent to history, because history has become useless to it". Part of being a good parent is to be a good teacher and to teach from life experience and to show your kid what not to do. A teenager having kids doesn't have much to teach a child about anything except how to use snapchat. I am not looking forward to see what the children of my peers will be like in 15 years.
You'd get along well with my two sons.... You wouldn't find either one sitting on the side of the road with a flat tire, waiting for the truck. At 29 and 31, they are both a helluva lot more street smart than a lot of guys I see that are their ages.

Single executive baracuda mothers, just another way to F up society and drive the grandparents crazy.

I totally agree with you John, my son, daughter, and step daughter knew how to change a tire before they got their licence.
 
Advance 40/50 years from now. People will be "manufactured" robotic computers programed to perform specific task's, and "natural" born folks will be the drones.
Glad I'm not 20.

I don't judge all single moms by the same measure... I really have my issue with those ones who can't wait 2 minutes to announce it in any given situation. I simply befuddles me when the hard nosed crowd immediately starts catering to them as if this somehow makes them more deserving of something than others who are actually offering effort as the reason they deserve help.

The older ones closer to my age... I have met many who will utter the phrase minimum 100 times through the course of a conversation. Maybe a participation in procreation trophy is in order. They all tell everyone what a good parent they are...:realcrazy:, so I guess obsessing on how hard the kid has made their world is going to help create that nurturing environment. :wtf:

BTW, I don't get so many executive types engaged in these conversations... the one I do know I like a bunch... she is my age and the single guys who like her are scared of the youngest who might be out of diapers by now.

Not that I have reproduced, which is likely for the best, but I think everyone enjoys the practice sessions.
 
Boy oh boy the old man forum. Hate to say it but there were dumb kids when we were younger. I remember them from the 60's. One can talk about how we did such and such and never got hurt. I'd call it dumb luck. I remember playing around in the back of a wagon in the early 60's and even hanging out the rear window a little. Was that smart? Hell, no. On top of that, with no seat belts and if my Mom had to stop suddenly, us kids would be launched forward. Smart is being able to recognize an inherent danger which is something most kids and teenagers are very poor at. We, too, were very poor at it when we were kids yet now early dementia keeps us from remembering it.
 
Personally I wouldn't say dumb luck. To be frank, I think a lot of it is realizing we aren't as fragile as some would have us believe. Doesn't mean you won't get hurt, just that all living things are pretty durable.

The difference now is two fold... with no dragons left to slay, they have to invent new ones. The second difference is you have a culture looking for a payday. If the response of judges in court rooms was "sorry about your luck" for logical issues (like hot coffee being hot) it would put the responsibility back on the individual. Right now people seem to have the expectation that they should be able to do anything and if they are injured, it's someone else's fault rather than measuring their own risk.
