I can fully confirm that a lot of kids nowadays have lost respect for adults/older juveniles and I'm only 21 years old, so that trend is rather recent (at least in my region), because we sure as hell had respect for those who were in the senior classes and we never attacked them unless they took our football etc.

Only 3 years ago I was walking though the school during a break and plenty of 12 and 13 years-olds called me an asshole etc. and I'm no exception there.

are you really 19? you are talking as if you were 60 years old :/

I'm sorry but prove it.

I work at a school sometimes and everything you've said is completely false.

Seems like you get your version of society from the media. Presumably the "values oriented" media.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers."

I disagree completely.

First off, I get angry when people say that girls today behave like whores. Why shouldn't it be as acceptable for them to screw around as it is for us? Sexual liberation is better for everyone.

Science now is advancing much more rapidly than it was in the past, and we have all the prior knowledge as well, we are better than in the past, and we are getting better faster.

Secularism, human rights and democracy are spreading all over the globe, and our standard of living is constantly improving. Scientists might even unlock the secret of curing aging within our lifetime.

The only thing that sucks about the present is that most AAA third party games doesn't appear together with Nintendo first party games on what would be an unstoppable juggernaut of a console, and PC gaming is being cannibalized by less worthy platforms.

You don't have show the decency or respect to read a post, hypocrite.

Bill Gates has probably donated more to charity than any person in the history of time combined. You wanna call someone a cocksucker, then call the late steve jobs that, but you obviously are just pointing fingers at anyone that walks by.

No, college is about showing someone that you can work hard. You will always get hired by a company if you can prove these things on your own. I was hired as a manager because I worked at a store and showed dedication and innovation. I wasn't hired because I went to college.

Here, here.

Nope, I'm going off what I've seen in person.  I also sometimes work at schools (both elementary and high school), and I see all of these things that I mentioned.  And the troubling part is that these same schools weren't like that just a few years ago.

What school? DC public? LA high? I'm in BOSTON, and I don't see that.
