This is THE WORST generation of teens I've seen..you did not see teens swearing to beat the band in large numbers as you do nowadays...and sex and abortions ...it is a terrible age for kids to try and grow up decent..TV and schools with their new hidden agendas are making a fine mess of everything.
Especially since on Oscar night we'll see the homo movie win an academy award for best picture I'm afraid...Sodomites have made a major impact in all areas of life from School Boards to marriage licenses now ...to ..being kicked out of your job...for not taking part in GAy week at work...

It seems every generation comes out with this line of bullshit. Hell, they said it about mine. We saw the coming of age of rock, the beginnings of the drug culture, free love, women's liberation, racial equality, war protests, and gay power. Nothing new for today's generation. (Am I starting to sound like an old fart?)
dammit, I can't find a good link to the quote from Socrates (well, Plato for the pedants) about young people today having execrable manners. But you know the one I mean, right? Not rising when their teachers enter the room? That Aristotle must have been a scamp.
"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." - Socrates http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Socrates#Attributed
Yay! My submission got accepted!
"I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint." - Hesiod, ~700 BCE
I hope that movie wins best picture tomorrow night. Just so I can see all the posts of fundies talking about boycotting the Oscars next year. Yeah sure they will,,,,,,
<<I think this exact same sort of thing was being said by the elder generations in places like Athens back in the B.C.E. times. Every generation decries the newest crop of teenagers as the "worst ever." The specific complaints against the young ones change, but the voice is always the same. >>
Super, the hidden agenda of schools. Are they trying to educate people in the verses of respect and equality(is this even a word?)? Or is it the math you on't agree with? All those devilish decimals and Pi not being 3?
Certain people tend to see what they want to see in the news and society (in many cases on a subconscious level). If they want to believe that things are going downhill, they are going to look for supporting evidence to prove such a belief, and filter out all contradictory information to that belief. Likewise, if someone stubbornly thinks that things are going well and getting better, they will likely look for news and evidence that helps their argument.
I think Shaloma must be a satirist. It's too much.
@Rorb
Then there's "Rebel Without A Cause", "The Wild Ones", the actual bike gangs and greaser hoods, the actual Juvenile delinquacy reports, rampant racism, the higher teenage pregnancy levels of the 50s,,, theres much more.
There's never been a generation that falls in line completely, to suggest such is just naive. I realize Evangelized kids are often sheltered from the real world but as an adult you should have caught up. This naivity comes from a total lack of curiousity and accepting dogmatic assertions over reality.
The America you lot keep talking about, from it's birth to the 50s NEVER EXISTED. There was NEVER a Christian Utopia of peace and impecable manners in America or the world, not even where you grew up, STOP PRETENDING!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
