Dumb as hell young generations?

[konqrr]

It really depends on the area. The school I go to has some of the smartest people I have ever known, and they are only 16 years old. One kid visited Princeton as a part of a science team to contribute on a plasma reactor. He was a genious, and there are many like him. I actually think the technology illiterate older people are the ones who lack knowledge.

well im 16, sophmore, get high 80s and low 90s for the most part, but dont really care about my grades, or put much effort. why? because formal education isnt something that i value in any way shape or form. i read a hell of a lot on wikipedia and stuff, about stuff that actually interests me. money isnt somethign that i particularly value, therefore i see no need to waste my time learning a lot of bullshit that i'm never going to use just to get a piece of paper that says i can get a high paying job.

as for the more superficial side of my generation, who tend not to do too good in school, gonna suck for them.

my dad works with his hands, and hes really good at what he does. however, ive barely picked up anything from him (as far as manual labor skills etc.) because i never had an interest in it. as a little kid my parents could never get me to be interested in a sport.

i fail to see how manual labor build "character", as many people in the older generation put it. i think more people are realizing that manual labor fucking sucks, and there are easier alternatives.

i dont think "soceity" ruins kids, its parents that ruin kids. however, i think if everyone stopped giving a shit about what britney spears does and bullshit like that, the world would be a somewhat better place

and yea i ranted lol

Its not only kids man there are a lot of stupid adults too. They drink their beer and smoke their cigarettes and watch nascar. I'm 16 so I'd say im apart of this younger generation and I can see how superficial people are. If the only topic you can think about to have a conversation is American Idol, you need to re-think your life.

B.Basher- that Avatar, I saw the episode. hahah i feel like a loser now


But I can only speak for myself. I have good grades and I am supposed to be a freshman and Im currently a sophomore and taking Junior level math. So I think being "dumb" is really compairing yourself to someone elses intelligence. If you want to call us dumb, go ahead, but remember, there are smart cookies out there.
