My wife and I went to see Paranormal Activity the other night and we started looking around at some of the kids at the theater at a 10pm showing. There were 10 and 12 year olds dressed like vampires and whores everywhere! I'm not sure about you, but I wasnt going to the movies at 10pm by myself at that age and there were assuredly no whores to meet up with either. What the fuck is wrong with parents these days? And why are kids all droopy and goth looking for no apparent reason? It's like we reverted back to the 70's where everything and everyone just kinda sucks for no reason.

As for the teenagers, the boys are wearing tighter pants than the girls are. They should bring back the G.I. Joe PSA's to do a special on why not to wear "skinny pants". I used to think the baggy pants hanging below your ass was bad, but this is ridiculous. The other kids are wearing all black with glitter? There seems to be a severe disturbance in the force with this generation. Too much tv, internet, text messaging and video games I guess. I'm hoping this whole scene blows over and a Belmont shows up to wipe out the Vampires before I have kids.

It's just a fad, it'll all blow over until something else catches peoples eye. As for the skinny jeans, I mean people have been rocking the nut-busters for the longest, it's just the new fad of the decade. By early 2010, they'll be something less or even more ridiculous that people will gravitate towards.

I mean at least the trend is snorting cocaine of a someones ass crack.

Kids! I nag and nag 'til my hair turns blue!
Kids! You bum my smokes and don't say "thank you"!
Why can't you be like we are?
Oh, what a bunch of brats!
We oughta drown you just like cats!

Lay off the tight pants. Those butts are hot.

Posted: Oct 27 2009 10:40 am

i fucking hate those skinny jeans. my nephew wants some, but i told him they were unhealthy for him, so he stopped bugging me to get him some. i also hate how they wear skinny jeans, but try to sag them at the same time. it just looks fucking stupid.

and in terms of movie watching @ 10pm, was it on a friday night? cause my mom would give me the ok only then and only if my brother took us or dropped us off. if it was a school night, then thats fucking ridiculous.

and girls have been dressing more and more whorey every year for the longest now. and it seems they also get younger and younger.

I'll start by saying that I do agree with this statement...sometimes.

But I also feel that for every case of terrible parenting, there are plenty of parents who spend everyday and night agonizing trying to figure out what went wrong and how to help their kids and get them back on the right path. People seem to brush parenting off like it is no big deal and anyone should be able to do it without error, this just isn't the case. Parenting is a 24/7 job, it takes effort, work, compromise and sacrifice every single day to do it well, parents don't get a day off.

Where a lot of parents are going wrong nowadays is having kids too young, and not being able to provide them very well.

This is a good point, but I can't crush them for having the baby because they could have aborted it and they didn't which is points in my book. The main factor in these situations brings us back to the parents, if they are supportive, then a young kid (16,17) having a baby can succeed. It is a daunting task to ask a couple of kids to go and raise a baby by themselves....these situations are usually not planned (unless your from Gloucester, MA), and are really difficult for everyone, but if proper support from the parents is in place, it can be successful.

I've gotten away from thinking bad about abortion, I won't go into detail about the whole thing, but kids today just don't care about the consequences of their actions and they end up messing around and feel they need to take responsibility, which they do at first but so many girls I know that are my age, talk about how much their kid is a burden to them. What the fuck? It's not their fault! And I'd say about 1/3 of my graduating class already has a family now, yet no ambition for themselves and can't provide well for the child.

Clarify?

And dodds, those are the bad parents, the ones who view kids as a burden. Like I said 24/7 sacrifice, if you can't give it you won't succeed or enjoy it.

The humane, progressive situation is that we need better education. Kids need to have contraception available to them, and need to know how to use it. They also need to know the consequences of their actions. Bring in some the 18-year-old high school dropouts who some of these kids might know through their older siblings to lecture them about how pathetic their lives are and how much they wish they had used protection or waited to have sex.

Prevention is preferrable to abortion. At best, abortion is a moral gray area. At worst, it's murder.

The totalitarian solution would be a mandatory minimum IQ level. You're given a test at age 15. If you fail, you're executed. The test would also be retroactively administered to all citizens over the age of 15 who had not yet taken. There are people within our government who claim that the reason Japanese students outperform us is because they work harder. That's not true. The reason they outperform us because they're smarter than us, and their parents are smarter than ours. They have a genetic advantage that we simply do not. And it's our damn fault. For almost two centuries, we openly invited the tired, the weak, the sick, and the poor to come live here. We never asked for the strong, the brave, the smart, and the focused. And now we're a country of morons. Suprise! We ought to demolish the Statue of Liberty. Or at least rewrite that worthless fucking plaque.

I'd like to see teachers and parents do a better job raising kids to do things, not because they are afraid of being punished, but because it is the right thing to do. Kids have zero sense of responsibility unless you give it to them. This sort of thinking has been put to work in a 3rd grade classroom in downtown LA. The teacher, Rafe Esquith, teaches EVERYTHING by this principle and it actually works. His students learn and perform an enitre unabridge Shakespear play every year. Their hardwork has actually drawn the attention of the Royal Shakespeare Co. and they recieve regular visits from Ian McKellan who coashes them.
It's mostly on teachers and parents to instill the kind of beliefs we want in kids.

That's why I'm iffy on the abortion thing. The poor kid is in a lose-lose situation.

As far as the "better education", it will not work...it has not worked. I was educated from 4th grade all the way until 10th grade, if you don't figure it out by then, you shouldn't be having intercourse. The problem lies in the kids, because most kids don't want to be responsible to begin with, so they don't take the precautions since their whole life is based around how their parents bailed them out time after time.

And a lot of girls I know WANT kids based on the fact that "well, everyone I know has kids and I feel left out". Excuse ME? When the FUCK did a baby become an accessory? There's one girl who stalked me a few years ago, and even wanted to PAY me to have sex with her so she could have a kid, it was a real fucked up situation and almost had to get the cops involved.

I'm of the same opinion about the testing, since it's out of hand at all the genetic retards who keep fucking because they can't use their brains to do anything else. And fuck Constitutional Rights...we haven't followed those in over 100 years.

Not to mention community leaders. In many places, parents don't take their kids to church. They don't make their kids join a scouting organization or do intermural sports. So not only are these kids not getting the core values they should be from their teacher and parents, they are not get the supplementary values that will truly help them succeed.

While I do think there are fundamental things you can get out of church and scouts (I was in both), it's difficult to say it's going to have a positive effect, and a lot of times it does. I had a negative effect (being a PK) but was able to turn it into a postive effect. The core values begin in the home, and even through church and scouts, it might not help the kid since they go back to having to live in that environment 10 hours a day.

People nowadays want their kids to be their friends. This was even going on in my generation, parents would buy their kids alcohol and let them throw parties, and wouldn't have any problems if they got a DUI or crashed a car...it's "just being young". Fuck, if my parents even caught me smelling of smoke, I had to explain myself otherwise face the consequences. I was still able to be young, but I knew the responsibility of my actions, so even when I was drinking or doing whatever...I took the responsible actions to prevent anything bad from happening.

What's a PK?

I've only seen the term used in MMORPGs and I guarantee it doesn't stand for the same thing.

It means "Pastor's Kid"

Basically, several people in my church treated me differently since I was supposed to be a role model to everyone else. This wasn't the case with most people, but those several caused me a lot of animousity over the years, one youth leader tried to get my dad to go through my room seeking out anything that might've been "unchristian". Some people are fanatics, which makes the majority of good Christians look bad as well.

I think another problem with teen pregnancy has to do with the fact, that we're not supposed to frown on it anymore, we're supposed to say it's ok...so as long as something is socially acceptable, it's going to continue to go on.

A lot of newborn boys get circumcised shortly after birth. Would it really be so difficult to do a vasectomy at the same time? With the guarantee, of course, that when they reach the age of 18 and pass the IQ test, that they can get a free reversal.

If skinny jeans get you laid, there in lies the very problem. It seams that this next wave of men is very feminine nowadays, noone wants to be Johnny Lawrence anymore. Every kid nowadays looks like Ally Sheedy from the Breakfast Club , 95 pounds and very sad. Maybe we should do like 300 and start throwing the weaker ones away, because in 10 years we will be screwed if this country is invaded.
