Question , If you had anything to rant about this generation , what would it be ?

[DigitalHermit]

There's too many people...

[PlayStation 2]

I really hope you're not serious. Regardless of what Nvidia has done to piss you off, there are FAR worse things going on. 

My life revolves around absolutely nothing so eh.

[eHamm]

I hate that everyone my age is incredibly sensitive, everyone takes it so personally and at that point they won't listen to anyone else. I feel like people aren't as logical and are more emotional than they should be, and that we let a lot of people get away with being unintelligent. I also think we need to stop pushing this no child left behind stuff, some people don't need to go to college and that's OKAY. 

[Godlygamer23]

good luck preaching that on this forum : (

You don't need luck. You just need a moderator.

[Godlygamer23]

wish i had a moderator around when i was harassed about being gay on my old account 

If you have issues, use the report feature if you didn't at the time.

[GoldSrc]

People who gets "offended" by almost everything... on the Internet.

[Serin]

Honestly I've more problems with the old buggers who've essentially created a multitude of global messes that we and the coming generations will have to clean up. Climate change... The ever present superhappyfuntime threat of nuclear war. I've yet to meet a younger person who thinks these things are a good way to run a planet.
You all have permission to murder me the day I start whinging about the younger kids on my lawn.

[JuztBe]

The shitty music

The general inability to think before speaking 

The god awful music

Yeah, I have no idea what the heck happened. Few years ago at least I was able to listed radio without being bothered. Not that I like pop, but it used to be fine.

Right now I'm forced to change station quite often.

[Admiral Naismith]

Social Justice Warriors and non-egalitarian Feminists and Meninists.... There's just so much stupid in these three camps that I don't really know what to say.

 

Weed. I don't hate weed, but ffs it's not gods' gift to the world. Chill the fuck out about it. No one cares that you smoke weed.

 

Extreme anti-gun and pro-gun young people. You know, the type that think guns should be completely banned in the U.S. or everyone should carry an AR-15.

 

Anyone who makes an unfunny WW2 joke. It rustles my jimmies.

 

Music elitists. Looking at you people who act like it's cool to hate JB's music or 'only like the old stuff' from a certain band... This is you;

[IMPERIUS]

Stupidity, no thinking, no own taste, mind 99% influence with internet diseases like selfies, beauty youtubers, facebook memes, tublr and so on. I think those 4 things cover 100+ things

[Ridska]

 

Music elitists. Looking at you people who act like it's cool to hate JB's music or 'only like the old stuff' from a certain band... This is you;

 

Just so you know , I don't hate JB , I hate his music.

I remember my taekwondo teacher saying this : '' I don't hate JB, if i met him , i will be glad to hang out with him BUT ,

In the same sentence , i would ask him to change his music .

And that just sums it up. I want some (  or if possible ) all celebrities to be a good example to there followers , not teach them to piss on a bucket in side of a restaurant.

I dont hate JB , but i hate his music and his fans.

[Nup]

General narcissism.

[techswede]

The music.. Dubstep,Hardstyle etc.. Really not my thing.

Lack of respect for their elders,teachers,parents.

Their disregard for physical media. (People still read books? People still use cd's?)

You're a product of your parents and their parents. Successive generations since the 1970's have had a bigger change on society than the generations proceeding the early-mid 20th century. We've witnessed a decline in standards, morals, respect for ones self and others, decency, law & order and ethics. If one see's how much has changed within society in just the years since 2000, where we are headed is not a good place. Alternatively if you see the changes in society and the individual attitudes of people towards others since the 1900's, you'll see a drastic decline.

 

You've got so much promise and possibilities. We live in an interconnected world where the constraints of the past no longer weigh on the shoulders of the future. We have advanced medical treatments, Internet and telecommunications, food production increases, housing standards, freedom of travel (Land, Air, Sea). We have so much to bring us closer and bring about a more just and secure world, but all we have for good is being used in the most part for bad.

 

Producing enough food for 20Billion people, yet almost 1Billion live in poverty. Medicines that can treat and cure the simplest of diseases, yet for many the cost is out of reach. The internet held such promise and has achieved much, but at the sacrifice of what's important. Many young people are stuck in a cycle of loneliness, isolated in their rooms for days on end. Many suffer from the addiction of pornography and many more are held ransom to the vulnerabilities of the internet. City and suburban housing blocks lay empty while the homeless sleep in the gutters outside. Government's have poured trillions and trillions into conflict and the amassing of vast military forces, all the while the many ills of society are left to scavenge from the droppings of the military generals and men in power.

 

The notion of the 1970's was a noble one, one of freedom and equality for both genders and all groups irrespective of race or religion. Yet what was needed to be taught was not an unbridled freedom where anything goes and anything can be said without any thought of the generational consequences that would result in raising children like that. Religion for many has and is a constant source for corruption and conflict but you'll agree that the fundamental beliefs of all major faiths played a positive roll the in society of your grandparents. Children were taught respect, morals and ethics, honesty and love.....all of which is lacking greatly in the current generations. Why is this? Because the parents of the 70's believed in an alternate way of life and of living which sounded great, but little could they foresee the effect that the lack of discipline and training of their children would have on today's society.

[WolfDeville]

weeaboos, the lack of intelligence/common sense/empathy/ in today's kids and pretty much everything. The world is so fucked right now and full of retards and psycho cunts. Earth needs a good ol' purging.

[Real_PhillBert]

Entitlement. 

[Volbet]

Here we are, in the year 2015, and we having the same stuck up discussion that they had 4100 years ago.

Complaining about generations, be it your own or the one that succeedes yours, is as old as the written word itself if not older. 

People have bitched and moaned about the stupid and disrespectful youth since time immemorial and we have turned out just fine.

 

The ´stupid´ youth of the 1930's created the medical revolution.

The ´disrespectful´ youth of the 1950's revolutionized the economic structur of the Western world

The ´obsessed´ youth of the 1960's and 1970's brought on the digitial revolution. 

There is no reason to think the young generation of the 2010's will handle themself any different.

Most of us will become nobodies. There won't be any significant actions that are attributed to us, but a few people will change society for the better.

 

As already said, complaining about the young people lacking the respect of elder; that is a complaint that goes all the way back to the Epic of Gilgamesh.

Fucking Babylonians complained about this. We could probaly say that disrespecting elder won't lead to the downfall of our civilization nor is it a problem with the current generation.

A lack of morals and a lack of respect of the law? Most Western countries are reporting record low crime rates, so people are following the rules more than ever.

Whether or not this is a good thing is up for the debat.

Being obsessed with technology is not a modern complaint. People were bitching about the same thing when phones, radios, newspapers, TVs and comic books saw their way into very home. 

We are a species of primates that likes excess. We like to indulge in the good things in life. And don't you think that your great-grandparents would have their face donw on their phones of they had the oppertunity when they were young? 

 

So no, I refuse to rant about my generation. My generation suffers from the same problems that every generation suffered from.

And some of the things it suffers from, it suffers from to less of an extend that previous generations did.

Statistically speaking, the current generation looks to the best in human history and the generations that follows will most certainly be even better.

Just a snippet of your general comment relating to past generations doing the same thing as we're doing now, think about this.

 

Those generations did not have thousands of years of recorded history of societies, cultures, standards, morals, ethics etc to go back on and say "These are the mistakes we have made, so lets try to rectify them". There is more freedom of information than ever before, more education than ever before, yet we have people taking photos of a dying person instead of lending a hand. Men would do the little things for women such as holding open a door or giving up a seat, but you rarely see that in today's society (and yes, I've encounter the situation on public transport many times). We have years and years of information that should help us resolve conflicts through peaceful means, but in the year 2015 we're in a more troubled state now than after World War 2, even political powers admit we're loosing control.

 

The evidence really stacks up to say something has gone wrong along the way, that hasn't happened in past generations, again given all we know and understand about ourselves and others, it really shouldn't be happening. It was unheard of for children at the ages of 11 being sexually active back in the day, but now with constant bombardment of media and TV, children's minds are being distorted. Children that are pop stars before they even finish school, it's not normal and just looking at the history of train wrecks of child stars gives evidence of that. It's far too complex and vast for a simple forum post. Sure every generation has had it's rascals and misfits, but what's going on today is far greater than anytime in the past.

[Slash003]

Phones. Everyone has a fucking smart phone and everyone assumes you do. I dont even have a regular phone dont make me have to spend 500 bucks on that.

 

Idiocy. Finding a smart person is like a needle in a haystack.

 

Thinking just based on emotion and no logic.

 

They are the reason common sense is now known as rare sense.

 

People feeling entitled to the finest luxuries and shit. If you want that good shit you work towards it. You bitching about it isnt gonna help. Either work or accept where you stand in the scale of the world.

 

People not working for anything, and not making smart decisions. The complain about how they have no money but are running around in 300$ shoes and texting on 700$ phone. And they have no job so its putting them in debt.

 

Some of this shitty music that is being spammed about sex and drugs. Yeah sex is cool and drugs can do some crazy things. Big whup. They've been around forever.

 

People getting all offended about everything. 

 

People bitching in general about useless shit.

 

Government and there stupid laws and politics and all the politicians. 

 

I'll probably add on to this list later.

[ForsakenLive]

Music and fashion for the most

[Slash003]

OH another one!

 

HOW EVERYONE THINKS THEY ARE A FUCKING GANGSTER THEN ACTS LIKE SUCH A PUSSY ASS BITCH WHEN REAL STRESS SHOWS UP.

Question for you all : What do you feel towards/about Modern art Of this generation ?

Is it something that its so genius that normal people can not understand it or is it so dumb that you have no idea what it stands for ?

It depends on the artist. There is a lot of good modern art (Chris DeRubeis, Peter Max, Leslie Lou, Godard, Wyland, Pollock/Picasso/Dali, etc...) But there is also a lot of crap... I remember going to the Museum of Modern Art a couple years ago and one of the pieces of art was literally a flourescent bulb (T8 iirc) hanging on the wall at a 45º angle.

People in the past didn't help the dying either. A biblical story like The Good Samaritan show this.

The story shows that it wasn't uncommon for people to ignore the dead and dying.

That is why the actions of the Samaritan stand out so much.

 

When people moved into cities in the 17th and 18th century, this problem became even more apperant.

There were sick houses where people were just left to die while the rest of the world ignored them.

People weren't nice to the dead and dying in the past. They were equally as cold hearted as we are today, if not more so.

The only reason they didn't take pictures were becuase they didn't have the ability to do so. 

 

The thing is, we are actually living in the most peaceful time in human history.

Compared to the past there isn't near as many people dying in bloody wars as before.

Even the 20th century, which had wars like WWI and WWII, was very peaceful when compared to centuries past. 

I can recommend reading The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker. He explains this is far greater detail in that book. 

 

Young guys and gals have been having sex since forever. 

Back in the middle ages (and also before), it was not uncommon to be married away at age 8-10 and the marriage would be consumated when the girl had her ´moon blood´ (period).

And in the well nurtured  upperclass that could easily happen around age 11. 

 

And children have been stars in the past aswell.

In the circuses of Europe it was not uncommon to see very young children performe. Some of those children became international starts.

 

The only reason why we think the current generation is going to hell, is becuase we live in it.

Our history books are filled with the great deeds of great people, but we tend to forget that the everyday was not great. 

When people in the future reads about our generation, they will probably look at us with as much awe as we look at past generations.
