If there’s one thing I’m absolutely certain of, is that youngsters aren’t using FB.
I think he was probably using FB as a representation for social media, snapchat, Tiktok or whatever it is that the young prefer this week.
I get that. The point I was making is the young are unfairly labelled as complainers or not getting on with stuff - in my experience the older generation making these accusations are as bad, if not worse.
Not right obvious, is it?
The next stage of their lives is to do the best they can, for themselves and their own.
I remember “modern reality when I was young. My old boy told me that the country was finished and I would never work. The transition from youth to adulthood has never been easy. Todays young have had so much smoke blown up their arses, that they are largely the ones detached from reality.
But this has always been the case. You should have heard what my father said about David Bowie and I'm sure his father made similar comments. All older generations become out of date and remember the halcyon days of their youth.
It was shit. 4million unemployed, double figure interest rates, cities in open riot.
Even you know the amplification of such opinions then was a mere fraction of what it is now - just not comparable.
Even me? I think you're trying to make excuses for a generation without looking at a full and complete picture of every generation.
Not an excuse - just highlighting it’s not comparable.
And I pointed out that my Grandfathers fought in 1 or 2 world wars, do you think anything the youth of today do is comparable? That's life. We need to stop making excuses and start accepting responsibility finding solutions (and when I say "we" I don't mean me.
I don’t see the point of comparing what soldiers experienced in world wars to what generations have since.
Are you drunk? There’s no reference at all to what you’ve just vomited.
Of course you don't because it doesn't fit your argument. You are saying that SM pressure is so bad for our kids and isn't comparable to anything before. I'm pointing out to you that many 19 year olds fought in a world war before anything about PTSD was known. Different generations can't be compared directly.
Funny you should say that. I remember watching Bowie on telly doing Starman. He was in full costume and make up. Mick Ronson was in a silver jump suit with collar length blonde hair and eye liner. They leaned back against each other, back of their heads touching, to sing the chorus into the same mic. My old man, who had spent the previous two minuites tutting and rolling his eyes, totally lost his shit, yelling that poofs shouldnt be allowed on TV! Hillarious when you look back!
‘Kinell, Prof, youre on fire! You and me must go to Unite The Kingdom, together next year!
I don't think believing that all generations have their own unique problems and that the younger generation today are spoily and whinge too much makes me a right wing extremist does it? I still think I'm a left of centre bore.
