Ignorance

[-Mini-]

lol, fair enough Bigboy. I remember hearing my parents complaints when I was younger too.

I don't think its the teen's fault rather their parents, should we blame previous generations? Maybe their parents as well for not instilling the right lessons, for them to teach their children?

As an 18 year old myself I find it extremely disrespectful when adults are quick to judge me, but in a matter of minutes I can prove I am more mature, more reasonable and hold a better grasp of the world then they could ever dream of. Now I've been fortunate in life and have attended fine institutions for my education, have traveled the world, and have lived in different countries. I don't see my generation as one that will not live up to the expectations that many elderly people give us, but rather we will exceed this even if some wear their jeans below their bottoms, or use profanity more than other words. I truly feel sorry for those that look at MY generation and automatically lose hope for us, I would rather live in my generation then live in one of theirs - where they are more racist more homophobic. MY generation are the ones trying to change the world for the better, we WILL be the one's who overcome many milestones that have once been perceived as unreachable, by YOUR generation because you thought of the change but were unable to reach it because YOU couldn't stop being racists and sticking to your ways. We are capable of changing and adapting for the better. Sorry for this rant, I am just disgusted when people don't give my generation the credit we deserve and let us grow up and enjoy our youth before we are our fixing the problems from global warming to starvation that your generations have left us to clean up.

Could not have said it better myself Mini.

Im sure you did not mean all teenagers act like those teens in the store, but you must admit, you were very quick to judge with "modern day teens". Instead of damaging public property and doing drugs, I am golfing and learning.

I guess i am a minority?

His generation is taller, so they need higher horses.

Man, im 17, and i gotta say, your pretty much as wrong as anyone else here.. -I think its disrespectful to think you are smarter and more mature than anyone else here that you have met. Your 18, shut up. -I go to a public school, not your private institution.. This makes me lesser than you? Not quite. -I have seen the kids at my school... I have little hope for the kids my age..Lots of them are just idiots who get joy out of dumb stupid jokes and doing stupid things. Hell the average at my school is probobly below a 2.0 -They couldnt stop being racists? your right because racism is gone.. Yea right. Come walk around here a while, you will see plenty of racism. Not blatent, but its there, Big time. I had a guy and a younger kid drive my me on bikes today, i am walking on the sidewalk, they both say "Move bitch" to me. Your right. No racism at all. -This is not YOUR generation. Dont take credit, this is our generation. -Dont be getting all Obama on us with your change crap. -Global Warming? Do you talk to older people? Did you know that a couple decades ago, schools were telling kids that we were going to be going into an ice age in the early 2000's? now its global warming? B.S.! -Starvation? have you ever starved here? Sorry man.

I was gonna comment, but you said pretty much all of it. I guess my two masters degrees and many other athletic and professional achievements, travels, etc etc mean nothing because I didnt go to private school and am not naive enough to think that the generation coming up will change things any more than mine or my parents did.

well said. both of you

I never said I was smarter, just a better grasp of the world and more mature. I love how you are putting words in my mouth I never once said that because I went to a private school that I was better than you, I said I was fortunate in going there. But never said that made me better.

-Every generation has their good and their bad, I have seen kids from my highschool some of them are going to do extremely well and change things in the world. Not going to comment on the gpa as that is just from your school there are many more. -As far as I am concerned "bitch" isn't a racist term, though it isn't polite still not racist. Our parents generation has paved the way for us here in that there is no longer segregation like there used to be, I know we have it in us to push it away completely. Furthermore, you are putting words in my mouth I never said racism was gone - I said previous generations were more racist than ours. -I am saying my generation because I am apart of it, the person who that response was directed to came from previous generations so therefore it would be my generation not his. -Personally I am not a fan of obama because he hasn't lived up to what he said, and I was against him the whole way because I knew he didn't have the experience. But he has the right message he's trying to instill in us the youth that we can make change if we try. -You don't give yourself or our generation any credit - you think we won't do anything. That is the problem you can make the world change, if our generation works together we will be able to accomplish everything, once our generation gets slightly older out of the teen years and are more mature we will succeed. Sure there are some sour apples in the group but that won't spoil anything. Apoc G - the world is changing, we have better technology and resources now to see how we can solve problems in the world. Will this generation fix everything no, but will we accomplish a lot yes. I never said your degree was meaningless, I said I could prove I am more mature than many adults I meet. I guarantee I could. Maturity isn't based on your education or your age, rather how you conduct yourself. Education and age may factor in, but that isn't the only thing but rather a small thing.

oh, im not saying all teens are like that, but in general, it seems like the large majority of teens today were very poorly brought up.

This is probably a philosophical question, but what makes your way of bringing someone up better than someone else's? You say "poorly brought up", but that's an opinion. The kids in the store sword fighting with the NV - their parents may tell you they did a damn good job. Aren't you both wrong?

-I have seen the kids at my school... I have little hope for the kids my age..Lots of them are just idiots who get joy out of dumb stupid jokes and doing stupid things. Hell the average at my school is probobly below a 2.0

I'm going to throw the challenge flag on that one. There's no chance the average GPA is under a 2.0.

-They couldnt stop being racists? your right because racism is gone.. Yea right. Come walk around here a while, you will see plenty of racism. Not blatent, but its there, Big time. I had a guy and a younger kid drive my me on bikes today, i am walking on the sidewalk, they both say "Move bitch" to me. Your right. No racism at all.

Move bitch is racist? Since when? And yeah there is racism today, but we really don't see it on a national level like back before the civil rights movement. Segregation was legal and that got changed. We're way less racist as a country than 60 years ago. Look up LBJ's political stance before he became president. That'll show you how much we changed.

-Global Warming? Do you talk to older people? Did you know that a couple decades ago, schools were telling kids that we were going to be going into an ice age in the early 2000's? now its global warming? B.S.!

Global warming is real. And we (I'm 18) have to figure out how to fix it. Or the planet goes to hell. And as for starvation, I'm not sure how it's anyone's fault, but I think he may have been referring to other countries like in Africa.

-Personally I am not a fan of obama because he hasn't lived up to what he said, and I was against him the whole way because I knew he didn't have the experience.

Out of curiousity, how much experience did Abe Lincoln have before he was president? Look it up.

Your arguments won't do anything. Because there are flaws in all of them. And this whole thing started from someone saying most teens are immature. It seems like his statement holds some water seeing how you guys went through all this stuff. Half the crap you guys say is completely ridiculous, outrageous, and false. And if you really think the guy is wrong for saying teens are immature, consider the source. But to the OP, I once saw two kids fighting with wrapping paper in the mall. It was kind of funny, but whoever bought it after they destroyed it must have been pissed. If someone messed with my $70 shaft, I'd be pretty pissed. It was definately immature and I'm not shy...I would have said something to them. Or challenged them.

The man has been in office not even 6 months and he's done more good than Bush did in 8 years. McCain would have been more of the same, and his partner Palin, while sexy in that porn star kinda way, was even more hardcore than Bush.

If they had one, you'd probably be at war with Iran now on top of the other problems you dont need.

1. STFU about politics. It has nothing to do with this.

2. Our generation, just like every other, has it's scum, it's decent respectful and inteligent members, and it's stuck up holier than thou crowd. This thread shows those.

3. It doesn't matter if you travel the world and have money or if you stay close to home your whole life. It's the person themself that matters.

Don't try to represent me, along with my whole generation, if you are one of the ignorant ones.

[flopdarock]

wow this thread took a turn for the serious...
i thought this was about 2 kids screwing around at their part time job?
apparently nobody in here has ever worked while they were in high school or during summer break...
man all i know is at that age i didnt give a crap about anything...
i just wanted to get paid for doing nothing and if somebody's burger didnt have pickles... oh well...
now i know its wrong... but back then... all i needed was beer money or date money...

personally id talk to someone about those guys damaging product cuz it would suck buying a shaft that didnt last as long as it should... just like it would suck buying a burger that wasnt made right... lol

[CG031]

wow this thread took a turn for the serious...

Yeah, agree completely...Everyone acts like they've never acted like an idiot in their life in this thread. Come on, we've all done some pretty stupid and immature things, and certainly when we were in High School. Maybe not something like this, but I'm sure we've all done childish things that don't represent our normal maturity or age...

A question I do have is how the hell did this end up in Golf Talk? It's about two kids acting immature at their part time job. It doesn't really have to do with golf at all.

Idk, I had just gotten back from Golf Galaxy and was still in "Wtf" mode about it and wanted to vent. Golf talk is the most broad area, so I figured it would be the place. I didn't intend for it to turn into this. Maybe some golf shop service banter, then die off. I'm sorry that it got out of hand.

Erik, I think It's time to close or delete this thread.

[Hoovedawg]

To the moron who said something like that should be expected from teens these days, your a total idiot. I saw a black guy rob a 7 Eleven one time but you dont see me calling black people out because of one person acting stupidly. I saw an asian lady crash a car too but im not gonna say all asian women cant drive.

Just because your older doesnt mean that your any better, smarter, or more important than a teen. Im a teen and im a lot more respectful and responsible than almost all of the older people that work at the golf course with me. And just because your older doesnt give you the right to call us out like that.

lol, fair enough Bigboy. I remember hearing my parents complaints when I was younger too.

Just go to any mall or big department store and you'll see girls that are way too young wearing clothes that are way too revealing, though it is hard not to look but thats exactly what they want you to do, craving attention and they know how to get it. I think some of them actually get a kick out of knowing they're too young and off limits.
