I'm getting old. Yeah, it happens to all of us I rekkin. As a fella approaching 'old guy' status, I am more and more irked by many things I find myself surrounded by in this world. Back when I was a youngster... I can recall, vaguely, encountering adults who were angry at the world and bossy and so devoid of fun and laughter that I wondered why they didn't just go crawl off in a hole somewhere. Seemed to me that it would have been better suited for their 'angriness'. Well, as I approach 50, at least some of the behaviors exhibited by those geezers are starting to make a little sense to me now. While I don't condone nastiness for the sake of being nasty, I do harbor a well founded bit of frustration about a good many things I see daily in this world....especially online.
Education these days. WTF is going on in our homes and schools these days in regards to teaching our children about the world around them, their own bodies, how they communicate and how they interact with the world today? From what I see around the web, most youngsters are receiving very little effective education. These are the people who will be sculpting the future of our world.
If you ever want to get a good taste at how stupid our youngsters are today, go visit Facebook, or Yahoo answers. After a mere 8 or 10 minutes in either place, you will find yourself amazed and disgusted at how empty headed our prodigy actually are. Perhaps not all of them.....but a good deal of them are not receiving a decent education. Here are a few examples of our youngsters' brilliance on Facebook. I found these on websites that point out these same issues:
Next.....some examples of things our young people are asking about on Yahoo answers website. Instead of learning from their parents or reading a book or researching things on the web, they go to this website and ask some the stupidest questions I have ever seen:
Any good nail biting books?
Additionally, there are many young women and girls who aren't aware that any kind of unprotected sex can cause pregnancy, and many teens out there know very little about what their period is or how it works. As for teen boys, there are many daily questions submitted about penis size. A great number of them are seriously concerned about whether they are 'normal'.
Ugh.....truly disappointing. There are other issues about our youngsters, but I will save those issues for another day.
Thanks for your time. Be kind to each other.
