I have had it with the younger generation

[NipponPoke]

Personally, I've had it with the middle-aged and older generations.

Why? What exactly is the definition of 'disabled' in America? What exactly is required to obtain a handicapped parking decal in the United States? Turf toe? Erectile dysfunction?

I saw so much third-world suffering overseas. People with missing legs in Cambodia from landmines, children still born in Vietnam with birth defects from Agent Orange, etc. etc. I remember a woman that used to beg outside my local Tesco store in Bangkok. I'm not kidding....this woman did not have a face! No eyes, skin that hung down past her chest. Just incredible deformity. I felt so sorry for this woman.

Come back to the USA and you see these effing, 50-year olds Yanks parking in handicapped parking and climbing out like Fred Astaire in the rain. I've actually politely asked a few people here how they qualify for these parking spaces and I've heard 'I have a bad back' and 'I've had hip replacement surgery' (guy was wearing basketball gym clothes). Isn't the whole point of hip replacement surgery is that you don't have to park in disabled parking anymore????????

Anyway, if you ask me, America is full of middle-aged pussies that wouldn't know disabled if it ran over them with a wheelchair.

Yea I get what you are saying. I just overheard a 20-something intern ask someone in the next cube not to type so loud because it was setting off their anxiety, but yea you're right middle aged people that are recovering from painful hip or back surgeries are such pansies for not being able to walk very far.

I have a handicap parking sticker and am not ashamed to use it. I earned it in the service to my country although I would prefer not to have been injured. I only use it 20-30% of the time since I get more exercise by walking past the close in HC spots. However, there are days when I simply cannot walk across a parking lot for any distance.

The thing us "olds" know is someday the youth who bitch at us will be us and experience the same issues we face. I suspect there will be a differing opinion coming from many when that time comes to them.

 

[osutater]

Didn’t you all raise us?

 

[OKSTATE1]

My wife has MS, to look at her you would never know. Some days (especially when it is hot and she is having a bad day), her legs feel like lead weights and she simply can not walk very far without getting exhausted. Sometimes we stop and rest.

I will never forget going to the Bricktown ballpark to watch OSU/uo play and we parked in handicap parking (we are draped in orange), I had an old 1980 Trans Am (black bandit style car that was really nice and I use to show) I took to the game, nice cool weather and it had T-Tops. As we are turning off the ignition, etc... this big uo fan (probably about 6-4 270 and in his twenty's) walks by with several of his uo friends and says something to the effect "that damn OSU car does not look handicapped to me, look at the phucking aggies taking up that handicap spot they do not need". The spot was not next to the ball park but it sure helped my wife anyway, it put us closest to the stadium in that paid lot. I jump out of the car, I am all of 5-10 190 pounds and 25 years or so older and speed up to catch him at the cross walk waiting to cross a street, my wife trying to keep up telling me to leave it. I walk up to him and tell him my wife has MS and he is a big phucking pussy for shooting his mouth off and I ask him do you still have anything else you want to say to my face or my wife's? He ignored me. I said that is what I thought and walked off.

I was not looking for a fight but yeah I was beyond pissed. My wife when she first got diagnosed and was younger would get snide comments all the time from younger people, really classy the younger generation is. Does anyone stop to think many wish they did not have to use a HC spot? You think some of those old folks sitting at a bench during Xmas shopping at a mall always do so, do so to enjoy the scenery? We have to do that and take "rests" so my wife can get to all the stores she wants. Not that way all the time, but on the bad days that is her life. They have never walked a day in your shoes but ok at judging. Over the years I have had to take my wife home early from OSU games because it was too much, it just became too much and we dropped our season tickets last year for basically physical reasons. I was an almost 30 year season ticket holder and sat on the 47 yardline 18 rows up. I have awful knees, past due by 6 years for a full knee replacement and I ice my knees at times if I walk too much and eat advil, etc...But I have not asked for a HC sticker for myself. Some days once I walk about 200 yards and I am in extreme pain, and other days I do ok till about time to leave work.

We use a HC spot based on how she is feeling that day and what parking besides HC is available. We have backed off using a space if we saw someone with a wheel chair needing a spot.

I never, ever, judge those who use a HC space, never walked a day in those shoes, and folks have never walked a day in my wife's shoes.

I will let god do the judging on this one.

 

[OKSTATE1]

Yes, as well as the pop culture that went to crap and schools that went to shit.

 

[SMemmett]

Dude, they’ve been making songs about lean for 20 years. The whole rap scene in Houston was all about in the 90’s. Townes van Zandt has a damn song about codeine.

America is in the midst of a severe and worsening opioid epidemic — 46 daily deaths — based on the product delivered to children in the video.

How many opiate overdoses have you seen personally NZ?

Your cut and pastes get destroyed in multiple times in different threads.

Disengage.

Double, triple, quadruple down in another.

Repetition doesn’t not equal credibility.

 

[CowboyJD]

“Why are kids increasingly f*cked up?”

1. Hasn’t been proven they are.

2. If they are, it’s because their parents are increasingly f*cked up.

Because when he actually engages in discussion instead of endlessly cutting and pasting....

He gets destroyed intellectually.

That or he is one of those Russian twitter bots we keep hearing about that’s been giving message board posting capabilities.

 

[Bitter Creek]

Heck if we can just convert them back 4 generations, women can't even vote anymore!

To be fair, today's kids didn't make that change happen, they are just enjoying the fruits of those who stood up to the injustice

Cool.

Excellent burn.

Schools you all administer and pop culture you created and financed.

Incorrect, I am nit in neither of those industries. If I was in charge of all that I can promise it you would look radically different.

Of course you would. It’s not your fault. Isn’t that the biggest complaint about us. Nothing is our fault? Wonder where we got that.

We’re speaking in generalities here though right? My generation sorta sucks but so does yours and you all raised us.

My parenting overcame those social issues with my kids, despite the obstacles. I still held myself and my kids accountable. A couple of years ago I sat next to the #2 person in The US Department Of Education from a flight from Brussels to Washington D.C. I gave my opinions on how to solve education, he said I was exactly correct and it mirrored China but this country was not ready for it at all and may never be.

I wish I was in charge of education in this country and had the final say, you are trying to create deflection on my part when in fact if one person could fix it, it would be fixed. We need a dictator to fix education because each generation has gotten softer and no one has the stomach to fix it. It would be really ugly at first, the fix, it would create Trump like wailing.

The need to have a two income family to exist which took another parent out of the home, the decline of churches in this country, the rise of divorce, made it more important for schools and our culture to nurture children outside of the home and schools and laws made it harder for schools to do so, the family unit changed and many were not handed down the skills to parent.

Oh yeah, we home schooled our youngest daughter from 7th thru 12th.

Temporary hijack alert: I had a '79 Formula w/T-tops; damn, what fun cars.

Now back to the regular WTF.

I didn’t read, as I don’t with 95% of your posts and you quoted yourself which is sweet. I’m sure it was some long winded self assurance that you aren’t the problem and if you ruled the world it wouldn’t be the way it is. Again, not your fault but it’s our fault we suck even though we learned it from you.

I have no idea if you suck and never said you did, but you act like some label sticks to you despite the fact we have been talking in generalities and I have no idea who you are. Draw conclusions on people without reading 95% of what they say, intelligent. BTW - I did not raise you, I do not take responsibility for you, hopefully you are one of the lucky ones who knows who their father is. Every generation has some good and bad, you can make generalizations about every generation, my generation IMO got caught up in greed and materialism, but I did not fall in to that trap. Does not hurt my sensitive feelers if some feel the same way, does not apply to me but if it did it would be a fact and I would own up to it.

I explained how I think we got here in a polite manner in my last post and all you can do is be a a little shit head.

No need to respond, not reading your crap either.

 

[osutater]

Playing the victim. Can’t handle criticism, or the slight confrontation. Another thing millennials are blasted for. Wonder where we learned that?

Obviously you are self conscious enough to know where you supposedly learn behaviors but too stupid to do anything about it and change because obviously you feel the generalization applies to you. Got it. Suppose that is my fault as well. As for vicitmhood your post is thick with irony and hypocrisy.

 

[Medic007]

You’re fighting a lonely, solitary fight, with your passionate defenses of Hollywood and the entertainment industry — especially post-Weinstein.

Even people within the industry don’t defend it with your intensity.

For a small idea of how depraved the entertainment industry is, scroll through this list.

1. I’m passionately defending Hollywood and the entertainment industry? Yeah...no. Btw, your Beloved Leader was hip deep in Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Do I need to post the picture of him kibitzing with Weinstein again?

2. You think I’m fighting a lonely solitary fight? Are you even reading the rest of the posts dismissing you as a loon? From conservatives on this board? Have you answered @Medic007’s questions yet? This may be the heights of your obliviousness and lack of rational, critical thinking skills. This is hilarious. You have deluded yourself into really believing that you are winning this debate.

 

[CowboyJD]

Case in point @NZ Poke.

This is hilarious.

You cannot be for real. I asked a general (albeit snarky) question and you responded with blaming schools and culture. I then again said generally you all controlled/created both of those things and you went off with some long winded crap about blah blah not my fault. You are the one that made it personal.

My generation may suck but yours does too, that’s my point. Your generation complains a lot. As JD said people suck in general. Quit complaining about millennials and look in the mirror. I’m tired of hearing it and I’m probably not even considered a millennial, but they get bagged on constantly. I work with a lot of young people and they work way more efficiently than old people do and train much easier and bring new ideas/innovation because they have more researching skills and more information at their fingertips.

Sounds like age discrimination to me.

Lol. I work in a company of 125,000 and work with college summer interns to people ready for retirement. I also own/built a successful small business on the side. Hiring anyone is a crap shoot whatever age they are. Both have strengths and weaknesses.

I’m 34 BTW so I don’t think I’m a millennial. I’m not even totally sure what a millennial is.

 

[SMemmett]

I’m glad someone finally had the guts to say it. Thanks @NZ Poke. I’m also sick of @CowboyJD’s constant defending of Hollywood and it’s seedy underbelly. Maybe he’ll finally shut the **** up about it. #metoo

I hire based on each individuals resume, and older people tend to be more reliable, have far less drama, and are more loyal. Youngsters sometimes barely know the rules and older workers have the wisdom of knowing the exceptions to the rules and have the personality to manage since they learned to communicate verbally and not by texting. Some youngsters think in a year they should be running the place. I have been hiring for 35 years and I keep an open mind and evaluate all skills, knowledge and abilities. My specific department over 35 years across several companies has the most tenured staff and runs efficiently. I hire across all races, ages, sexes, etc...I was the first to hire a gay in an environment that was shocking to do so. I hire the right tool for the job.

 

[Medic007]

Do I need to post the picture of him kibitzing with Weinstein again?

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with NZ now. That word "kibitzing" sounds Jewish and the people who speak Jewish are the ones who passionately defend Hollywood. I'll bet you're defending the Jews that control the Jews that control the Gay Rap Mafia. You watch Netflix too, so....
