the quality of today's old people (60s+) has declined
in my day old people were born during a world war and had great stories
and lots of self reliance
old people that are 60 today pretend they were revolutionary hippies but most of them were actually boring cunts that required my generation to show them how to operate a VHS video timer
20 years later they get their revenge when we have to fix their computer problems for them
"what's a browser" !
true story ^^
I just don't see how THEIR use of mj was for some better reason or higher above , our current use in our generation and how ours is "abuse"
my mom was in the 60-70s shes got some crazy awesome stories ,I didn't do half the shit she did nor will I ever.
but I/we see the similarities of her young adult years and my young adult years
and we were both simply young adults smoking pot and hanging out listening to music and playing guitar ..and going to concerts, drinking beers working shit jobs taking road trips for fun ect.

We are all on the same path, we just have started at different times and see things through our own perspective.
Be very careful to classify or quantify "older people" or "younger people" being better or worse than others.
One day very soon (much faster than you can possibly imagine) you will find yourselves older than you ever thought possible.
It happens really quick - enjoy the ride, but don't blink .

Have a nice evening.
If Sunni read my post she would have seen that the statement
was qualified that the younger people I see are vastly
different than we were. I don't dislike young people they are the only
hope for the future, and I apologize for what our generation has left them but
when High School graduation rate is at 50% and I can walk to the corner store
and pick up 30 to 40 little $5 plastic zip bags with weed dust inside off the
sidewalk and get harassed for picking up their trash (and yes they are getting
high, smoking blunts) then things are definitely different, times have changed
as they always do, but where I am they haven't changed for the better.
Sunni I can see your point, try to see ours, attitudes have changed partying
has become an indignant right to be placed before the necessities of life,
then you have to admit it is going in the wrong direction.
But Sunni,
we do love you, and keep watching.
That whipper snapper line was for comedic purpose.

That's because we get to do pretty well whatever we want, when we want. not much different than when we were teenagers. I went through different stages something like...I can't belive it's 5:00am and we are hammering this one out!
I guess us old farts really do have no perspective of time.
- 12-20 = do whatever I want, experiment, figure out what I want to do when I grow up, disregard rules, get caught, smarten up a bit (just a bit)
- 20-45 = oops, babies, better focus on them, build a career, get a mini-van
see the old guys with their nice cars and hot young women, fucking bastards - 45-? = hey kids are grown, get my life back, do whatever I want, get rid of the ex driving me crazy (wtf was I thinking?), buy some toys cause I can now afford it again, get a younger hot babe, oops she wants babies, get one a little closer to my age = life's good, I feel like I'm 18 again, party on, yeah baby!
I did read the whole thing I know you said what you see.
Perhaps you're speaking of the generation younger than myself, because I dont know anyone like that

Born in 1950 so I guess that makes me gramps around here so far. The young people I know (relatives, friends, employees, acquaintances, or combinations thereof) for the most part are a fine group of people. As someone previously posted, they're the hope for the future, although that future isn't going to be much.
Don't judge entire groups by the actions of a few individuals. I can certainly remember doing some stupid shit.

I could have likely been the "King of Stupid Shit" in my late teens, early 20's had there been such a title - I was lucky to make it out alive !
That's what I got for letting my dick do the thinking for me then.

I figured out VHS on my own, but I definitely, absolutely, completely, & totally need help with this new ^%$#@*&^ laptop.
I sincerely apologize to all I offended.
I hope for everyone's sake I'm wrong, I truly do.
I think I needed this stimulating ass-kicking it's been
a long time since I talked with people with different
outlooks and points of view.
Remember I'm not only new at RIU I'm new to computer
communication so my world lives outside my window
but in the end we stimulated some brain cells that have
been asleep too long.

No problem here friend.....like the old song says "wouldn't it be a real drag if we were all the same"....can't remember who it was but it's late 60's / early 70's vintage
Now it's time for the old folks to tell some stories, come on brothers and
sisters let's give everyone a few laughs and maybe just maybe resurrect
a few ghosts that have long been missing in our lives, how 'bout it?
Tell us your favorite story from days gone by.
Who knows maybe the kids out there will have a laugh to.
After all is said and done our stories and memories won't go up in smoke!

So true. Everyone was a teen or young adult at some point, even if it was 50 years ago. I do think drug abuse and the likes are more of a problem today, and nobody can say that it was any better in the 70's, with cocaine and (to a lesser decent) LSD being so popular...

i am happy for you, this new technology is wonderful isn't it
i cant imagine what it is like to be your age
or what will the world look like in 20 years fascinating
your generation is still waiting for flying cars they were promised in the 60s and 70s would arrive by 2000
