I've been reading all the newspapers banging on about how kids these days are eating too much crappy food, spending too much time in front of the TV and playing computer games and how bad it is for them socially.

The reports suggest that our children will grow up not understanding the world and not being able to function properly.

What's the big deal? When we were kids, we ate proper food and played outside and we've grown up to be arseholes. You may not have noticed, but humanity is on the brink of self-extinction. Could there not be an argument that these fat kids of ours, with their 3-second attention spans and violent tendencies just MIGHT do a better job of running the world than we are?

It's simple.

They are hateful and bitter about what they have manage to accomplish (or not) in their own lives, and need to "fix" themselves through their offspring.

I don't know if they'll do a "better" job that we are, but they'll run it in concert with their own sense of paranoia, distraction, and bias.

It's perpetual.

im kind of thinking they are trying to say that by following the lifestyle that they are choosing that they will tend to get lazy and stop exploring the outside world and all they will learn about is whats brought to them over the tv or computer and stop learning practical uses for what they do know. but it will always be in our human nature to worry about the way the world and its people are evolving

Here is the simple answer.

"AS THE CHILD IS TRAINED,
THE ADULT WILL BE." Reread your answer, you answered your own question.

Hundreds of years ago they were going to Hell in a hand basket, and if we don't do our very best to be people of quality, we still are.

We do what our parents did, when we were young. it's what parents do, they worry about their children and all the children. and that's what today's children will do when they have their children.
