If you are an oldster is it not kinda funny how the young'uns perceive this world???

Answer 1

Yes...but it's not funny it is a fact, and serious the young ones are not stupid, I mean they have minds, ears, eyes,
and feel sometimes perplex about the world today.
Just looking at the questions here on this section on religion and spiritual section I can detect how they must feel how the previous generations...why all this mess in the world, not just in the religious section but in other sections, how everything is screwed up.
I was once a young one and I can sort of feel for them...not totally like them, because back in my days the world was not that close with all the technology they have today. For all you bible people. remember why God confused the language...Genesis 11: 1-9 read all to get the picture.
You other young ones who are not religious,
The turn of the century from 1899 to 1999 all the peoples of the earth with the inventions of all the technology during that time grew close together in conversation be it news, economy, trading, we all began to be jealous of one an others wealth sad to say...wars over this and religious mixed up world made this world a mess.
Your history books in school only show the greatness of the countrys doings but only touch just a little of their faults.
Enough gibber jabber here, later.

Answer 2

I'm not sure what qualifies as an oldster, but I'm at least a middle-agedster. I look at the youth of the world I live in (NYC) and I'm amazed at how they all seem to feel a sense of entitlement and totally lack any sort of responsibility.

Even in the most basic things. What? Come to work on time (or at all)? How dare I persecute them so.

Answer 3

This is because about 25yrs ago, the media discovered pedophilia. Before that, most kids treated older people with respect and affection. Since that point, children were brought up to be scared of all adults, and not even to speak to people they didn't know. (Inappropriate caresses from male relatives was too difficult to bear thinking about, let alone talking) How they were going to get to know anyone if they didnt speak to anyone was never explained. So now you've got a society full of young people full of mistrust and unfocussed anxiety, and no-one says to them, okay, you're six foot three, it's okay to smile at people in the street and say 'Good Morning' now.
(sorry, I've got a bee in my bonnet about this)

Answer 4

Yes I kind of feel sorry for them. They have no concrete answers to things. They have very few examples to follow in their own age bracket. The media is against them with their pushing of sex all the time with anybody. It would be so easy to go off the deep end without the background of faith to cling to. In our Church recently we had a funeral for a young man who overdosed at a party (it was not intentional, although illegal drugs are always wrong). But as I sat there looking around at the young ones who attended his funeral I was amazed at the wide eyed gawking at everything in the Church. They were totally devastated by the loss of their friend but, they really acted like they had never been in a Church before. It was strange seeing abunch of kids with blue and pink hair with shaved parts and everything with their heads down praying. I think it really affected some and gave them hope.

Answer 5

Yes, I am a senior citizen and spend time with young people and I find it is a different world out there for them.
Things we would have never considered they have come to accept as normal. Every kind of sex perversion and multiple wives and all this about beating up your wife and murder and torture. We grew up on a farm and I married a farm boy.
We loved each other and were faithful to each other and he never even thought of taking another wife. or beating me.
Might have thought of it sometime but he never did.
I grew up in a much different time and I am so thankful for that.
it was a simple time and we didn't have a lot of stuff, but it was better.

Answer 6

I am a teacher and deal with teenage students on a daily basis. I have met some absolutely fantasic students but the majority are dullards with no comprehension of the real world. They have no ambition and a pitiful work ethic. I teach students who are proud to have never read a book.

Answer 7

I'm only 26, but to hear my neighbors teenagers talk to me about anything is akin to nails on a chalkboard. Youngsters these days have no respect for their elders, they are as a rule spoiled, ungrateful brats, and I really beleive they are about brain fried from all these gidgets and gadgets they have. Try having an intelligent conversation with the AVERAGE 17 year old these days. The blood coming from your ears afterwards is your brain bleeding.

Answer 8

You forgot the Paul Harvey version! And now...some thing of the tale. next in line behind the mice develop right into a huge undergo that had died in that's sleep throughout hibernation. It had continually needed a pair of roller skates, yet develop into continually too huge and clumsy. The Lord develop into type and granted its needs with a heavenly smile...... Boy, oh boy, develop into that cat taken aback...good day!

Answer 9

I'm 40ish and I recognize the perceptual differences. I am also aware that every older generation has lamented the younger generations relative to their perspectives and experience. Still, the world goes on. The only lament I have is the younger generation's disrespect for others.

Answer 10

They do have attitudes...but I think they are angry and frightened, they don't think there is much of a future left for them and believe we the "oldster's" did and are still destroying the world.
