Today, some old guy told me my whole generation is going to hell? (I'm 21)?

Question

So yea, a few friends and I were eating a quick lunch at McDonalds. I went up to get a refill and some old guy, about 65-70 starts rambling on about how my entire generation is going to hell. What should I have told him? I really wanted to say something that would make him angry, just to piss him off, but I couldn't really think of anything. (I realize some of you may AGREE with that guy...but if you do, please don't answer). What would YOU have said if you were my age?

Answer 1

I would have told him, " And what is your definition of hell exactly is it pertaining to the underworld fiery pit? or is it pertaining to my generation accomplishing really nothing? In either case it's not true because hell is for sinners and I do my best not to sin, I'm sure God has the forgiveness for my minor transgressions, if you don't happen to think so well you're not God. As for my generation accomplishing really nothing, I'm 20 and am more successful now than people 3 times my age. I have more education that a lot of people and through successful business ventures I have enough money now to stop working and still be able to live comfortably for the rest of my life. I however choose not to stop working and to continue doing what I do because I know this world is made better by people like me who strive to do the best in anything that I happen to do. So old man what do you have to say about your life and generation? You can't pit one generation against another for the reason that times change and new ideas change how we live as time goes on."

Answer 2

Nope. a youthful guy attempting to hit on me only makes my blood chill out. Even after the actuality that i'm married, i don't have self assurance in relationship fairly youthful men, am disgusted by older men hitting on incredibly youthful women folk and sense an identical approximately older women folk hitting on way youthful men. Any woman with self know does not circulate that way. besides, if a guy or woman is apprehensive approximately their own sexual acceptance, to the factor of obsession(OCD?), that's what is going to turn each and every woman away. Holy gaucamole, Brad mentioned it much greater helpful than i ought to. Please, for crying out loud. circulate out and meet some ladies, forget approximately approximately your self, and concentration on a woman for as quickly as, and you are going to be able to get someplace. Edit: 30 is previous? ok, am pissing my pants giggling right here. could be an previous granny factor.......

Answer 3

I am 22, almost 23. I can see how an older person might think that our generation is going to hell, considering the great change between the mores of each society (his and ours).

It is hard not to judge each on its own basis, and in comparison to his generation, how could you not think that we were going to hell? In today's society children talk back to their parents, do drugs, commit crimes against any and every one, swear, are not punished for nearly enough (in comparison to his generation) and are not respectful of elders (again in comparison).

All in all, let the old man rant. It is useless to get into a debate with someone that old because most of the time they are set in their ways and ideas and it is too difficult to change their mind.

(By I answered your ?s since nobody else did, sorry that they didn't)

Have a good Friday! :D

Answer 4

You should have said, "Sir, your generation and the "babyboomers" are a big reason for how screwed up this world is today. Don't start laying your guilt on me for your failures. You don't know how I, or my generation, will be when we become of age to start running this country in 20 yrs or so. Hopefully we will learn from your failures."

Then walk away.
