When did it become "cool" to look, act, and talk like a complete moron?

Question

And is there anyway my kids could get paid for that?

Answer 1

Welcome to the world of today. My son use to get upset with me because he couldn't find a job and I kept telling him it had to do with how he dressed and spoke. He felt employers were discriminating against him. When he finally pulled his pants up around his waist, tucked in his shirt and spoke like he had a brain instead of just coming off the street he got a job. So no they won't get paid for it, at least not until they decide to meet the expectations of the employers.

Answer 2

When Television was invented and people started watching people acting silly, and sometimes like morons.. At the beginning of the TV era there were some real good family shows, but soon it slipped and the roof gave in when silly shows took over. Bad-mouthing kids, dysfunctional families, loud-mouth politicians, cops and robbers using F__ words, reality shows that were shallow and moronic and gross sleazy Talk Shows became the norm.. Even Religious shows were shown to be corrupt and their elders morons. So do not blame your kids.. we invited the outside world in our home and let them take control what should have been family time.

Answer 3

I guess it has always been that way but I also think that there has been an increase on the number of morons!!!

Sure, just make sure they are never exposed to culture and always exposed to people like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears and even the Beckam woman...

i replaced into in intense college from 2007-2011 the favored young toddlers have been cliche and not on an identical time. a million. They placed on AE, Aeropostal, and so on; they have coach bags and wore lots of makeup 2. They have been the youngsters of medical doctors, legal specialists, the wealthy human beings 3. soccer payers have been as stupid as bricks and in specific situations no longer the main usual. Being athletic (no count the sport) made you extra probable to grow to be usual, some thing I in no way rightly understood. yet another oddity replaced into that many human beings in marching band have been usual. i.e. they hardly sense under the nerdy, awkward stereotype. 4. you in addition to mght defined the favored scholars o.k. as that it replaced into comparable right here too. ( in demand, humorous, slutty in specific situations, they drink, do sexual stuff to get interest, pass type yet get stable grades). I continuously thought it replaced into strange what number usual young toddlers have been athletic and on the A-honor roll. The cheese transforming into on trees element is humorous, yet i think that could desire to take place. There are people who're so stupid, so, so stupid and it extremely is worse in young toddlers.

Answer 5

Since the "me" generation. And I don't think they can get paid for it, but you could sue their teachers, doctors, grandparents, the President, the state and the country, because people seem to be doing a lot of that these days.

Answer 6

I agree with this so much that I gave you a star and if I could give you my two points I would do that too.

Sometimes I feel like we are going backwards in our evolution. A hundred years from now men will be dragging women back to their caves again and killing animals with big wooden clubs.

Answer 7

Have you seen Jackass? This helped it become "cool" for teens to look, act and talks like morons. Bam Margera perpetuates stupidity also and he's quite popular. (They get paid for it also.)



The sad thing is.....I can't help but watch.........and laugh too!

Answer 8

I think the switch REALLY got thrown sometime around the premiere of MTV's "The Real World"...which truly glorified the slacker lifetsyle amongst the young.

Answer 9

When it became politically incorrect to tell them they are morons. My mom told me when I was a moron and I turned out ok.

Answer 10

That's harsh! It's just a case of you getting older, my friend. Happens to the best of us.
