| America's newer generation (born after 1975) is doomed because of the lack of interest in education. Many of today's youth view education as "uncool" or "for nerds".
The real attention grabbers for today's youth are : Brittney and Justin, MTV, pop music, the latest fashions, cellphones and accessories, and other ridiculous pop culture idols that steer attention away from their futures.
I can testify, as a current college student, that's todays generation are aflicted with a severe case of ignorace and retardation. Some of the people I attend school with cannot spell, use a computer program, read at their level, or tell you one good fact about government, politics, people, or the world.
Today's public school is like Sunday church; it's a place that people gather to listen to bullshit and compare clothing...nothing more. School today is a fashion show- who has the cool stuff, and who doesn't. Who is cool and who is not? What are you doing after school?
Perhaps a solution is to inform the sheep known as "Generation Y" that it is cool to think your own thoughts, to learn, to acquire knowledge of the most obscure facts, that it is cool to tell the "in crowd" or "popular crowd" to go and fuck themselves... |
