Our youth has been pussified!

Our youth has been pussified!

Go into National Coney on 12/ Groesbeck after 11pm any night.. Theres a group of kids that hangs out in there that are between 14-20 years old that all look like they're from the 60's. :slap:

[Bob]

Thats the sad truth too isnt it. Hell, shit was normal even when I was a kid. Kids need more GI Joe, Transformers, and Ninja Turtles...this Telletubbies and Pokemon shit aint cuttin it.

[pferd]

You wanted some transformers?

Oh wait, those are the new ones, not the ones I remember from about 1986.

[blue83z]

I think alot of is music.What kind of GARBAGE do kids have to listen to today .Who will be at a reunion tour when theyre in their 30s,Puff daddy? Theres a few decent bands out there,like maybe Nickleback,and a few others I cant even think of right now, But no real stars out there for kids to look up to.And what ever happened to real Saturday morning cartoons,like Buggs bunny-scooby doo-smurfs-Heman-speedracer-mighty mouse-underdog(you get the point) Same with tv shows.Its all gay or racial garbage,with a few exceptions.King of Queens is a cool show.I could go on,but you get my point.JUST MY OPINIONS! Dont be OFFENDED anyone.One more thing.Im tired of things being offensive to people.You know what offends me? My gas bill,and how much my perscriptions cost(WITH BLUECROSS).Sorry for the rant,Bad night at work.I still love everyone!:)

And unfortunately this is the last year for King of Queens. :( I agree a good show.

[Crazzy_Al]

I went and exchanged some clothes at Lakeside mall the other day and I came to one conclusion...

OUR YOUTH IS A BUNCH OF TREND FOLLOWING, FUCKED UP, ***** ASS, FAGGOTS!

[Joe]

Except the first scenerio, that is dead on :(

You can't blame TV, music or any of that stuff as much as you can blame where it all starts, at home.

Regarding 'King of Queens', it's just another fat guy with a hot wife sitcom to me :D

[ToolBox]

Our youth has been pussified!
X2

My neighbor makes there 12 year old son wear a helmet, knee and elbow pads just to ride his bike in front of the house (they don't let him ride in the street). When I was that age you would have gotten you ass kicked for going out in public with that shit on. I can understand it for a little kid just learning to ride but come on what's up with all the over protective parents? :rolleyes:

[Xx96GTxX]

not even for a little kid learning you learn by mistakes get the fuck up and get over it. dont wer a god damn suit of armor to ride a bike!!!!! parents are such pussies now afriad their "baby" might get a booboo

[speedy]

Hinder is another good band. And unfortunately this is the last year for King of Queens. :( I agree a good show.

Hinder is cool but that lead signer reminds me of Mick Jager and his limp wrist moves :eek:

Nickleback
Crossfade
Theroy of a deadman
Three days grace
Stone sour
Papa Roch
etc...

My softer side likes 3 doors down and goo goo dolls ( let the bashing begin)

My rap miusic is Limp bizkit, Kid rock, Eminem and old school Beasty boyz

[speedy]

Let's go further back before being PC was the right thing

When men were men and women were women. You could use you first amendment and not be scorn for it. Think we need to go back to these days http://www.ahsa.cc/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif Attached is a picture of Teddy Roosevelt standing outside the Nightlife Saloon back in 1907 and this is what he had to say

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith, becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no divided allegiance here.

Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all.

We have room for but one flag, the American flag.

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Teddy Roosevelt 1907

[BigWheelinBubba]

Amen :bow:

[Crazzy_Al]

I think I should be allowed to kick the ass of anyone I feel is being a *****, sissy, douchebag, emo faggot, tool, etc, and not get in trouble for it.

[Xx96GTxX]

I think I should be allowed to kick the ass of anyone I feel is being a *****, sissy, douchebag, emo faggot, tool, etc, and not get in trouble for it.
you really should. even more so if a guy runs his mouth about you at a bowling alley and talks about kicking your ass by ALL means you should be ab le to kick the shit out of him without an assault charge. :mad:

A quote from Casino....I thought it was appropriate since Al works in a bank:

"I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do. For instance tomorrow morning ill get up nice and early, take a walk down over to the bank and walk in and see, if you don't have my money for me, I'll crack your fuckin' head wide-open in front of everybody in the bank.

And just about the time that I'm comin' out of jail, hopefully, you'll be coming out of your coma. And guess what?

I'll split your fuckin' head open again. 'Cause I'm fuckin' stupid. I don't give a fuck about jail. That's my business. That's what I do."

[nitrous_bob]

oh hells yes

we were talking about this the other day , and i was recalling stuff i used to do that was considered fine.

1. at age 9 i used to walk to the corner store w/ $2 from my mom
i'd buy a pack of marlboro's for her, and a pack of newports for my 14 year old sister , .75/pack left me w/ .50 and i got a soda and candy bar.

now...........my mom would be jailed for chils endangerment

2. in the 4th grade i lived in port huron, we used to ride our bikes to canada , and occasionally the border patrol wouldn't let us across cuz we forgot our ss cards

now.......good luck as an adult


there are so many , but carlos mencia says it best...........

" we've lowered the standard of education so much to please everyone, that the fucking kid w/ down syndrome is on the honor roll "
