But the millenials know everything but can't do anything
For the most part
I've worked with a few good ones.
Good deal. These idiot kids nowadays, most have never seen a manual trans. Took my driving test at 16 in a 280ZX...manual transmissions were all we knew coming up.My daughter took her driving test at 16 years old......in a 5 speed.

I gotta admit Jason......I'm not a fan of labeling them "idiot kids". Call someone an idiot long enough, and they begin to accept it as a fact.
I like to think that times have changed so much that they never had the learning opportunities we had. Mom and Dad both gotta work 60 hours a week just to provide for them. Schools not geared toward real life learning. Video games babysitting them.
Kids are just kids.......they only pick up on what they are shown. Looks to me like all this "progress" ain't such a great thing.
BTW.......my grandson at 14 years old can run any piece of equipment I have. He cuts firewood, rakes hay, builds fence.
Only because that's how he was raised.
Maybe we need more thought put into our working class and less put into the stock market?
I agree Randy.
My boy went to school few years ago and told them he helped me pull a calf and got it nursing.
They called him a lier, it kinda bothered him. I told him to ask them where milk comes from. Grocery store is there response, they don’t have a clue now days.

Agree with you there...and no not all kids nowadays are idiots, and wasn't my context at all. But the majority today simply are mis-guided as you said, and have never learned anything, other than what they want to learn that makes their lives more convenient for themselves. I've lost relationships with gals, and friends, because of how their kids are...they simply control their parents and whine, piss, and moan until they get their way...and soon enough these younger, and some older parent(s) cave in. I come from tough love, born and bred from it, and was the same tough love I raised my two with. And they and I and their mother reap the rewards of two responsible young adults that know a thing or ten.I gotta admit Jason......I'm not a fan of labeling them "idiot kids".

And yeh, kids and a lot of parents need a real wake-up call...back to the basics, working class style. Couldn't agree more!
Bingo...kids only do and get away with what the parent(s) allow. No discipline, no responsibility, and no repercussions for actions or the lack thereof, simply equals one thing and one thing only today...kids that do nothing, and know even less.So my friend.......we are in agreement.
The parents are to blame more so than the kids. That was my point.

How bad does it have to get before we start considering parenting is a privilege with responsibilities towards both the child and the collective, as opposed to a right and to heck with the collective?
All around, we see muppets breeding/conditioning the next generation/s to more muppethood and dependence.
Frankly, the time for society to change its behaviour and actively endorse good and guard against poor, parenting has passed. As a collective, we have failed that most basic task, hence the slide towards complete chaos and breakdown. Personally, I feel our last gasp attempt as a collective to address this is to designate more powers to the state to enforce good parenting. That we have to put this in the hands of govt is just as big a failure as the decline all but the most disconnected and self-absorbed plonkas of this world refuse to see.
Parents should have to prove competency, prove they understand why they should be teaching and guiding their kids towards and not away from certain standards.
Start with a carrot. Parenting courses, if not passed then participants have to pay for 'em and don't get certain childcare rebates on their taxes, or some day-to-day childcare expenses. Phase in the stick - anyone who has kids without passing the tests needs to pass an assessment on their competency and if they fail their lives become harder and they risk having their kid/s taken from them. I don't give a fat rats who says it's drastic, etc. The lives of those kids who would otherwise have been conditioned to dysfunction deserve better and nobody has the collective balls yet to make sure that happens on a society-wide scale. There is no way out of this unless harsh measures are taken.
Good afternoon fellas.
