The Last Poster Wins! [v21]

Hey! I take offense to that squirrel comment!

Just kidding, I don't have a long attention span either. I zonk out and glide off into dreamland when anything boring lasts longer than 45 minutes.

LOL, Neo! I'm pretty sure kids these days have an attention span of 2 minutes. XD

I almost took offense to this but then I realized I'm 18 now...

I mean technically wouldn't that makes us part of today's generation?

Yeah, you're one of us. Now you can complain about kids. xD

@Morzone You're not wrong! Over here houses are getting ridiculously expensive so very few people in my generation can afford to buy one. There was a newspaper article a couple weeks ago saying we can't afford it because we spend our money on avocado brunches. XD When really it's because the generation before us got rich on the housing boom and it's really difficult to get a secure, full time job these days unlike our parents gen (My dad worked at the same company from when he left uni until now!! That doesn't happen these days!). But they just wanna say we're lazy and need to stop wasting money as if that's the issue, when really we just want the same opportunities they had! So yeah it goes both ways. Obviously kids come out how you raise them so it is a bit silly to complain about them if you contributed to that generation. I don't think any of us have kids yet though so we're allowed to complain. XD

But really, I do wish that education was a more staple into society instead of TV. Or weed. Or parties.

Sorry to say that neither of these things are the fault of the younger generation. Like Morzone said, the young ones are shaped by the society built before them, and who was it again who built that society? If you wish that education was more of a staple, then are you at least actively trying to do something about it? Besides acting like a cynic on the internet.

You mean the education that tells me as a politician in training it's more important for me to learn Calculus than how state and local governments work? The education that says memorizing the periodic table is more important than knowing how to change a tire? The education that judges whether or not I get into grad school based on how I do on standardized tests rather than how I actually contribute to society?

Yeah seems fair.

I've had this thought before. That a business where you just travel around and teach real life skills to high school students for a couple of days would actually be a great idea! xD

Honestly one of the reasons I want to become a politician is to fix the broken system but there's so much corruption I don't know how much I can get done.

The best you can do on your own is inspire other people to follow in your footsteps. And in the long run that would make all the difference in the world. Seriously, though, I do hope you can fix at least something, and it's great to see someone who is into politics for altruistic reasons (I actually once met someone who decided to get into a political field purely for the purposes of making "lesser people" angry. I am not kidding)
