They do it because their parents did it to them, and when it happened to our parents, that [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] was true.
But our parents, for the most part, had it easy. I'll wager most people's parents here are Baby Boomers or the generation after (What's that, like Generation Xers or something?).
Yeah, anyone born after WW2 in the West has it better than anyone born before it.
Hah my parents are the same. Luckily I get away with alot of stuff and don't act like a dumbass in front of my teachers so I've never had a detention.
Insert Rant :
I think people these days people are more prone to whine ... where as older people i have met who actually tell me stuff like that (when i was your age etc.), were always better company. I hate listening to whining and for me i hear alot of bitchy whiney complainers !
I think its the gayest thing that you can't disipline your child by spanking ... my mom whipped the [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] outta me growing up ... I turned out much better than my pot head friends working at thundercloud and bitching that if they have to make one more frickin sandwhich ... between tokes .
And honestly i have rarely met someone who wasn't neurotic ... take a number and bitch during your turn. Or better yet get a prescription for one of the many disorders plaguing your poor poor life
Oh well !

Chuck Noblet: Can anyone tell me the tragic irony of the Trojan War? Tina? Tina: Um, that horses are friendly creatures yet a hollow, wooden one was used to destroy Troy? Chuck Noblet: Wrong and no. Anyone else? Chip? Chip: That the mighty warrior Achilles was killed by a small cut to his ankle. Chuck Noblet: Chip is wronger. OK, here it is. The tragic irony of the Trojan War is that though it was fought over Helen, who was young and beautiful, by the time they rescued her ten years later, she was old and ugly. Tina: But wasn't recovering the king's wife reward enough for the Greeks? Chuck Noblet: Tina, an ugly woman is never a reward.
Uh... because kids are stupid and people shouldn't listen to you until you're at least twenty-five.

I've only heard party stories from my parents, oh my god the pot and alcohol and my dad sneaking into my mom's house late at night. :o It only makes me feel straight edge. It kind of amuses me because if I screw up I know that they screw up a lot as kids too.
I just slowly walk away when my parents do it.
Old people don't get far attempting to tell me that I've got it easy. Firstly it's usually older females, an I point out that they've always just used men to provide for them, an have never acheived anything for themselves. They've lived in a house a man provided them with, an have never had a career. All they've done with their adult lives is basically be a housewife. So with so little life experience, they have nothing to tell me that I don't already know. An as for the men, they always fall into the same category as the women really. They have a wife/slave who does virtually everything for them but go to work. An they're very fond of saying "I worked hard an provided for my family." Provided them with money only. Usually they had little to do with their children, treated their wife like dirt, an had numerous affairs. But that's ok, because he's paid his wife to run his life for him, an raise their children. Not! They can keep their outdated values to themselves, because I'm too good to live by them.
The older generation has always been complaining about the young generation. There's a famous quote by someone complaining about 'kids these days', where the punchline is that the quote was by Socrates. :rolleyes2 I'm sure we'll all say the same things to our children regardlessly.
I don't get the 'back in my days...' talks much, but I do get the 'you'll understand when you're older.' alot. That annoys the heck out of me, they are just being lazy and not telling you.
Yeah, I get that, I just ignore them ^_^
Its sad cause i actually Do understand now that i am older >.<
Parents are Witches ! every thing my mother said would happen ... up to 90% has happened ... i joke with her now that she cursed me with her witchy momma voodoo
