Yes in the green it says "If someone wanted to pour a cup of gunpowder in a tin can and explode it, it's probably okay." And yes, green states are Tennessee AND Missouri.
Well, with my cousin Zack, who can make a bomb out of sparklers and duct tape, it's a good thing Tennessee is so lax.
On the other side of crazy, we have a slightly bitchy blogger pointing out the fact that people our age are generally stupid.
"Yes, I am looking at you — Mr. Twenty-something hipster with your skinny jeans and tumblr blog. You may know your way around the Internet but a third of you (33%) don't know that the US declared independence from Great Britain and two-thirds (69%) don't know that this happened in 1776.
Don't worry, your elders can help you out. Over 70% of fifty-year olds knew that our founding fathers revolted against the British and 75% knew this happened in 1776. If you want to keep up your cool reputation, you may want to seek out this older generation and get schooled on some history before you embarrass yourself again next year."Okay, let's look at those stats again. 33% of kids didn't know we revolted against the British, but (if my math is accurate) 30% of oldies didn't know either. 69% of younglings didn't know when it happened but only 25% of old peeps didn't know. Is the first stat really worth mentioning? Also, why are some many people idiots? 1 out of 4 people not knowing this is pathetic no matter how old you are.
Anyway, I'll try to post actually creative things and not shit I read on the internet in the future.
I incredibly enjoyed this, post more things like this if you must. You will find no objections here.
ReplyDeleteWe set off fireworks when we were up in Minnesota. It was fun but the mosquitoes carried off Paul so now I'm hosting auditions for a new brother. (Just kidding, but they were bad.)
I love it when people quote statistics badly trying to prove that kids today are all lazy and stupid and have no respect. Me and my dad were listening to some talk radio station up in Minnesota where a guy was talking about how we were the "Charlie Sheen generation" and that we had no motivation and we love the Sheenster so much because he doesn't do anything and we still say that he's "#winning."
Except that's stupid. Fortunately the other person on the show came on and said that wasn't fair and that they had a lot of people that worked at the station that were really motivated young people.
Also, the reason people love Charlie Sheen isn't because he walked away from his job and shirked his responsibilities. They love him because his self destructive spiral out of control was just so goddamn much fun to watch. It's no like they idolize him.
Anyway, that got away from the point here a little which is that FIREWORKS ARE AWESOME!!! WHOO!
mm, I'll admit that some of the people in our generation are lazy, no-good douchebags, spiraling out of control with their own issues with identity, lack of a future, ever-rising expectations, and drowning themselves in alcohol and drugs to numb themselves of reality, but c'mon, every generation has those people. And can you really blame the generation themselves? I believe the generation was raised by the prior generation. 别小看我们，OK? 我们没有那么差。 (Sorry, I didn't know how to say what I wanted in English, so I said it in Chinese instead.)
ReplyDeleteI mean, the problem here isn't the kids' lack of motivation, but their declination in taste. Jeebus, kids, really? Bieber? Gomez? Cyrus? Those three brothers lying about their virginities? You guys can do better than that. And hey, don't point fingers--Nsync and the Backstreet Boys are ten times better than those little Disney snots.
I mean, oops. What?
Take a rhetoric class, doucheface. That's a generalization fallacy. And a twisted, weak way to present the facts. I would suggest taking rhetoric with Chris Vinsonhaler. She's awesome. And you learn shit. And your arguments won't be shit.
The end.
