Food, Drink & Dining Out Kids these days

[Plugger35]

You only have to look at football from previous decades to see how much taller men have become in general, ruckmen back in the 60s were the height of some of the midfielders today.

How’s she doing so far?

She's pregnant so she will probably be taking maternity leave soon which is something you don't expect for a PM.

People aren’t taller than their parents. It doesn’t work that way. My dad and his side of the family are 6’0 plus and here I am a manlet.

yes your sample of one outweighs 100 years of statistical trends.

I suppose deaf people have s**t taste in music as well.

People who lack the sense of smell are all smug campaigners and walk around like their s**t don't stink

Enjoy dying young. Chicks don’t respect you just because you’re tall, no matter what Stratton Gun says. Shouldn’t you be taping over your webcam or something? Ffs

I'm a big fan of mute people,they never talk s**t.

If I met a deaf dumb and blind kid I'd be disappointed if they weren't good at pinball.

p1: people are taller than their parents
p2: food is becoming more plentiful
c1: future generations won't continue this trend in 20 years

Over the last 150 years the average height in industrialised nations has gone up by 10cms but seems to have leveled off.

Btw the average male height in the US is still not 6 feet.

We aren't turning into a race of giants. Go out in public and look around.

Sure a lot of athletes are bigger and faster than they were 20 years ago but your average person in the street is getting heavier not taller these days

People with no sense of taste are horrible dressers.

would be good if you provided some actual evidence for your claims

I think I've lost the ability to identify teens. I either see them as kids or college age young adults. I'm rarely in teen-dominant environments, they just don't really pop up on my radar anymore. It's like fate guides us to walk down different sides of the street, or get out and about at different times of the day. I guess an age group I've developed an ambivalence to over the years, to the point of mystery.

I would probably need a police lineup of various age groups to help identify them, otherwise wouldn't know them from a bar of soap.

I'm 44 and I hang out with teenagers all the time and they all think I am super-duper cool because I always wear my Simpsons "Eat My Shorts" t-shirt and Star Wars cap.

You could do some actual research instead of believing every conspiracy you find on YouTube as well you know

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Yeah I can't say I interact with teenages very often these days, but I assume they're mostly dickheads. We all were when I was a teenager, so I don't see why the current crop would be any different.

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

LOL someone talking about how much youths of today suck- groundbreaking. Missed your true calling as a baby boomer.

That's bizarre I'd never heard of this until an hour ago, was watching karl pilko talk about it now I've seen it again, like the dam wall has just burst...

Not only were the players less good back then but player development was pathetic compared to now (less time and money). Tall athletic teenagers are channeled into the AFL system today.

 

[Bomberboyokay]

Hold onto your horses mate, we've got to convince the boomers to f*** off first and that's proving easier said than done.

Don't worry mate they will die off eventually

This is actually a problem affecting people's lifetime earnings. Baby boombers aren't retiring/dying fast enough so their younger colleagues can't take higher positions.

When did waxing about 'kids these days' become the realm of the 23 year old?

SA is younger than I am?

SA wants dem kids off his lawn.
With their new age hipster attitudes.

Yeah, but try saying that to your parents.

 

[kickazz]

Yeah they listen to s**t music and are too easily offended. They also struggle to engage in topics of conversation where a viewpoint contrary to their own requires consideration.

Of course I'm generalising. That's what this thread is about, I'd hope nobody gets to worked up about it! Some positive generalisations is that I think they genuinely are more socially responsible, they walk the talk of the previous generations here. (Environment, etc). They are less racist. I like that they dress well, I loved the nineties but * me the photos are embarrassing.

The social media / lack of "general social skills" is one I'm not sure of. I don't know enough about it but some of the things you hear are worrying. Online bullying on the one hand is very worrying, in that you can't get away from it. But it's the enabling of narcissism that is the worst, * me these folks will crash hard when they realise the big wide world doesn't care about them. Mental illness is rampant now? Just you wait.

More than ever, young people need to learn the value of fewer, meaningful relationships, over pithy social rankings. Be special to special people in your life. Don't give a * what the masses think cos they don't give a * about you.

Yeah I dunno, height helps with the chicks, unless you've got 150 kg of fat to go with it #mwnn
