Like, know what I'm saying? Like yeah, so totally, like.

I'm just curious... is anyone else scared to death of how the current crop of 16-20 year old people are going to contribute to our future?

I was sitting at a local grub-slinging establishment tonight, and started listening to the conversations that were going on around me.

Everything from, "like, so I got my, like, paycheck today, and like, the fuckers, like cheated me 2 hours... I think"... to, "I oughtta move to Florida, ya know what I'm saying, because fuck Ohio, ya know what I'm saying, Ohio blows, ya know what I'm saying, shit. Man, ya know what I'm saying, fucking Ohio. My baby's daddy is down there, ya know what I'm saying?"

What in the Hell happened to schools over the past x amount of years? Do you suppose that every generation thinks that their predecessors are retards? Or, is this current group of barely-passed-the-proficiency-tests scholars actually this freaking ignorant?

I'm 15, do I count too, and besides, at my school, it's mostly the white kids that talk like that.

[Suislide]

i'm sorry but that's a very prejudiced generalized statement to say that every 16-20 year old is like that and will have the same effect on society.

i am 19 years old and do not in any way talk like that.

[-Josh-]

I hear that kind of crap all the time... Pisses me off, i feel like walking up to them and slapping them across the face, give them the ole five across the eyes..

[95dxcivic]

I didnt mean to offend anyone with my post, sorry if I did.

[93rollaracer]

those are the people that the normal ones won't let have an effect in the future. they're probably not too smart if they're still talking like that, and the smart people generally take care of them

[Andydg]

Yeah...I'm 18 and I don't talk like that at all, I don't think. If I did I would hate myself.
Seriously though, I don't personally even know anyone that talks like that, I hear people talk like that but I don't even know their names.

[ec437]

Don't worry, the smart ones are the ones that will be in charge. All the degenerates you speak of will be doing unskilled labor

[Gotti]

i dont talk like that but i still talk with alotta slang cause i'm an immigrant an i started learning english around other immigrants who were learning english. So we jus talk how we hear it, how other people talk.

[_WIDE_LOAD_]

i know what ya mean...i used to sit in class at high school and bag the living shit out of the people that talk like that, and the white males usually) that talk 'ghetto' speak...when they grew up in the australian suburbs, and have had it made most of their life..
ive vented, im happy for now
later, WIDE

Yes.

[clawhammer]

And not to be racist or anything...The people who live in the ghettos with the "gangster" accent, what about them. I think that annoys me a little more than that. I mean imagine someone talking like that in a business environment...

[dantheman00114]

like when keepin it real goes wrong?

[grimmy]

i hear you. especialy when these younger teenagers are walking around the mall dressed up likle little sluts. what are their parents thinking. girls didnt drees like that when iwas younger, and we didnt talk like that either. it irks me to no extent, but i try to not let it show. they will grow up soon enough, and have to exist in the real world. the ones who do will get over it, and the ones that dont will bag my groceries.

[publicenemy137]

yep society will make the idiots work the jobs that no one else wants to do. Pick up trash, dig graves, etc....
