ORIGINAL: sissyhypnoslut There will always be a small percentage of disgusting and vile people in the world, but empirical evidence clearly shows that the world has slowly become a better place as we move from decade to decade, century to century. It's hard to see that truth when the news is filled with rapes, murders, and terrorist attacks, but it IS the truth, and I invite anybody who thinks otherwise to do some research on the subject. News is filtered to grab attention and sell advertising. I have NO doubt that the world *can* be better. I simply have skepticism regarding the way in which this is done. Sure, the old farts are stuck in their ways (sorry mom, dad and every other person eligible to be AARP members that I know). But, we're talking here about a video showing predominantly YOUNGER people engaging in this behavior. The stories recounted here have mentioned the same thing. Essentially, we're speaking about the baby boomers being the *grandparents* of the majority of these people. When they die off, how will things change? Apparently, there's a group of 17 year olds in New Hampshire that thinks this is "ok behavior". In my view, it's not about the old people dying off...it's about the younger generations (mine included) taking RESPONSIBILITY, and teaching kids that this is not OK behavior. It's recognizing that past generations may have "gotten it wrong"...but also, and more importantly, actually DOING SOMETHING about it. As I have mentioned, I believe that most men...shit...most PEOPLE...in this world believe that this is absolutely wrong. So, fucking DO something about it. When the boomers die off, things will not get better...unless the younger generation actually gets off their ass and DOES something to make it so. It's all well and good to blame them for the ills of the world...but how will YOU make it better?
