Mad? No, I don't get mad at petty comments people like you make.

Guess what. It's 2011. Back in the day is back in the day. Not only was respect given to elders back in the day, but racism and sexism was raging "back in the day" too. Don't forget that. We're now living in a society where everyone deserves respect. Not just elders.
I love and respect my elders with every fiber of my being, but i'd rather not exist at all in this world before I would let anyone disrespect me when all I've done through out my whole life is respect them without question trying to make them proud of me.
and then I hear all of this talk about "well if he stepped to ME, I would .." Yeah and if the older man stepped to YOU like the older man in the video, what would you have done? Let him curse you out, push you, get in your face. Would you have done what he said and left, because, after all, he IS your elder?
What's done is done. The situation is (hopefully) over, and if the older man was the one in the right, karma will come back to the kid. If the kid was the one in the right, karma looks like it came back to the older man pretty fast. I hope that the message in the end gets across as respect should be given to everyone older, and younger. There are ways to handle this situation in a much better way than the older man AND kid did.
That is all.edit on 11-6-2011 by FurthestStar because: if to in

I got a perfect example here. In my neighborhood we have a lake in a wooded area. This is a housing development so the property outline is more defined than say town homes etc.
Anyways their was a issue with kids from other neighborhoods riding their 4 wheelers around the lake leaving marks in peoples yards etc.
People complained to the HOA, the hoa put up no trespassing signs and poles to block the path so the 4 wheelers cant get through..
Guess what it worked. No more 4 wheelers and no one was cussed out, flipped off, or pushed.
The old guy should have talked to the guy as a adult instead of flipping him off and cussing him out. He should of tried to see if being nice and giving him a warning first would work.

First come first, don't come at me like that. I'm the first person to give out respect to anyone. My parents raised me right, so don't make it seem like I was raised wrong. That's what's wrong with some of the older generation today. They think they deserve respect when they are the ones in the wrong. So stop crying, because the old guy was obviously the one in the wrong here.
if you have respect for elders
if you were raised right
you would never have been in that position
at WORSE if the old man was in the wrong, and you are a young man, you couldve simply walked away and avoided the situation forever by not walking on his property
this kid was being a punk and anyone defending him or any of his actions is nothing less then a punk bottom line
the kid pushed the old man and had fun with him, he even got the little kid on it, he was training the little kid passing down the punk genes and recording it all to laugh about with his punk friends
what youre missing is, I DONT GIVE A DAMN If the old guy was racist or WRONG
hes an old man and he didnt push the kid violently
the punk kid, acted like a punk, provoked the old man and stood there the whole time making it worse and then HE is the one who got violent
if there was a cop there, and the old man pushed him to encourage him to leave his property area. the old man would be arrested yes if the cop was there
IF a cop was there and the punk did what he did, the police officer wouldve pulled his gun and shot him before the old man hit the ground with the amount of violence the kid displayed
bottom line, it was the old mans property, the kid was arguing that it wasnt, the kid had no proof either way, he was provoking the old man, and had no respect for the old mans property, any respectful young man would have already left at that point
i dont give a damn about race, right or wrong, i give a damn about respect and how NO young groups have it these days, and im only 25 years old
i LOOK DOWN ON PUNKS LIKE THIS
you respect the elderly, its one of the 1st things i ever learned in life
i look around and what do i see, no respect for anyone or anything and a world full of feces

I'm guessing they were white kids though right?
Right?
Not that it matters or anything...... I just want to know.

because the video kinda speaks for itself, however most of this thread is racial trolling. theres no debate of any kind , just people trying to gain an upperhand in an internet argument.
its fun and all, but kinda sad.
