‎"I don't complain about the president, cause I seriously dont even care about politics. The only time I cared or complained about Obama was when he came to our school and I was pissed cause the Starbucks line was like out the door.."

This was taken from facebook where a girl said this too another girl where she then posted it on facebook. All i have to say is wow, being in college this is nothing new to see but this alone shows you how blind most college students are, worrying about the kardashians and their morning starbucks is more important to them then the demise of the American life. Pretty soon no one will be able to afford starbucks, maybe then people will start to wake up and realize. Your thoughts on this?

Well, I know there's this whole thing about how once you're 18 you're magically an adult blah blah blah and everybody expects you to suddenly be as mature as a 30 or 40 year old it seems like.

But, personally, the difference between 18 and 25 was bigger than the difference between 12 and 18. College kids are just that...most of them are really still just kids.

Once they get 21, 22 (when they have to start thinking about paying those loans, in other words), they'll start caring really quick.

to a certain point, the person who made the statement is right...

what is politics doing for anyone?... does your votes even truley count? NO

seriously "voting" for a new person wont change a damn thing, america...actually the WORLD as we know it is on a predisposed path, a self fulfilling prophecy..

"the president" "congress" the "supreme court" have nothing to do with the choices being made for america...no..those who are making those choices YOU or i will NEVER see


besides college kids are too lazy, and busy with their smart phones, and their ipads, and angry birds to care anyway

all that this new generation of "ME! MEE! GIMEE GIMEE!!" gonna do is put the nail on the coffin

As a College student, I would really like to voice that we are not all like that. Just loudest. or the ones who post on Facebook about every little breath they take. And most importantly for the the record we are not all the gimme gimme me want kinda generation. Again its just the loudest. To generalize all people of my generation into that one persons statement is like saying all elderly are stubborn in their old ways and refuse to open their eyes or all middle age adults are bad parents who constantly put their kids in day care or over zealously smother their kids and reinforce a gluttonous attitude. Yes, I am not that old, none of us are. but instead of going "well we are doomed cause of these kids" why not find ways to give voice to the quieter ones instead of the loudest ones.
I hear quite often "oh you never grew up fighting for your rights" look at the occupy movement, not that bright, but if i remember right, the protestors of the past were seen in the exact same light of incompetence. I will admit, in terms of overall intelligence, we are all rather stupid in comparison to our elders, we have been bred to be lazy and dependent on the technology around us. Their are many of us who, as much as we may be trained to depend on our technology, do not like this at all. Not to say we want more, in fact we want less. We enjoy simplicity, creativity, working together in person, looking into the deeper simpler mysteries of life, as well as the greater problems of the world, not who Becky slept with last night or the line to Starbucks. Instead of assuming we failed you, give a little credit for those of us who are desperately trying to fix this hell bent machination that you yourselves were equally incapable of beating.

As a further note, I am deeply sorry if this is insulting to anyone, but i hate with a passion this mentality that my generation is a bunch of spoiled idiots who take the world for granted.

My son came home last weekend from University and had an interesting story to tell me. He said he was in one of his business classes and they were discussing the recent events with the global economy. Somehow they got on the topic of Russia and China could potentially become Super powers. With that, they would be targeted for their wealth. Well, a girl from China was sitting behind my son bursts out "China would crush any external threats". Now the class continues and the Professor mentions a "radical" group by name in China and another student from China lets out an audible gasp, I guess in China, you are not allowed to speak of these groups...

Bottom line, my son said "Mom, they freaked me the frig out"!
