Young People Really Are Stupid

RE: the thread title


1. That is a given.

2. As I understand it, the human brain is not fully developed until sometime in the twenties.

a. I guess that is why teenagers and young twentysomethings do the craziest things.

Bet they can post a video link!?

:mrgreen:
 
Well, actually there's more to it than the language. It's the violence and corruption. In much of Latin America, a man can outright rape a woman and get away with it if he has $20K in bribe money available. It is an environment where all a man needs to do to be somewhat trusted by a woman is to not wear gang colors. Of course from my woman, I am told "Sim, senhor".

I know how to lay low in such a culture and be street smart, but I don't think it's an environment that most Americans would want to be forced to be comfortable with.

Of course, the feminists forget one important detail. Men can get raped too.

So women can tell you no in more than one language?
 
Now, if we can only get American leftist kids to do the same and not procreate. :)

The issue being political ideology is not an inherited trait. The American leftist kids were generally born from American rightest parents, turning leftist as they get higher education and better paying jobs away from the area of their birth
 
Well if you actually read the article you posted, you might get an idea of what some of these kids want.

Typical liberal BS. What is it they want? The planet warms. Get over it. Get used to it. What are their solutions?
 
I think it illustrates that this newer generation is more responsible, aware and concerned about the environment and the future of the planet. They're willing to sacrifice having children in order to spare them from the effects caused by our generation ****ing up the environment purely for political reasons. They're also aware that the planet is already so overcrowded that people are dying from famine and disease.
 
We've got young adults from Canada, Sweden, Germany, etc all pledging to not have children unless their countries take serious action on climate change. LOL. I mean we're talking about Canada, Sweden, Germany, and other tree hugger countries who were part of the Paris Accord. What in the hell is it these people want? I am personally glad that these idiots aren't going to be passing on their DNA. Let their breed die out.




No future, no children: Teens refusing to have kids until there'''s action on climate change

Having children is stupid. So, in some ways, it's good that so many stupid people are around having them. But, that's their problem.
 
Typical liberal BS. What is it they want? The planet warms. Get over it. Get used to it. What are their solutions?

Perhaps not having children IS the solution? Fewer citizens means fewer consumers of fossil fuels, fewer producers of carbon emissions.
 
Those countries will no doubt take action on climate change. Places like Mexico, Brazil, and the United States may not. The end result of that will be continued climate change, perhaps to the point that even US "conservatives" will have to admit it's real. Of course, by then, it will be too late to do much about it. We're just going to have to live with climate change, sorry.

Most people on the right do not deny climate change. That is a complete lie. Even Trump has acknowledged it at times and yet the left would rather play clips of him saying that it is a hoax because it plays into their hyper-partisanship better. One of the main reasons Trump took us out of the Paris Accord was that it put an unfair burden on the US to fix a global problem. We shouldn't have to be footing the bill for every third world country on the planet and putting our workers out of work to save the entire planet while other countries either cheat or don't contribute their fair share. The left are never going to get anywhere attacking the right for nonsense and claiming that the right deny climate change. If the left want to have a civil conversation on the subject then don't come up with generalized crap like these kids do, who seem to offer no solutions other than I want my kids to live. Well, no duh!

What are their detailed demands for agreeing to have children? Do they acccept mere lip service or do they want detailed policies? If so, what detailed policies do they want and at what cost? These countries were already serious about climate change in the first place and yet these kids are attacking their own tree hugger countries as if Trump was their president.

Most people understand that the Earth is warming but there is debate as to how much man is actually responsible, how much man can actually do about it, and how much it would actually cost. How can the left expect to have a serious conversation with the right when they want to eliminate meat, cars, airplanes, and want to rebuild every home in the US right up to the highest skyscraper? I mean, get serious. If you want to make a serious proposal then make a serious proposal. Don't give us the totally insane Green New Deal. We're not going to renovate every building in America. Both sides provide cherry picked, exaggerated criteria to support their position. Again, if the left want to have serious discussion on the issue then you have to be serious and in touch with reality and not just call the other side names because they don't sign on to the left's "trumped up" agenda.

Moderate Right: "Young people are really stupid. What in the hell is it these people want?"

You really blew it in the opening post didn't you?
 
Why should they have kids? They're expensive as all hell and thanks to this ****ty country there is no medical coverage in place for everyone, and no one gets paid leave to build a family.

The sole incentive is to work.

So why should they have kids?

Let's hear it, cons. Why should they have kids?

Do you have kids?

How much did footing the bill for the Montreal Protocol cost you, and how much of a burden has it been in the thirty years since Reagan ratified the single most important, and effective, climate change agreement in history?

Consider this a boon in disguise. If these indoctrinated morons don't reproduce it will increase the overall intelligence of the entire species.

More rainbows and unicorn farts. These kids need to get a grip on reality. The world changes - every damn day. Their desire to keep the world static is indicative of mental illness.
 
It's because the cost of living is much cheaper south of the border. And the standard of living much lower as well.

So, you're saying income inequality is a good thing? It's better to be poor in the US while we have billionaires because it is better than being poor in Guatemala.

Not "most people" - NOBODY has ever denied that climate changes. It is a completely bogus claim by leftists (and you will notice that it is ALWAYS the left) to shut up their opposition by deliberately lying and making claims they never made.

We shouldn't have to be footing the bill for every third world country on the planet and putting our workers out of work to save the entire planet while other countries either cheat or don't contribute their fair share.
That is the entire purpose behind their Marxist Man-Made Global Warming scam - redistribution of wealth.

I hope you understand that these children are indoctrinated products of the left. A very common theme among leftists is to use children to support their cause. Remember the Hitlerjugend?

Most people understand that the Earth is warming but there is debate as to how much man is actually responsible, how much man can actually do about it, and how much it would actually cost.
Or whether man is involved at all. It is the ultimate hubris to believe a single species could have any effect on global climate.
 
I think it illustrates that this newer generation is more responsible, aware and concerned about the environment and the future of the planet.

Agreed with your first part. You're giving them too much credit for the last part. But, if man is responsible for global temperature increases, it is due to all human activity and as long as the population grows, the problem will get worse no matter how much we fight it. It will be a losing battle no matter how "green" we become. Decreasing the world's population might help solve the problem but that is not what these kids have in their minds. They have a tree hugger agenda and they aren't going to contribute to decreasing the world's population as some form of altruistic moral obligation they feel to save the planet. They are only using it for attention regarding their tree hugger agenda.
 
Perhaps not having children IS the solution? Fewer citizens means fewer consumers of fossil fuels, fewer producers of carbon emissions.

That's exactly right. Assuming that man is actually responsible for global warming and that it is not just a coincidence, which being a coincidence is entirely possible, then the population of man on the planet is the single biggest factor in man made global warming and the only way to stop it would be to decrease man's presence on the planet because, if you don't, we will never win the battle, no matter how green we become. We can fight global warming until the cows come home (pun intended) and never win the battle while human population explodes.

What does that have to do with anything? First, the Paris accord allowed global temps to increase. Second, the Paris Accord required the US to pay in for third world countries. Third, The US was going to lose jobs to help save the entire planet. Fourth, the US can contribute just as much to climate change without having to put in for third world countries or make up for cheating countries.

Now if the US could attack climate change only for the US only and to hell with the rest of the world, then it would be easier to have a debate on the subject. It's not our obligation to save the entire planet.
 
Yeah but I can't tell if they are paid actors or not :) We'll find out during the election I guess.

That's just plain ridiculous. Of course their are young people who support Trump. To deny so only shows how closed minded you are.
