The America you remember is different from the one your parents remember and different from the one their parents remembered.
While I do admit things seem pretty bad, literally every generation has thought the new generation was useless / hopeless.
Yes it’s changing, but there is still hope.

As my daughter is in 9th grade, I see and talk to her and her friends.
Now granted it’s a small sample size, but I don’t think the teenagers today are as hopeless as everyone thinks they are.
Sure they have terrible taste in music. But the rest of the outlook on the future still looks bright.
Just because Generation Z might have a different outlook on the future, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad. And if their views don’t align with “tradition” does that automatically mean they are wrong?

Lenin once said, "First attack their history". Isn't that what is happening in the US today? They teach schoolchildren that our ancestors were racist scum. What better way to discourage them from having children, or at least White children?
By attacking the Founding Fathers and our ancestors they demoralize us and manufacture our consent for our own demise.

We are literally living in 1948 China. Struggle Sessions, Political Prisoners, Mass Censorship, Civil Rights vanishing, etc.
Oh really?
Yes Actually!!!
I guess my daughter has been going to a different school then, because that sure isn’t in her curriculum.
Must not be public!
Hope I can end that way with me/us moving closer to grandsons.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. I was commenting on how quickly things are changing, not about how bad anyone thinks it is today. My post was referring to things like electronics, social media, kids not playing outdoors, all the Moms now work, etc., etc. This was not intended to be political or a diatribe about today's youth.
Mirglip, I really don't get your doom and gloom outlook on life. Sounds to me like there is not much hope in your life. I'm sorry you feel that way, it must be depressing.

Shoot, I was getting all riled up for a good debate too.
But if you want to tell the women of today to go back to the kitchen, more power to ya. I think I’ll skip that conversation.
It is too true. An old one I still laugh at because it is funny and also you wonder about what types are growing up now:
I am in agreement about the not learning about anything that doesn't have digital in the name and a remote. I am glad that my Niece and Nephews still love getting out and just enjoying the beauty of nature.
My husband will tell to keep me OUT of the kitchen. My marble rolling pin is in there and his head is a great target!Shoot, I was getting all riled up for a good debate too.

Hard to answer without a definition of what "our" generation is. There's good people here in their 20's and people here that are way off base in their 80's. We have everything else in between here.our generation will be the last that remembers traditional America? Kinda scary isn't it?
Once again, is it colder in the winter or in the mountains?

Sorry to double post ... I have an 8th grader that listens to and plays '70's and '80's music, a 10th grader that is not that far off base and understands traditional family, and two in college that are generally okay ... we all wonder a little. The difference is we don't trust the school system to raise our kids.
Tradition says we make stupid rules about what kind of hat you wear after Labor Day ... a "holiday" made up by union sucking commies. Nope. Tradiation says it's okay to start one topic a month making fun of others' appearance. Nope. Stay in your lane on the stuff that does not matter. OP asked a bad question.

I’m glad your kids listen to good music. Some of the stuff my daughter listens to is good. Most of it really. Just different from the music I like. But for some reason Queen is ok for her.
As for the school system? That’s a whole other topic.
And kids can’t play outside till the street lights come on, somebody would drive up in a van and kidnap them. That’s life today.

I kinda miss the Engine of the Month Club!!!
I’m sitting here watching an old James Bond movie and thinking about this thread.
My two dogs look very similar to each other. When people first see them they always ask if they are brother and sister.
It always gets a good laugh but my wife says: “No, they are from a modern family. Same dad, different moms.”
