Nah. The Internet is just like life. You have to work your way up the pecking order. Treat people with respect and it generally gets reciprocated. FOTM wasn't even here for five minutes and he was sizing up some of the regulars with stupid comments. Go back and have a look at some of the stuff he said about Kiki for instance.

Imo he's learning an important lesson about life. Something that he probably should already know, but obviously doesn't. You have to find all the boundaries first before you can step over them.

Cyber bullying rules.

FOTM, give me your lunch money. You can pay via paypal. Kthnx.

Kids who commit suicide after reading some sh*t online - softcocks

Kids nowadays are way too soft. I blame technology. When I was a kid, if someone had an issue with me, we'd punch seven shades of sh*t out of each other until it was resolved and then move on. Nowadays, if someone has an issue with someone else, they tell all their facebook friends and then form a group and the nice person who is the butt of that group generally gets all ancy about it and necks himself.

Most of these kids are just looking for an excuse to kill themselves tbh.

problem - Someone picks on me on the internet
solution - commit suicide

problem - bored and nothing to do
solution - commit suicide

problem - not sure of sexuality and no one will accept me if i'm gay
solution - join an afl club or commit suicide

If these kids actually spoke to someone about their problems instead of sitting in their bedroom and brooding about them, everything would be resolved. In short, get your kids into sport. Something hard like league and they'll either be too worn out from training and playing to worry about anything else, or if they do have issues, they'll have plenty of mates around to solve them with.

Parents don't equip their kids with the tools to deal with lifes issues anymore.

 

[madunit]

i reckon a year in the bush would fix all these spoilt little merkins up real good.

No shops and malls to hang around in, you spend your free time playing sport or working.

Most importantly, you learn to work with real people, and the internet is either unavailable, or too friggin slow to be of any use, so you find other things to do instead.

I don't really blame technology. I blame society. Media especially, the term softcock should be used for the music preaching to kids these days. But bloody hell things are changing.

The only reason I didn't play competitive team sport when I was a kid was because my parents couldn't afford it. But still, that didn't stop a bunch of mates getting together to play cricket in the drainage areas. That was 12 or so years ago...long ago when you think about it.

Generation Z are a new breed. That's all that can be said. They think they're the kings, they know better and know what's cool imo.

Either that or a year in the Army. Might resolve some of the issues we have around childhood obesity as well.

The legal system doesn't help either.

Little Johnny falls off the monkey bars at school and scratches his knee nowadays and his parents sue the school for $4.3million plus legal fees.

They even want to start putting warning labels on beer now ffs. Does anybody take responsibility for their own actions anymore?

 

[madunit]

man my parents had f**k all money, but we always managed to find sports teams for me to play in.

I'd go and do some work on my grandparents farm and they'd pay my yearly fees in return.

Everything is easy to achieve if you show a bit of initiative and don't give up on things the second it gets slightly tough, which is what todays kids do.

hence, they are all softcocks

Good point mate. Nothing is our own fault. When I was young, if Little Johnny was hurt, we'd make sure he was ok, then we would all laugh about it in 20 minutes. Then he'd probably assist in someone else falling off...that was in the f*cking 1990's...Gen Z...see...these days weren't that f*cking long ago.

I have heard the term "when I was your age" often, I can't believe people in my generation (Gen Y) are already using it, because of the drastic idiotic change Gen Z are making to this world.

Well said. I mean, I can't say I lost much for not playing sports, but hell there were many good times, even before we learnt about video gaming. Still, I'm not dependent on that, I can always find something else to do if I'm bored at home. I would love for my kids in the future to be able to play sports, never know unless you give them a crack at it.

 

[Non Terminator]

I'll even go ahead and say this. FOTM ain't a softcock. He might say something stupid, but he doesn't whinge, he just continues. That's why I'm glad not many younger people are on these forums full stop.

Let me ask something to people of all ages.
Do you still, to this day look at the kids and utter to yourself "sh*t...did I used to be like that?"

Every day I catch the earlier train home when its packed with obnoxious school kids. It serves to remind me of just how old I am getting
