I got involved in a debate regarding UK schools on a footy forum, so wondered what you guys thought.


The population is growing massively, the IT sector is beginning to dry up with the introduction of cloud/virtualisation and theres only so much content creation and keeping the lights on necessary.

More worryingly is the population is being fed cretin child after cretin child to breed another cretin child, I daresay Jeremy Kyle is actually starting to paint an accurate picture on certain areas within the country, more-so in 5/10/15/20 years.

From my own experiences more increasingly the next generations attitude to sex is to use a kind word hedonistic, with an ever growing number with an image and attitude problem thats spiraling into the ridiculous, with an alarming number thinking theyre actually popstars or gangsters.

Whats even worse is theres a huge chunk who will sit and moan about foreigners coming into the country and taking their jobs, from the comfort of a wetherspoons chair on a Tuesday afternoon.

But thats not where the lack of responsibility stops, you get party after party being in charge who dont actually give a toss and are just content with blaming the predecessors, or setting up a fall for the next mugs in the seat out for a few tasty backhanders.



Cynical? oh yes, put me down for a slice.

Ill take a slice too.

The really sad fact is that there is a general corruption - in every sense of the world - of society and our ever growing population and attachment to the media is what allows this to grow.

I try not to worry about it all as theres nothing to be done to stop it happening, my vote eventually counts for nothing as you pointed out, I cant do anything about the financial situation, I cant do anything about North Korea and the other nutter countries either.

Give it another five or ten years, China will be the dominant superpower and the west will be pandering to the East I reckon. Or well be heading for some sort of cultural revolution, its all boom/bust, boom/bust.

Part of me agrees wholeheartedly, and another part is left thinking this is what each generation has thought since probably the turn of the 20th century, if not earlier.

The bit I think needs changing is we need population control, but everything else is evolution of society.

Zypder is right, every generation says the same thing about the younger generations.

Truth is, were all richer than before, the IT sector is booming in this country - you can get a job in 15 minutes in london.

Hardline National Socialism is what we need.  And you can run a successful society under NS without the racism aspect.

Out of curiousity, which countries have tried this successfully ?

This stuff makes me laugh. The people who suggest it always think that all the bad things that happen in governments like that will always happen to someone else.....

Its a bit unfair to be putting the blame onto the younger generation.
The thing is, the media like to over exaggerate, so if one cretinious douche decides to beat up an old woman, then suddenly every teenager is painted to be a waste of space, jobless, binge drinking lout.
But the thing is, I dont actually know anyone like this. Okay, so I dont exactly associate myself with these types of people commonly known as chavs, but there are plenty at my college.

It seems now the way people deal with all of lifes problems is to push it onto the teenagers of now, and blame them, because after all they are just living off hard working tax payers money and popping out illiterate kids by the millisecond arent they?

Its not our fault the government is full of up themselves snobs who couldnt give a monkeys what happens to everyone else as long as they have their lovely country estate where they can go shoot partridges or whatever it is they do in their spare time.

I want to be a journalist. Not one of those investigative reporters that work for the Daily Mail, I actually have a conscience, so Im going through 2 years of college. Then Ill go through 3 years of university at the now increased price of hundreds of billions of pounds or whatever the ridiculous amount is, and then Ill go through another to do my NTJC, and after all these years of trying my hardest I still probably wont get a job, Ill just end up working in Tesco or somewhere. But thats okay, because thats what society expects of me anyway.

But then again, Im not even old enough to vote yet, so I guess I just dont get a say in my future.

I think the blame culture we are living in has a lot to do with a lot of the things which are perceived as the ills of the country, while Im not saying people as a rule are bigoted, when your exposed to it day after day in the press and other popular culture some of it is bound to rub off on you.  

It's always somebody's fault, at the moment it is the young, immigrants, people on benefits ... Im a bit older than most of the regular posters on here so remember the 80's, under Thatcher the fault in popular culture was with people who worked in industries such as mining, shipyards and travellers. Who like today's easy target groups are dragging the rest of us hard working people down!

"Aw bull #@%$, man. Come on Vern, the kids havent changed, you have! You took a teaching position, cause you thought itd be fun, right? Thought you could have summer vacations off...and then you found out it was actually work...and that really bummed you out."

Its this ever growing number thats the concern.

Could it be that only the dumb people get press? and that the smart younger generation are just not covered at all? If thats the case then surely its not all bad...

IT sector isnt drying up for those of us heavily involved in cloud computing and virtualisation!

Web design and anything web based or mobile at all in fact are still booming in fact, I do have to wonder how long that will last though.

We know they are out there because at the other end there are the brilliant minds working in medicine, engineering, physics at places like CERN, etc. They do get press but as youve pointed out, its certainly not in the mainstream tabloids. Cheryl Cole is apparently more important than unravelling the mysteries of the universe (we know most blokes only care about unravelling the mysteries of whats in her knickers though)

Indeed I certainly dont think the current younger generations are brainless pondscum after spending 5 mins with the PHD students. If anything they make me feel like a Neanderthal.
