Seriously, I learn alot of new vulgarities from the kids everyday![/quote]Yes, I had stumbled across some young mummies' blogs for their babies and gosh! The F words and other vulgarities were used freely too!! -

Honestly, I'm less disturbed by the language than the message she was trying to bring across - that people only care about a person's death out of hypocrisy. It's too cynical a view for a young soul to put forth. -

Alot of youngsters like to \"act tough\" and \"talk tough\" to seem grownup.dimsum:

In fact if they behave like that on the streets with the language and mindset, I will no longer be surprised if other hot-blooded youths respond to it like the 369 gang.ChiefKiasu:

I am not sure if there is an increase of such youths but internet certainly brings across many examples through their blogs. What is the point of going through tertiery education and not learn the art of living? And as Chief has put it, at times it is at the expense of being infamous to get traffic to their blogs... that is also another warped value. -
ChiefKiasu:
Same. I'm stunned by her cynicism. Is it the generational gap? Are our young so lost different from us?dimsum:

There is a post in which she complained about having spent $21.5 for cabfare to the poly, but it was for the wrong day, so she felt she should get some compensation. Why this sense of entitlement? She could be that teacher who sued MOE all over again. -
I was offline and seems like a blessing in disguise, to miss the vulgar words used in some article.
Watched the news on CNA last night and found it rather disturbing that his friends were harrassing the reporters as the hearse passed. The reporters were just doing their job right ? :? Why must the youngsters be doing things like that ???
Anyway, I'm glad that the youths have been charged formally and they have been shamed. It's so ridiculous those youths are out to make trouble by bringing choppers around. :x -

Scenario one - Overheard at McD drive-in - young girl asked her bf: \"why stupid McD breakfast extend only until 12 noon during weekends? We were out all night and I want to sleep in and eat breakfast at 3pm, cannot meh?\"Same. I'm stunned by her cynicism. Is it the generational gap? Are our young so lost different from us?

Scenario two - I wanted to take leave and my boss said to me: \"your leave is an entitlement, not a privilege, please don't abuse it.\"
Wait till these youngsters grow up and waddle waist deep in corporate bs. -

Breakfast at 3pm ? :x This girl is beyond hope...she is the stupid one, not McDonald's. She should be eating TUNCH - lunch and tea.

hahaha, Last weekend, I wanted to buy a lunch meal for my gal at 1130 and McD told me, sorry , breakfast ends at 12pm on weekends. I was like, why? used to be 11am right? Why would anyone buy breakfast at 11 plus? Now I really see the generation gap. The early bird which catches the worm is dead. :rotflmao:

I wouldn't be eating breakfast meal at 11am...would prefer something 'heavier'.

best for both groups if McDonald’s can serve both breakfast & lunch between 11am to 12pm.

This 'sleep late and wake up late' syndrome seems to be the lifestyle of many youngsters nowadays..many of my friends' teenaged kids are doing that...they give the excuse that they are the generation Y and it's their lifestyle...We need to accept their way of living! :?
I, for one, will not buy this argument... I still believe in 早睡早起,身体好!
This lifestyle will likely to take its toll on the youngsters' health in the years to come :lol: -
I'm on the side of Darren's friends (Darren's case)
I mean, the family does NOT want pictures to be taken, and it's a private affair. The parents have the say over what theyw want to do. The reporters have no right to infringe personal space, just for their pittance of money. If that's their mindset, then they are a bit :siao:
Heartless people, reporters. This reminds me of Princess Diana. Paparazzi chasing them on motorcycles, that's why Henri Paul was going faster than usual. And when the reporters saw Diana, Dodi Fayed, and Henri Pal dying and whispering for help, they didn't do anything, they just took pictures. If I were there, I would obviously help Di first. Anybody with brains would do that.
Sometimes I feel reporters are not human, they just do any dirty work for $$$$.... -
