These Kids Today!!! Part Deux

So over on the airsoft boards I normally frequent we have had a rash of young guys joining lately and pretty much being stupid kids. No respect whatsoever and this Generations lack of grammar and spelling ability. When I was a kid if you didn't know how to spell something, the teacher you asked handed you a dictionary and said "look it up." Now these morons text, and chat and IM each other to death and use all manner of slang and abbreviations that when it's not called for, they use it anyway!!! Anyhow, that Rants already been done, new Rant coming. One of these "shining" examples of the Future of our Country posted that he saw the movie "Black Hawk Down" recently. He said, and I loosely quote: "Black Hawk Down is a great gun movie. If you don't want to go play some airsoft after seeing I don't know what will make you.". I was stunned!!! A "great gun movie"?!?!?!?!?!?! What they Hell do they teach these kids in school today? Has our recent "TV" war made them not realize what a real armed conflict is all about? This kid is about 14-15 years old. All he gets out of a movie like "Black Hawk Down" is how cool the guns are. We're talking a movie by Ridley Scott, and excellent director who captured the horror and emotions involved in a Military Operation gone wrong. A movie about Brotherhood under fire, sacrifice, misguided political decisions, etc that is obvious to even a simple minded person and all this kid gets is "OOOO cool guns.....". I have met a few real shining examples of the Future of this Country, but I should emphasize a FEW.........
