Just because you're older and your "experience" consists of some degree and several years behind a desk being "safe", does not imply that you know more than me or are by any stretch of the imagination more knowledgeable then I am. So stop bashing my friends and myself for going out and partying, drinking, smoking, getting tattoos, or whatever the hell we decide to do today. We are actually the future for this world and some day will be deciding where you live, and how much "retirement and care" you will receive monthly. Something can be said for real life experience; So why we are out getting it, you can hold on to the world. One day we will inherit it whether you like or not. It is a lot easier passing anti-abortion or anti-contraception laws when you haven't been out experience the kind of heart break both can bring. It is easy to pass a law taxing someone who barely makes enough to live, unless you have been that person. It is very hard to pass strict federal loan laws that make it extremely difficult for students such as myself to get into college and make a living without any student loans. If you consider the "real" world working... How about a full-time job and school on top of that? So keep judging this generation, and telling us we will fail, because we won't. There is a reason we are taking our time to speak up, and that's because you haven't finished hearing yourself talk yet. When you are done, we will not only show you what is wrong but we will walk you through it. My generation is going to get all of them problems you left us in this world, but I don't have a problem with the young kid next to me, or the gangster walking down the street. We all know things need to change, the only ones who don't know are the ones who have to power to change things. So continue on, when it is my time I will stop drinking, and smoking, and getting tattoos because we realize when it is time to be serious. Now excuse me, Mam or Sir (because I am polite), I have a plane to jump out of so I can see the world in a different view.
