Kids these days

Now every generation tut-tuts about the one following it. Kids these days, they are all hooligans, wasters, lazy, and so forth.

Yep that's just the way it is.

Soon people like you and me will be saying to the kids of tomorrow "would you take those blasted iPod ear-buds out of your ears while you're eating".

And there are televisions everywhere. I went to the "ideal homes" show in Dublin last week and in the show-house there was a very expensive looking bath with a big flat-screen TV at the end of the bath.

Now I thought this whole fireplace/Plasma TV in the bathroom was limited to people on MTV cribs and shows like that. Now it's aspirational for the average person.

So, instead of when you were a little kid and your parents banged on the bathroom door saying "come on, you've been in there for ages", in the future parents will be saying "how much more of that DVD is left?" from outside the bathroom.

Mental.

Anyway, teenagers are bad everywhere. Isn't that the gist of how older people see younger people. They are all out for trouble.

But what about those pesky 3 month-olds? Yep, there's a great story on Yahoo/Reuters today about how police in India arrived at a house to arrest a 3 month-old boy accused of robbing people on a bus.

I tell you, you've got to keep any eye on these youngsters.
