The old/young divide
78 Answers
Has anyone else noticed the animosity between the two groups yet? So far seen ideas ranging from stocks and bootcamps to hanging and murder for young teen rioters and this isn't just inclusive of the rioters as at other times the generalization of "chav" is usually spat out by an older generation individual at "Todays youth" the young are not much better with no respect, name calling which I can't even repeat here and the end result is them "throwing granny" into a care home at the first point they can. Why is there so much anger/hatred/animosity towards each other? We all were young once and most of us will become old but many of us seem to forget this and become extremely detatched with this fact. Do we need to reeducate the young about respect and do we need to reeducate the elders that not all youths are strange violent animals?

Sqad I've seen many elder people become detached almost as if the youth are an alien breed and then they are treated as such, but this road also goes two ways with the youths thinking they'll never get old and elder people have came from another solar system.
Has it always been like this or just in this day and age?

Young once ? Being young is unavoidable. Behaving badly is assumed to be under control of your willpower, and so is a choice you are held responsible for.
The problem you highlight is to do with looking at a group rather than individuals and decribing the group as a whole. Unfair to some individuals. Problem is it's probably necessary to get a handle on obvious problems. Otherwise you're overwhelmed from the start.

'shoot them at birth'. 'What, and waste a good bullet'. You do realise this was banter and not serious don't you ? It sometimes amazes me what some seem to take seriously, and on occasion respond inappropriately because of that viewpoint.
But yes, I will go along with the idea that there has been a lot of flippant remarks recently about the subject. I think it is one way folk have of coping with this sort of outrage.
