Put an end to popups!

Although speer has a history of being… ugggh I don't know how to put this… easily mockable… these most recent mockeries of him have been neither witty nor original. Making fun of names by saying "wateefo" makes fun of the person making the joke more than it does of ridiculous names.
"In my acceptance speech as Senior Class Pres, I said something to the effect of the student council's increase of income will lead to "mo money, mo probems" to curry the favor of these types of kids. Ugh."
#1 - Never curry favor in your acceptance speech… they've already voted you in for chrissake!!!
#2 - Don't diss that song: it's great!
One last point… better they act like they're from the ghetto than they're from the country club, in my opinion. My ranking from most to least annoying.

Middle class republicans
Libretarians

I went to high school in a place that could be reasonably called a ghetto, so some ghetto-isms have rubbed off on me. For instance, "y'all" (which also happens to be a redneck-ism ) and to a lesser extent "yo." 'Course, most other ghetto-isms I use only facetiously.

The cure is simple. If all of the adults start dressing up like gangsters and talking and acting like they do then the kids will act and dress up like middle class, respectable citizens so that they can be rebels...

By the way, has anyone noticed how most rebels become exactly like each other? Rebellion is often nothing but another form of peer pressure. Few people have the guts to be true rebels for a real cause. I have known a few though. For example this one teenager I knew before he went to prison noticed me when I got a job there. He yelled out accross the dining hall in front of all the other inmates, "Hi Ray!". He knew the risk he was taking by respecting a cop like that but he did it anyway because he didn't care what other people thought. A rebel (in the good sense of the word) doesn't care what his friends think. I know a lot of "rebels" but most of them are just sheep.

I think that many of the affectations that young people have put on through the ages are a sort of defense mechanism stemming from their uncomfortable position of being half way between adult and child in status. They feel like a sort of underclass, so they put on the trappings of a underclass.

The most important question has yet to be asked.

Why do you care?

What, should they all have Southern accents, drive pick-ups, and wear white hoods? BTW, for your information, they are not "acting Black" you racist little cracker, they are acting hip-hop, which is a multi-racial, multi-ethnic culture, and it's global.

Get off your high horse and stop worring about how other people act if it's not hurting anyonce else. You know it's called business, get some.

The teens I knew and know would just laugh at their parents and keep acting like they've always been acting, like normal human beings.

You mean like jazz? alternative? punk rock? and recently Rap? They all started as a one form or another to break away from mainstream only to be one itself. I don;t find that their genuine-ness has been tainted just because they have become part of the main stream, but in many cases, it does.

I like talking physics to my colleagues and appending everything with a "G" or "dog"...


I do that as well. I say something to the line of "You must be trippin boy, why is this ni--a (referring to equation) over that ni--a?" LOL Physics has never sounded more exciting.

For great literature on group psychology (ie Sociology) and peer pressure, read Chocolate Wars and the "Crucible".

It is one thing to be a sheep and know it. It is quite another to think you are a rebel while actually being led about by your friends. The sheep thing seems to be a part of human nature and I think we are all subject to it to some extent. Even hermits probably read books about other hermits and do what they did.
