Re: Scarface
The reality of kids today as I see it on a daily basis:
Watch TV is self tuned Science Channel, Military Channel, Fox News Channel(11 and 13)
Computer time is You Tube, video games and other entertainment with kid level disgusting things, just kid stuff
X-Box/PS time well here is where all the blood, violence, killing, maiming and other really gory stuff happens. The bloodier, and farther out there in Post Apocolyptic lands, or on the other side, real life 1st person Call of Duty, Borderelands, Fallout III, adn all the other fun is there for whatever they can spend their allowances, and other funds on.
I really can't say anything too bad since they are both very well liked and respected by their classmates and teachers. They post straight A's quarterly, and are pretty darn good citizens from what I can tell, but occasionally they do slip up and let out a
fuck, shit, dammit or some other swear word. Can't really fault them too much since I do not provide the most stellar example in the word department. Shoot, Panty 6 swears better than a Sailor so I know maybe they get it from her
For all you 'Buck Rogers' maybe a slight step into the 21st century to see what our kids are really like is needed. Take a hard look. They are much smarter that we were at that age, years advanced in the use of technology that we will never catch up with, and they can multitask better and more efficiantly that we ever thought about. They are tough, don't take any BS from their peers, and have social skills earlier than we did at a younger age. Their perceptions are as quick as ours, maybe quicker, and their ability to call BS or see false face in people is as good as ours or real close.
Way I see it, all I have to do is push a little, offer food, clothing, shelter, X-Box, and the occasional ride to the mall, and stand up to Teachers or Principals who are ignorant of the law as to what can and can't be worn as to clothing or hair style(Tinker '69, Masey vs Henry '72, several Appelate Court Decisions that have upheld the former) and I'm good. They pretty much exist on autopilot so long as they maintain the top grades and stay solid citizens. When you see that kid wearing red jeans and a black Bad Religion shirt with his iPod on, remember he is probaly ten times the student you were at his age
Dee Geee Deee Geee Dee Gee, You got it Buck?
