Depends on what a "generation" is. In my family, a generation is 30 years. I see plenty of tribes out there where a generation is 14-17 years......I think you get more issues in that "generation gap".

y...

the way I see it

the last 40 years of parenting in these United States of America has SUCKED ..

that should clear up my use of generation

maybe that's a generation and a half..

anyway ya cut .. Yes Sir and No Ma'am installed into the vocabulary of today's youth would go a long way in who can prove themselves as a parent..

but then again..that would require that the child have respect taught to them at and early age..

and that would require the abolishment of child negotiating replaced by good olde belt to the ass.

and we both know that ain't happening to all these sweet corner hanging phone sucking never want to be any things.

I've never seen that either - a bank you have to be buzzed into.

Downtown Detroit I've been in a McDonald's where the counter help took your money and served you on a lazy susan behind bullet-proof lexan plastic.

I guess that's just a sign you are hanging out in an area you shouldn't be!

only place I've been buzzed into recent years is the fine Odyssey Lounge on Fremont Street in Las Vegas. They put in the buzzer after the beloved night shift manager and bartender Terry "The Greek" Petropoulos was strangled to death there, March 8, 2004. They caught the killers.

and ya gotta get buzzed in the famous Atomic Bar (Built 1946, the oldest standing bar in Las Vegas). In the 50s, customers would stand on the roof to catch a view of the mushroom clouds from the atom bomb testing done at the the Nevada Test Site to the northwest.

the current owners of the Atomic bought it, and surrounding property, in 2013 for $500,000. They sold it the other week to Tony Hsieh's Downtown Project for $3.48 million. They will now lease the bar building from the new owners for the next several years.

Eight-year-old Mohammad entered his classroom on the first day of school.

from the UK's "Express", Published: Mon, August 12, 2013:


Changing face of Britain: 'Muhammad' is now second most popular boys? name
Variations on the name Muhammad have shown to be the second most popular boys? name in England and Wales.


The data comes from a list of 100 baby names The data comes from a list of 100 baby names

Three different spellings of the name are listed in the top 100 names for boys from the Office for National Statistics.

The first most common is Muhammad, which is in 19th place on the table.

Mohammed comes 26th and Mohammad is in 60th place.

But overall the name was given 7,139 times in 2012, just 29 behind Harry ? which took the top spot.

Surprisingly certain classic names such as John and Peter did not make the list.

In Wales, Jacob was the most popular name for baby boys, replacing Oliver.

Across both countries, Riley replaced Joshua in the top 10 most popular names for baby boys, climbing 5 places from number 13 to number 8.....

nope...Kempsville in one of the largest populations of lower /middle class incomes in the entire city

http://www.point2homes.com/US/Neighborhood/VA/Virginia-Beach/Kempsville.html

134,000 people latest google check..

I live 5 minutes from the bank..

probably 50 other banks in our Kemsville community and I would guess no others have buzz in yet..

but it's coming...

Only one of dozens of banks there with a buzzer, then it is just an outlier indicator.

Reminds me how surprised I was to be searched, present ID and be buzzed in main library on campus in Madison, WI. years ago. That's crazy, never seen that on a main campus library in a university town! Turns out they've had very heightened security since an axe murderer came slashing thru there in 1978. Hardy indicative of the overall crime and safety there...

these last 2 generations of parents have done such a great job of teaching "accountability and responsibility".

is it really much different than times past? Aren't these complaints as old as the hills?

In 1904, psychologist Granville Stanley Hall, from "The Psychology of Adolescence":

Never has youth been exposed to such dangers of both perversion and arrest as in our own land and day. Increasing urban life with its temptations, prematurities, sedentary occupations, and passive stimuli just when an active life is most needed, early emancipation and a lessening sense for both duty and discipline, the haste to know and do all befitting man's estate before its time, the mad rush for sudden wealth and the reckless fashions set by its gilded youth--all these lack some of the regulatives they still have in older lands with more conservative conditions.


From a speech to the House of Commons on February 28, 1843, Anthony Ashley Cooper, the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury, went on about:

...a fearful multitude of untutored savages... [boys] with dogs at their heels and other evidence of dissolute habits...[girls who] drive coal-carts, ride astride upon horses, drink, swear, fight, smoke, whistle, and care for nobody...the morals of children are tenfold worse than formerly.

The Atlantic, September 1907:

In the cover story, "Why American Marriages Fail," Anna A. Rogers warned, "The rock upon which most of the flower-bedecked marriage barges go to pieces is the latter-day cult of individualism; the worship of the brazen calf of the Self."


Horace, from his "Odes", written about 20 BC:

Our sires' age was worse than our grandsires'. We, their sons, are more
worthless than they; so in our turn we shall give the world a progeny yet more
corrupt.

Exactly! Times change and the old farts don't approve because it was different in their day.

My great grandparents complained about the greasers, my grand parents complained about the long hair hippie, the old farts today complain about tattoos and piercings and all the gadgets that weren't available until the last 20 years.

Live and let live. :SIB

 

[Sportsaholic]

It's so bad out there last night I was on my comp doing some online banking and they texted me to put my pants on......:0003

 

[Morris]

The only place I ever had to buzz in was the school to pick up my Grandson. I walked up pushed the buzzer and the door opened. No ID nothing.

:shrug:

 

[MadJack]

I get pissed if the bank had a new girl and asks me for my ID. I can't imagine.

I hear you, Jack, but you seem to be talking about "kids being kids". There was always a segment, and always will be, of kids who want to push the envelope. OS is talking about a mass evolution, and you can't tell me you don't notice it, too.

I am actually SHOCKED if a young person holds a door for someone, or says, please, thank you, or you're welcome. It's something that has been lost over the last few generations. The main reason is that there is no male figure teaching the youngsters anymore. Kids just raise themselves.

I wouldn't bank at a place that allowed me to withdraw funds without identification :shrug:

Think you are onto something.....

When I stay in Vegas,I shop at Cardenas.

They are a grocery chain that caters mostly to Hispanics. The piped in music is happy, joyful, pure Hispanic, close your eyes and you are in a Fiesta in old, old Mexico.
It is a place where you rarely see "Gringos" and you need a small knowledge of Spanish to get your point across...like a half pound of Ham in the deli (Un Medio), saying a half pound gets blank looks.

Hispanic families in the area of Vegas I live in, are VERY family.....more than once while shopping did I see a mis-behaving young person get the "L-o-o-k" from Mom or Dad and they would immediately clam up and behave.

Hispanic families definitely respect elders, more than once I have had a door held open for me and actually if I had just a few items, been invited to the front of the line.
Thanking them and then saying "Buenes Tardes" (good afternoon) to the one in particular, sweeet cashier with vivid, Grayish-Blue eyes gets the nod and a pretty smile.

Almost every weekend on the street behind my Vegas retreat, (Hispanic neighborhood) I would smell barbecue and a block party singing and playing guitars...this is a very happy area, based on the Cervesa cans and Sangria, Tequila bottles I see in their trash on Mondays. Again, its Family and good life.

Bottom line is it is family, respect and loving....we all know what is happening here, especially in depressed areas with one drugged out parent.
Eventually it becomes a society empty of a meaningful existence, ripe for Socialism on a grand scale.
