My age group....18-25

[Thumper]

Im going to rant...
Please put your flak jackets on now and run like hell...

We have a night club at the Casino that is open for Friday and Saturday night.

We basically just convert one of our upscale restraunts into club. This restraunt is small and circular in shape.
Theres not much room for shaking your booty or mingling. But the young'uns flock to it like a pack of wolves on a bloody decomposing animal carcuss.

Anywhoo...

Its a great time to observe the most primal human drive, mating....LOL

Christ the phermones being emited into the air is enough to gag a person...

Mixed with all the designer perfumes, cheap cigarettes and leather, I could literally breath easier in a burning chemical factory...

Now try to get a bunch of 20 something's with f*cking on the brain that are all so insecure they have to go in a pack (remember my wolf analogy?)
to form a line so that other patrons of the casino have an easier in/egress to the slots, restroom, exit (its a fire code thing)...

Yeah fricking right..

"Scuse me..but can you please move it in just a little bit? Thank you"

I repeat this a few times untill I hit a pack of females dressed to the nines....

"Excuse me, can you please just move in so that other people in the casino can get by?"

I got the Cha whateva hand in the face crap...

"Move it in"

She repeats "Move it in" With a sassy tone..

So Im like fine..at least they are on the tile..not the carpet..

So Im working my way down the line..and see her bilemic *** all hanging out of the line...and I can hear her making fun of me... Yeah you think you cops have it bad, trying being female casino security...

With a heavy sigh, I walk off.

What I wanted to say was

" You better shake that skinny *** of yours right back into the line or Im going to escort it out, right back into your car seat.."

"Move it in...Or your not getting in...End of discussion"

No sooner did she move it, the line moved up and her group was let in...

But it got me to thinking as Im watching these people...

1. Most people of my age group are mindless drones.

2. Not one of them can come up with a single thought that is all there own and not affected by MTV or their peers.

3. The IQ level seems to drop with each credit earned at college, or with each dollar spent on designer clothes.......

4. Not one of them has any style all thier own. All the visible tattoos are basically the same...shoes? Same. Colors? Same. Outfits? Same as those seen on T.V.

5. They have no concept of reality except for reality shows.

6. They have no concept of reality outside of what the liberal media tells them is true.

7. Ever watch Jay Leno's Jay Walking? Yeah...Im sorry to say its true.

8. 98.5% of my age group are not politicaly involved (They watch MTV news). The one percent that are; are flaming tree hugging liberals (because they dont know any better and take the liberal news at face value).. .25% belong to a cult, and .25% would be people like me..::: GASP :: Conservative.. Yeah, Im an *******......


Its just sad..
I hate my age group.
No ethics, no tact, no thought, no passion, they are all the same...its disgusting.

I go to the womens restroom...In the time it takes me to get my duty gear off and on again I notice the footwear of the women in the stall next to me...would have to be about 90% the same... The Emo 70's look. White low tops with three colored stripes, more often than not a shade of blue.

Ohh I just wanna hurl.

As an officer, Im one of the youngest...If not the youngest (I dont make it a habit to know everyones age)..though the day shift manager chick is 22...THats just odd... Anyways..I walk up to one of the older officers and asked...... "How do you put up with us?"

I have ZERO patience for the dolts in my age group. And even less patience for the new generation of trophy children that ride around in 40k SUVs.

You left me nothing else to say

Umm, isn't a large chunk of the people in Iraq right now from your age group? Didn't they go to Afghanistan? You are a good example of your age group and I don't think you are the minority.

I do agree that more and more young seem to have an over-inflated sense of entitlement. I think over-indulging your kid is a form of child abuse too.

I have faith in your age group. I was a child of the 80s and judging from what we wore and did....well, I grew up eventually (maybe) ;)

Hey look Orleander, we found something in which we completely agree! ***waiting for lightning strike*****

And if you do get hit, I promise not to overreact. LOL ;)

I just see so many of my son's classmates out of control with their parents. I just want to tell them "When he was 4 yrs old telling you to shut up and was hitting you, what did you say? 'Oh, he just needs a nap.' No, the kid needed discipline and you wanted to be his friend and not his parent." (I also tell them this is why animals eat their young. LOL)

When my son tells me he hates me I just tell him its not a popularity contest and he can now clean out the garage. For having a mean mouth he can go tell the mouse droppings how much he hates me. LOL 5 minutes later he's back in the house crying and apologizing.

BUT, from what I have seen of my son and his friends, I don't worry much about his age group.

Please don't let your stereotypes of these people affect the way you look at individuals. I am also in that age group, as are many police officers that you might be working with in the future. Sure some of that may be true, but you can't just assume, like with all stereotypes, that everyone in that age bracket will fall under those guidelines.

And I actually think that it is totally unfair to assume that only 1.50 percent or whatever don't fall in those areas. That is simply not true at all, and is not indicative of the lifestyle my friends and I choose to live.

[Jcrazy]

I was not like that when I was in that age group. I think you feel this way because your job puts you in contact with the people in that age group that are like that. The Ones that do not act this way are not hanging out at casino clubs.

[metallicat]

Yeah I agree with that comment. Obviously the ones going to the clubs are going to be dressed like that. When I first turned 18, me and my friends were going out to clubs every weekend. Within a couple months, that scene got old, and I started to hate it. I now haven't been to a club in probably 6 months simply because I hate the atmosphere.

[Zendik]

I was out of my mind when I was in your age group, 17 in the Army already getting yelled at by a vietnam vet of a drill sargent in the front leaning rest, in the gravel mind you, not like now dropping in the grass... I must comment on kids now days, the little ones, my friend has them in the 6-15 groups and man I would have never acted like these kids do when I was that age, incredible...
Hey there are idiots in every age group, look at me!!

[Thumper]

What I meant was..I hate people in my age that have falling victim to fashion, mating and clubbing. They have to be 21 to go to the club first of all, so one would have hoped that the entire meaning of thier existence would be something other than wasting thier money on clothes to impress people they dont know.
I can understand going to clubs when your 18..for a little while. But then you grow out of it and get on with your life.

I dont fault the ones in uniform, but thats not who I was talking about. BTW we get a few guys from the local air force at the club...they are the most well behaved well dressed young people I know...

My perecentage is in direct coralation to those I see.
At work and off work....and from all the states I have been in.
I guess I just dont understand them because I dont hang out with them... not that I would want too ...

Thanks for letting me rant...

I said I went to clubs when I was 18 because the legal age in my province in Canada is 18 to drink and go to adult places such as bars or clubs.

And I would beg to differ on that percentage being correct outside of the casino club. There is no way it is that high.

And THAT"S not easy to do! :p ;)

[neinta]

I know what you mean. Whenever I'm around a group of my peers, I feel like I'm babysitting.

[FLcop]

i'm a 19 year old conservative republican kthx :p

[Thumper]

Holy crap..welcome to the few the proud the non liberal ...LOL

Yeah I am allways babysitting my peers.....or at least I feel like I need to out in public places...

Its like my god...look at you..your dressing like a *****..have a little more respect for yourself...

May I include something here?

I was in the mall which is a rarity for me to do... and I only do it when my moms in town...Anyhow..So my mom and grandmother are shopping at this shop..Hubby and I are waiting at a bench out front eating a cookie my mom had bought us...

So Im standing there and feeling like a jack ***... munching away on my chocolate chip cookie...

Why do I feel like a jack *** you ask..

Because sitting next to my husband is this girl facing the other direction...

Shes about 17 y/o... Very heavy set and not fitting very well into the latest fashions..

You could tell she was sad, all hunched over, nervously rubbing her hands together.. she was just acting very submissive..

And I felt like a complete jackass because I made a face to my husband like..look at that cow..christ a little P/T never hurt anyone.. I actually thought that...

Which is really bad onto itself, but Im heavy set, and I was teased for it throughout my school days... And it wasnt that I was fat..I was just built big..and now Im fat..LOL

Anywhoooo.. I caught myself thinking that..while eating my cookie...And I felt so ashamed..

Here I dont even like being in a mall because it stands for everything Im not...one of which is ever looking like a typical 20 something skinny chick..

Secondly, I thought the same thing I think every one thinks about me...

When she got up...I made it a point to say hello...just a friendly hello.. and a how are you...

But I just wonder how many of the girls that probably tease her everyday have as much inner strength as she does.. She at least goes out bravely into the mall, wearing what ever she wants...

Its a war zone in the mall yah know...

I like to people watch..and I love watching human behavior..Its just fascinating...
