"Whose to say that its you to blame
It's the people above you
The ones who say that they love you
Look what the world has come to
So now its time to say **** you!"

Have you ever seen the rebellion of multiple different people and wondered what would happen if they banded it all together and used it as one instead of by themselves? Do you think that anger and rage is better focused on a common goal? Would that goal be easier to achieve if all the resentment was put into that one goal and used by millions?

u mean a union?

Sing it with me, Brother...

Collective goals, unions have their own set of goals that differ from the members of that union. At least that's how it is in the states, different out there across the big blue?

I'm talking about an uprising, collectively geared in one direction with one goal.

turn and face the strange

yes, of-course! it's logical that it would!

this whole younger generation has it all backwards, they lost all respect

That would kinda be like when the black people had to fight for equality, they did it collectively, and they were full of rage, but they did it mostly peacefully, and sometimes not so peacefully. Am I right or wrong?

Sorta like the Million Man March in Washington.

ooooo now wouldn't that be lovely unfortunately joe public is spineless!

people would have to band together and we are too different and hateful toward one another to do that if ppl could put aside petty differences and do that would be one thing but first of all we would probly have to stop shooting each other in the streets for no apparent reason ...

NOT true...the younger generation has realized that so many of the so-called "ideals" of their parents were really just ways to discriminate or keep people down. they are seeing through the falsehoods and changing the future.

respect is earned, not just given.

Every generation
Blames the one before
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door

I suggest showing them the life story of Marvin Gaye

I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it.

yay press gang them

So we open up a quarrel
Between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future
Its the bitterness that lasts

Here it is...lost this thread.

Anyway, the younger generation has nothing to do with it. For the most part people in this position are older and due to the falling economy they have become angered. This is nothing like fighting for equality, and honestly, it wouldn't end anything like that either. The past is the past and what is done is done and there is nothing that can be done about that, beit mistakes or strides forward...we can't change them anymore.

We can argue left and right that the younger generation has no respect, but the same could be argued about any generation and any generation before that generation...but that won't solve anything, will it?

I just think if people collectively banded together for the same common goal more could be accomplished then seperating their goals into a category while not allowing others to help because of some useless reason such as color, culture, ethnicity, religion, etc. This world is full of hate for those reasons, our world is full of more hate than peace. We fight wars for unjust reasons while the majority just chokes it down and accepts it for what it has been portrayed as instead of looking into it and learning about it.

We do live in a far lazier generation, yet even with the tools that people use daily (internet, e-mail, Wikipedia, etc.) hardly any of it is used to further learning about a situation, so we resort back to what the news tells us about this and that and take the best sounding opinion and go with it. I spend the majority of time online, always learning new things when someone posts something I'm not familiar with I look it up. I also do research for hobbies and general interests, arguments from both sides...the valid and invalid.

This isn't about generations, this is about unity and banding together. Somewhere between that the point gets lost to petty statements made about this or that generation when that has little to nothing to do with it. You just don't want to pursue it, and that's alright...a lot of people choose this road due to work or just not interested. Problem being that in this day and age we are on the frail, we are on the edge just waiting to fall...and no one really knows what to do, or how to fix the issue at hand. Even our leaders don't know what to do, we can't ignore that or put it on some blanket statement of "it's because they are young/it's because of the baby boomers/etc". That is not fixing anything.

now u know perfectly well i wont read all that!
