DemonGT, I'm not gonna pull any punches on this. Grow up, kid.

You have a hell of a lot to learn. I'm only 24 as well, btw. Although my parents gave me a lot of freedom, they always made their views on my activities known. I've seen way overprotective parents, and I've seen lax parents. There is a line in there to walk, but your parents "minding their business and letting you mind yours" is the mark of todays **** parenting. I see it all over the place, and quite frankly, I believe parents lack of interest or discipline over their kids is a major reason for todays problems in education, growing youth crime, and gang related activities.

The idea that todays youth somehow have mystically gained knowledge and wisdom over previous generations is absurd.

I've read your posts, and your have a serious problem with authority. I'm not sure why you view any authority with disrespect, but I guarantee you the future is a lot brighter for you if you finally figure out there are other people out there that call the shots.
