Seriously, todays youth?

"Seriously, today's youth?"

Congratulations, you've turned into your parents/grandparents.

Heh.

To be fair, there's alot of disturbing things the youth of today do that wasn't around previously. They didn't have mobile phones, facebook and youtube to muck about with back in my day.

 

[phantasmalWordsmith]

Way too much time on his hands I'd say.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

Is it just me or is this video seriously disturbing? We have kids making weapons out of plastic clothes hangers and crayola markers !


Opinions on this? I think this is creepy, thank goodness I'm a kind person

I actually find you more shocking because I had no idea that people so fucking hysterical existed.

This is one kid and you're calling out the entirety of the present's youth? Ridiculous.

The kid in OP's video doesn't seem malicious in any way. He's just a little boy who thinks weapons are cool (like all young boys do), and has the MacGyver skills to make them in his own home. I'd say he probably has a future in engineering.

 

[JAY_RAD]

Disturbing to some but not me. Last time I knew, most of the shit he made won't kill you, it will just hurt you. Also, this kid is probably gonna be a future green beret or marine; so it works out great for all of us.

 

[Dango]

Someone really needs to but that kid a Nerf gun...

 

[Palademon]

This kid is clever, but I fear for the people around him.
These weapons could definately hurt people. That "spear gun" would be enough to puncture someone.

 

[thiosk]

Hes just getting ready for the inevitable trip to prison, where he'll make shanks out of reprocessed condom wrappers and leftover tomato paste.

Let the kid alone!

 

[The_Yeti]

Bah, disturbing? more like boring. People who did this in the middle ages scaled to and intended on killing people, now thats win. This kids just bored and doesn't have the pre-manufactured supply to build effectively violent toys like the big kids :0

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Yesterday's youth is now mostly doing 100% the same, at least if they are in American prisons... They make the same weapons, out of even less stuff.

I'd call this; human creativity and ingenuity.
Bet this kid will become a structural engineer.

 

[Ace of Spades]

In every era, there are people who complain that the youth are corrupted, a mere shadow of the youth of the previous one. Today's children are better than Medieval children who were forced to train as mounted knights pretty much from birth, given weak beer to drink, since water was unsafe, and no formal education. If you have a problem with "today's youth", you probably just have a problem with children in general.

 

[logiman]

He would do really well in prison lol

 

[loc978]

...all of the things wrong with kids today (not their fault) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDZFcDGpL4U], and you're worried about some creative, homemade toys made out of office supplies?
Seriously, none of his "weapons" are even as lethal as a BB gun.

He would do really well in prison lol

No... no he wouldn't. Any idiot can make a shiv out of a toothbrush, and that's pretty much the most effective weapon one can make in prison.

How old are you first?

Becuase if so then I may view you as the youth, in which case you'd probably be offended to be included in the same category.

Every older generation hates the things that the younger one likes and does, it's the way of life. What we really need is the for the older generation to stop moaning about it, because the more you moan, the more the 'youth of today' will continue to do the things you moan about.

You rebelled against your elders, even if you didn't realise you were (or are) and your children will rebel against their elders.

 

[Lonan]

If he was of a different age, what would you call him? I think he's pretty great and creative.

 

[rokkolpo]

uhmm....am I bad for making those exact same things with my fiends when I was 10.
The only things we hurt with those things were each other, while wearing our makeshift armour.

It was AWESOME, thank you.

 

[Worgen]

considering how easy it is to get a gun nowadays Im surprised that kids show enough ingenuity to create their own weapons, that are of mischief value only

 

[Harrowdown]

My uncle made a longbow when he was a kid, and fired it at his brother for fun, and he's fine. Boys like weapons. Always have.

 

[zidine100]

may i point you in the direction of the youth weapon of old, slingshots and stones. All this says is that the youth is getting more creative.

And then theres the fact hes done nothing with them, to the best of you knowledge.

 

[Ravendir]

Well at least this kid can have a solid career in the weapons development industry.
