if you think todays youth are bad because of THIS your really strange. kids making homemade weapons has probably gone down because no one goes out side and does anything anymore. my grandpa, my dad, and even me and my siblings made toy weapons when we were kids and played with them. no big deal.
in fact. if you have ever worked retail, you know that todays youth are actually wayyy better than old people and even middle aged people.
per capita, old people (ages 65+) are the biggest dumbasses of any surviving generation. they dont get how to read signs, they dont understand how sales work, they cant understand computers, and they dont even know how to swipe thier damn credit cards even though they have been around 20+ years. (1 in 5 have this problem by my estimate) oh... and they complain ALOT
followed up is middle aged people, who have the same problems, but far less frequently. (about 1 in 50)
the youth (8 - 30) actually know how all this crap works. they rarely have a problem. (probably 1 in 300)
