Why does The Escapist hate kids?

[Direwolf750]

Look at what your friends and classmates like: Justin Beiber, Lady Gaga and the new nickolodean and Cartoon Network, Call of Duty, and D&D 4.0. Your new group represents everything that my group HATES about this world, and that is that most of what we loved and cherished when we were your age is being replaced by things of far less substance and far more stupidity. So it isn't kids we hate, just what you signify, which is the death of all things we love and cherish.

Also, there will always be outliers, but as a rule, your age group is incredibly immature. There may have been nice German soldiers during Nazi rule, but it doesn't mean we didn't lump them is with the rest of 'em. and yes, Goodwin's Law....

People in my classes don't do DnD never mind 4.0. They have never heard of it. You missed facebook btw.

Nah, facebook has been around for quite some time, and I know quite a bit of middle school kids who do 4.0 D&D, even if you don't.

I don't like kids who think that they're so awesome by swearing and verbally attacking everyone they meet online. Plus screaming. I hate screaming.

If you behave yourself, know your age, and remember that you aren't ever as cool as you think you are (this is more for everyone, not just kids) then I'm ok with you.

Gxas here is on the trolley.

...the most common conversation between myself and a 10-16 year old child on xbox life:

kid- hey..hey sarah-kye-dull.. are you a girl?
me- giant dude named steve
kid- hey sarah-sid-all.. are you hot?!
me- *no response*
kid- sarah-kye-dull!! sarah-kye-dull!! ARE YOU HOT??
me- *no response* (because clearly being hot also effects the gameplay)
kid- you got a myspace sarah-kye-dull?!?!
me- im too old for you hun. go play.
kid- I BET YOU'RE FAT! OH MY GAWD I BET YOU'RE A FAT DYKE!! SARAH-SID-ALL IS A GIANT FAT DYKE!! DYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYKE!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB!!!!!! (and many other noises and shouting)
me- sure kid whatever floats your boat. *mute the kid*

It's not the whole Escapist, just a loud group who like to complain about them, most of which I suspect don't have much actual contact with children. I personally love kids, but a lot of people my age (teens and early twenties), who make up the largest demograph on this website, especially the males, are at a stage where they don't want anything to do with kids. Don't worth OP, another decade or so and most of the child-haters will grow out of it

Yay.
Must say, Incredibly loud group.

A big problem is lack of respect, kids today don't know their place is at the bottom of the pile. When i was a kid, only a few years ago, i knew my place and shut my mouth when told to, nowadays you tell a kid to shut up and they scream "child abuse" without the slightest thought as to what that actually means

Aristotles said the same about kids when he was an adult.
It's an ilusion what you are saying.

btw I don't hate Kids, I hate people. lol

Or it could just be that it is always true but only the people who buck the trend actually notice.

I don't know the meaning of the word TK.
You forgot 15th prestigers in that list.

Sorry about that, TK is team kill. As for people who cheat to get to top prestige, that doesn't affect my game so I don't really care. I guess some people put more value on shiny badges than others.

I have accidently TK'd about 20 times though!
In grifball.

TKs happen. Accidental team kills are fine but when you do it intentionally or fire into a crowd knowing you are likely to TK its not.

Oh, and marginally related, pregnant women freak me the fuck out. I think it looks unnatural. That bulbous parasite expanding the body like that. It gives me shivers and makes me ill just to think about it and picture it.

So, ladies. Who's interested in a guy who's not interested in raising a family?

Let's do it.

 

[Wintermoot]

the hate is mostly for 90% of the kids (you are part of the other 10%) I personally hate them because most of them think the world revolves around them and they get away with everything

Did you change what I wrote?

I don't understand. I act my age and know my place, I'm polite and I am very mature about things.

But because puberty refuses to take action in my body (I'm 14) and my high pitch voice, I'm considered a child and instantly looked down upon.
