This Generation which you're saying is lacking appreciation is the same generation that are being sent off to fight in the front line. Go figure!

People like this just piss me off sometimes..."

I am not stereotyping you based soley upon your status as a university student. Hell, I once was a university student too. I am able to recognize that not all college students are cut from the same mold. (Of course, the fact that you don't like USC already tells me a lot about you--just kidding dude...have a sense of humor).

What I am doing is judging you based upon your posts on this thread and your responses to those who have commented on your posts. And, to some degree, I am also judging you on the comments other have made about you. Not having personally met you, this is the best that I can do.

Incidentally your generation is NOT BEING sent to the front line. My generation was the last generation that was forced to go to war. Members of your Genration have THE OPTION to fight or not fight. I don't see you joining the Army, so you are NOT beig sent anywhere that you don't want to go to. So go figure!

And please, don't let anyone start saying that only blacks or other minorities go the front lines. After House member Chuckles Rangel made that stupid claim, the Dept. of Defense released statistics that show that frontline soldiers are drawn, in equal proportion to their respective percentage in the general population. So go figure.

Finally, if I piss you off only sometimes, then I've failed. My goal is to challenge people to think ALL the time and if I piss them off i the process, I consider that to be a bonus. I've found out that nothing focus one's intellectual powers better than being REALLY pissed off.
