Today's young people are weaklings

Today's young people are weaklings.

My car broke down on the freeway. I had my two teenage sons come to
rescue me. I was only 16 miles from home so I told them to push the car
home. They began pushing, while I steered. But they could not exceed
7mph. The speed limit is 60. The minimum speed is 45. I told them they
must push the car at least 45 mph. They could not do it.

What the hell is wrong with today's youth? When I was their age I could
have easily pushed a car at 50mph or more, and back then the cars
weighed more than they do now. Its sad how our youth today have no
muscles. All they do is stare at those goddamn smartphones instead of
becoming strong men.

If America is ever attacked by Russia, we will lose because of our
weakling youth. I blame it all on those goddamn cordless phones and
computers.

Wrong tactics
Have them steer, and show them that you, with all those years of training you
have, can easily push that car with them in it, at at the maximum 60 mph.
That will teach them

 

Something is wrong here. At no time could anyone run at 60MPH. You mean the cars are that wimpy ? Yup, they're "peppy". But you put something in front of one of my good cars and get on the gas it will rip more asphalt off the street. I shit you not. I had a few cars in that class. New cars are fast because they don't weigh shit. In fact you put four guys my size in one you are talking around 800 pounds. It is NOT going to accelerate as fast. Now you stick the same people in an old Buick with a 455 and it doesn't bat an eyelash, though I did burn up one transmission doing that...

Now people and strength, pith, vinegar and all that. Now they got back braces for any little strain pain because all they do is text n shit and can't even fucking stand up. Seriously. I do not have these problems because I developed a kickass diet that fixed all that shit on me. The bad lower back, no no mo. Knees so bad it was excruciatingly painful to walk down a flight of stairs, not no mo. Some say once the knees are gone that is it and they will never repair themselves and you need replacement knees. BULLSHIT. I am walking proof they are wrong, come on over and watch me kick some shit. I am not the strongest thing in the world and I have very little stamina but I am not in any pain except for once in a while I get some muscle cramps. They came back so I am treating that. Tonic water with quinine. A natural drug that has been around for what, 200 years ? Maybe we can trust that one.

Men in the old days, know how I go the nick Terminator ? I was observed putting a console model TV in a truck by myself, the name stuck. That is nothing. Men used to strap those 600 pound refrigerators to their backs and walk up the stairs to the fourth floor. More recently Eugene, a late ex-boss of mine used to deliver everything himself, fridges, washing machines, stick them on the dolly and you point.

I am not normal, and neither are most of my friends. Immune system ? My allergies were cured by desensitization, method - book matches. It worked. Germs ? I do not wash my hands unless I am cooking. Even if I cut my hand open and it bleeds all over the place I will not wash it. I do not get infections. I do not catch diseases. If a doctor ever gave me a prescription for an antibiotic I would say "I'll think about it". The olman also watched his drugs and didn't just take what they were giving. On the phone with the doctor "That is a calcium blocker, I am not taking it". He had a stroke and got around to going to the doctor about a week later. My Mother had a heart attack and it took her a few days to go in and she's not really one of us.

They told me if I drank I would die for sure. I drink just fine. They told me to avoid salt but I don't. My BP is fine. My cholesterol is 138/1.89 and I practically drink bacon grease. I drink, eat and smoke whatever I damnwell please and my BMI is under 30.

I do not believe them. I look things up for myself and even then do not accept established notions as true. I dismiss anything that doesn't make sense no matter what the source. Why ? Margarine. Proven an asshole nobody deserves credibility. I been through that shit, is margarine or butter better for you this week ? Aspartame is fine though it turns into an acid after digestion, HFCS makes you fat faster than 22 dozen donuts. Sugar is fine, all it does is help your metabolism rid itself of nutrients. Smoking causes cancer right ? They are on TV with people with half their jaw eaten away. Smoking fucks up your lungs and small capillaries, noy your jawbone. And now explain Eugene who died of lung cancer after never having smoked or worked in a factory even. While you're at it explain this 87 year old guy at the bar every day drinking whiskey and smoking Lucky Strikes. Explain to me how though I stopped tobacco in 2011 my Mother who is 20 years older has as much wind as I do and she still smokes - at 78. Talk to a doctor and they'll want to put her on a drug because quitting is so important. the drug causes suicidal tendencies. I guess if she does it then it worked eh ? "Cold Turkey" takes on a whole new meaning dunnit ?

Yeah, if she keeps this up she might not see her 115th birthday. hell, she already worked 240 of her 78 years, she really doesn't much care about certain things.

Scientific method, school taughten, 4112 people there for the job (GPA of 3..4...) and they know what they're doing. They are right it has been proven by their 3.44 GPA peers and the whole world takes it as gospel, even though they don't even take gospel for gospel.

But oh wait - this was all wrong, we know now. NOW were right and it is even MORE proven by the 3.4 crowd so believe us NOW, but we were still right last time with a totally different conclusion. We were right both times, the answer is yes and the answer is no. WE ARE RIGHT THIS TIME.

I was born on Wednesday but not last Wednesday. I am smarter than those assholes so I have no use for their bullshit. I will find out on my own what I want to know. They might as well just shut the fuck up.

Right. If they stopped pushing, he would run over them. Great
motivator.

What happened to carrying a tow cable, strap, or rope in the car?
Instead of watching the 3 teenagers schelp the car for 5 miles,
Morrison could have towed the car to its destination with little
difficulty. I'm assuming the terrain was rather flat as it's rather
difficult to push a car up even a small hill. The teenagers are
certainly not weaklings, but I have my doubts about the driver who
followed them. At 1AM, he probably wasn't thinking very clearly.
Also, what were the teenagers were doing at 1AM? Going to the store
at 1AM seems rather odd and possibly contrived.

Teenagers are not noted for clear thinking. These kids were Canadians
and I am happy for them.

Unfortunately two other Canadian teens seem to be murdering for some
sick reason, this story is not ending well at all.

"...so they first pushed it into the nearest parking lot." And that's where they should have left it and called an Uber for the woman. Chances are the tow operator would be closer to the commercial area of the parking lot than 5 miles out in the boonies where the woman lived.

If someone abandons a vehicle in a commercial or industrial district
at night, it's likely that there will not be much left of the car or
its contents in the morning. The lady didn't have any money and I
doubt that the teenagers would have been able to pay for her Uber ride
home.

I don't have much of a problem with the teenagers, except maybe why
they were hanging around a liquor or convenience store at 1AM. My
problem is with Morrison, the driver of the car that followed while
the teenagers pushed the car. If he had a tow cable, strap, or rope,
he could have towed her car home. If he had something better than
todays plastic automobile bumpers, he could have pushed the car as
needed. Instead, he just followed for 5 miles.

That also begs the question of how long it might take for 3 teenagers
to push a car for 5 miles. Fast walking speed is about 3 mph. Pushing
speed would be much less. My guess(tm), based upon my personal
experience of simultaneously running out of gasoline and money is
about 2 mph at best. So, 5 miles would take 10 hrs, which methinks is
highly unlikely. With the limited attention span of the typical
teenager, my guess(tm) would be that they would lose interest after
maybe 1 hr. So, the 5 miles would require an average speed of 5 mph,
which is faster than walking speed. That's possible if it were all
downhill, or if Morrison pushed with his car, but not powered solely
by 3 teenagers.

Please try to find a better example of the strength of todays young
people. This example is full of holes.

Canada incarcerates them for about 5 years for an offense like that. They should just turn themselves in.

Looks like a rural area with a bunch of those 24 hour convenience stores and well lit parking lots. The car would be perfectly safe.

There is a not too bad movie made in Australia on exactly that theme.

It's called " Tomorrow, when the War Began "

The script writer sets out dispel the myth that modern youth would be incapable of doing anything like what so many young folk did successfully during WW2 - cos nowadays they are all pampered weaklings.

to push a car for 5 miles. Fast walking speed is about 3 mph. Pushing
speed would be much less. My guess(tm), based upon my personal
experience of simultaneously running out of gasoline and money is
about 2 mph at best. So, 5 miles would take 10 hrs, which methinks is
highly unlikely.

2.5 hours

With the limited attention span of the typical
teenager, my guess(tm) would be that they would lose interest after
maybe 1 hr.

The first one to quit will get called a wimp, so, to save face they
each keep on pushing.

So, the 5 miles would require an average speed of 5 mph,
which is faster than walking speed. That's possible if it were all
downhill, or if Morrison pushed with his car, but not powered solely
by 3 teenagers.

This Depends mostly on the gradient between the start and finish spots.
it must have been somewhere pretty flat.

Right. If they stopped pushing, he would run over them. Great
motivator.

What happened to carrying a tow cable, strap, or rope in the car?
Instead of watching the 3 teenagers schelp the car for 5 miles,
Morrison could have towed the car to its destination with little
difficulty. I'm assuming the terrain was rather flat as it's rather
difficult to push a car up even a small hill. The teenagers are
certainly not weaklings, but I have my doubts about the driver who
followed them. At 1AM, he probably wasn't thinking very clearly.
Also, what were the teenagers were doing at 1AM? Going to the store
at 1AM seems rather odd and possibly contrived.




Teenagers are not noted for clear thinking. These kids were Canadians
and I am happy for them.

Unfortunately two other Canadian teens seem to be murdering for some
sick reason, this story is not ending well at all.

Canada incarcerates them for about 5 years for an offense like that. They should just turn themselves in.

Our murder rate is a fraction (1/3) of yours.

Life sentence here is 20 to 25 years, and "parole eligibility greater
than 10 years is justified when there is some particularly aggravating
feature; for a penalty of greater than 15 years, egregious circumstances
of a higher order of moral culpability are present"

They didn't exactly pick the best place to lay low.

Between RCMP and MPP, they're not going to escape by road, and trekking through the wilderness is nigh impossible. They'll have to steal a boat and use the Nelson River, but whichever way they go, they're in the middle of nowhere.

Sadly you're right.

If America is ever attacked by Russia, we will lose because of our
weakling youth. I blame it all on those goddamn cordless phones and
computers.

I feel your pain, bro. But it's the same appalling situation outside the
US too.
