Posturing.

[Black_Bird]

One thing I positively hate is juvenile male posturing. You take one look in the general direction of a woman you don't even know and these prickless bastards come rushing up to you demanding why the hell you are "Looking at my woman," yet in a heartbeat they'll be hitting on their "woman's" sixteen year old sister. If you walk past them, just to prove to themselves that they are better then you, they'll shoulder you. Say something and all they respond with is "Shut up, bitch, or beat you within an inch of your life." Pot smoking, white trash, gangsta wannabes. I hate it.

Pot smoking, white trash, gangsta wannabes. I hate it.

If they were smoking pot, they wouldnt bother you... For example:

*BB walks down the street, sees man sitting on pavement smoking*

*man takes a drag*

man: "hey there Mr. dude... stay cool, you know what i'm saying?"


No they're not all white. Yes they are wannabe gansters

Re: Re: Posturing.

If they were smoking pot, they wouldnt bother you... For example:

Hey - I'm not saying that smoking pot is bad... Actually, I probably threw that in because of my younger brother; he has brought a great deal of trouble to my door over drugs. I wish he'd get a real job, you know? *growl*

Agreed Black_Bird.

When I was young, a teen ager. I never could understand why old people hated every thing about 'us', our clothes, music, hair, so forth and so on. I mean what was wrong with them.

Now I are one, an old people. Not that old. But old enough.

I don't understand the disrespectful talk to elders, or even to each other. We never talked to our friends like they do today. All this violence, and negativity, calling each other vile names (N word, white and black). And the way guys talk to girls, my God.

Forget the music. I fucking hate rap. I can and do listen to some of the new rock, but a lot of it is too soft for me. What I don't get, again is the violence, what the hell do all of these spoiled brats have to be so upset about? And the volume! I really hate the cars that vibrate my teeth from a mile away. Pulling up to red lights. BOOM BOOM BOOM. There is going to be a whole generation of deaf people soon. Put your money in hearing aid stock.

Dancing. I see these girls on TV rubbing their asses all over the boy. What happened to equal rights, Woman Power, that shit? They look like sluts. Why not just strip down and fuck on the floor?

Clothes. How baggy can you get? When I was in Law Enforcement I loved it. I knew the bad guy didn't have a weapon in at least one hand, cause he was holding his damned pants up. $150 sports shoes... Sure we liked to wear Addias, they were cool, they also cost 20 to 30 bucks, which I guess was a lot of money in those days, but not equal to today. And the brand names. Every kid out there is a damned commercial for someone. Of course the bigger the name the more the money. Girls will be walking around naked before long. Well, I can't bitch about that too much, our girls showed a lot of skin too. God bless hot pants, daisy dukes, mini skirts and the like.

Sex. Just what in hell is a booty call. I think I know, but I hope I a wrong. My assuption from observation is this: call a girl or guy up, just to have sex, nothing else. Am I right, please tell me I'm not. Hell I used to date a girl for ages before I even tried to score. Unless of course it was last call and I was wasted. Our version of a booty call?

Cars. If we had one, it was a damned junker. No one bought it for us. We worked after school for it. It was falling apart. We never tried to take a cheap assed car and make it look cool by adding stupid shit to it. I see high school kids driving better cars than I usually do.

Pain. Boys and pain. Skateboards, BMX, fighting. What are they trying to prove? That they are tough? It seems like everytime they bust an arm or leg they cry like girls. We never tried to kill ourselves, but when we did fuck up, we kept it in. Still I don't get the death wish. WEAR A FUCKING HELMET at least. Damn.

Cool. Cool in my time was being laid back, not bothered by anything. No worries. Or able to walk silently through any type of terrain and pick out things that were not supposed to be there, that was fucking cool. Today cool means being as fucking weird as you can be. Tattos, metal stuck through every body part possible, purple hair, non-conformity. I love seeing 30 kids all being non-conformists, and looking like clones.

School. We didn't like it, but we did it. Never thought of causing trouble. Might smoke a joint at lunch in the smoking area. Yell a teacher? Fuck no. Hit a teacher? Ha. Fights happened after school, off school grounds. And there were 'reasons' for them, not stupid shit like you stepped on my 150 dollar shoe. No one carried a weapon to school. But most of us guys carried a pocket knife to school. To us it was a tool, not a fucking weapon.

What the fuck else? A lot. But I am done.

Leave us old fucks alone. You young assholes remember, when you try to mug us, we are going to take your weapon away from you and beat you to death with it. Go for the really old geezers, the Korea and WWII vets, they will just take a little longer to fuck you up, they get a little slow in their old age.

Ranting is over, we return you now to your regularly scheduled program. (Fuck the spelling errors I didn't keep track of them)

 

[Black_Bird]

Agreed Black_Bird.

Whoa, there teach... I think we might be speaking a different language here. I'm talking about macho male posturing... you're just criticizing everything about kids today. The difference?

I don't understand the disrespectful talk to elders, or even to each other. We never talked to our friends like they do today. All this violence, and negativity, calling each other vile names (N word, white and black). And the way guys talk to girls, my God.

THIS I agree with... There is no reason to spew such negitivity.

What I don't get, again is the violence, what the hell do all of these spoiled brats have to be so upset about?

I know... again, this I agree with.

And the volume! I really hate the cars that vibrate my teeth from a mile away. Pulling up to red lights. BOOM BOOM BOOM. There is going to be a whole generation of deaf people soon.

And now... your judging a generation's taste in music which has nothing to do with the macho male posturing. Hate it all you want, but if they guy is a nice guy, I don't really care how loud he listens to his music, because if you ask nice, he'll turn it down.

The guy I'm pissed off at is the one who, upon being asked to turn down his music, turns to you and ask "Just what are you going to do about it if I don't," like the prick has a God given right.

They look like sluts.

Again, I disagree. Let them dress or dance any way they want to; it's their life.

Ah well, I'm used to being misunderstood by now. Heh.

I dont understand it either. If I were to see a guy ogling my girl, I'd take a certain amount of pride in the fact that I am NOT the only one that finds her attractive. I guess it has alot to do with maturity, and self confidence.

 

[Dhalgren]

Maybe it’s just learning how to manage all that testosterone running rampant through their young bodies.



But what do I know?
I'm just that girl whom learned how to wear really baggy sweaters.

 

[unclej]

man, we all posture...it's human nature...it's how we're programmed from birth to attract a mate...the difference, i truly believe is the male role models that young men have now...as an admitted old fart i grew up with a strong, hard working father...i grew up with movie idols that, by and large, were on the side of truth, justice, and the american way...(come on oldies, where'd it come from) and they opened doors for the ladies and lit their cigs and all that polite stuff that i still enjoy doing...today's role models are sports figures that are functionally illiterate, rap singers that i don't understand at all and movie heroes that kill 57 dudes in the first 5 minutes of a flick....so the posturing is always going to be there...can't be helped...maybe someday, though someone will teach them the right way to do it...

 

[perks]

birdie... that was me

why WERE you oglin' my woman?

 

[sch00lteacher]

Sorry there Black_Bird, it took so long for me to type my little rant in that a couple of post slipped in.

I was just agreeing with your first post there, about the posturing.

And as far as the music goes. They make headphones for a reason. Listen to your music as loud as you want, but don't share it with me. I shouldn't have to ask anyone to turn it down.

Hope this clears things up. I didn't mean for you to feel missunderstood. Sorry.

 

[Black_Bird]

Wha? I can't admire the both of you?

 

[Black_Bird]

Ah - no reason to be sorry, guy. 'sokay.

I totally agree with you man.
One thing, don't blame the weed ok?
the weed is innocent.
It's a damn shame, they don't know any fucking better though.
I'm of the opinon,nay belief, that you need to take the little motherfuckers and beat some sense into them.Or, and this is one of my personal favorites, take that cocky little asshole and treat him like a bitch,like the fucking bitch dog that he is and introduce his anus to Mr.Nightstick.
If you work this asshole over like a five dollar whore, he might just kill himself, problem solved and you had a little fun as well.

Have you ever seen a young male "posture" when he's on his own?

When I ran a school, I'd pay a visit to the home of any kid who "postured" , in the evening or at the weekend. After being seen in their "home" - sometimes they didn't really have homes, but with the people they stayed with - invariably, and that means without exception over a 10 year period, their relationships within the school were pretty "posture-free".

I didn't ever understand why other schools didn't do it.

It doesn't answer your question, but it suggests to me that the more we cross the divide, in communication terms, between social groupings, the less fear and antagonism there is.

"why, no. i wasn't looking at your girl. i was looking at YOU, big boy! *wink*"

works like a charm, especially on the rare occation that they don't flee and actually try to start something! that's where 4 lbs. of solid red oak comes in handy!

god, i love my suburito! (heavier wooden practice sword for kendo or iaido)

I think it's a general lack of respect.

All round.




What's scarey?


I'm old,now.
To them,anyways.


If only they knew.
The bigger picture?


I never want to own a teenager,thanks.
I'm gonna send Mitch off to school somewhere in France,and will only let him back when he's a well educated,good mannered,grownup.*l*

Send him here Tess. No probs. Lovely av.

If they have no cheddar, let them eat Cammembert.

 

[AusTess]

I guess he'd have to learn to speak French first,huh?

I dont think ocker Aussie slang would work.

Not at all - my kids went into school here with no French - not a word. One of them is considering doing Bac Lit next year - 3 years after coming here.

Another, when he asked to be excused English classes was told, "Just because you might have an English Granny doesn't mean you can get out of it." His form teacher did't have a clue that his first 12 years were in UK.

Anyone can learn another language if they're immersed in it.

baffles me why they ever teach languages in schools.

Why don't you just come over and visit Europe AussieTess.? Check it out.
I met an australian woman in Glasgow last week - she was doing just that and meeting up with all her internet buddies.
