To be honest, TK is right. China holds over 1.2 TRILLION in US debt that can be called in. Other foreign investors own twice that in the same fashion. Essentially, the consumerism of the United States could end it as when that debt is called, you will be forced to declare banruptcy or war, and this one will be nuclear. There's a reason the US needs to control the supply of nuclear arms, Weapons Grade Uranium and other things needed to make nukes. Without a doubt the nuclear bomb will be the end of us, but at the same time it has bought us decades of peace. With countries knowing that if they do something they will be wiped off the map, it has stopped countless wars and we should be thankful. Unfortunately, in life you cannot ration with irrational people and sooner or later you are going to have some Arab try to send us all to his god and that's a wrap. Now, before "Generation Stupid" took over, Israel would have taken Iran's nuclear capabilities out like they did before and we wouldn't have to worry. But now that we play wargames by rules our enemies do not follow, we're fucked. Rebel, youth. Play your role. Lead yourself into damnation but you sure won't be leading me.

It's really sad that the only way we can keep ourselves "safe" is to have our thumb on the button that says "Destroy the World."

TK stop blaming everything on the youth. Not only is it inaccurate but is YOUR age group that has had the impact on everything your talking about...

$150 unemployment? That's pretty solid. I ran it through a converter and it's more than university is costing me. It's a crazy amount if I'm being honest. I was used to living on 40 quid a week back in college anyway, so I feel crazy rich right now. Meanwhile, I have some friends actually working in shops and that who are walking away with far less at the end of the day, once you take into account taxes, cost of travel, etc.

You sound like just the type of ruffian that sums up what this world is coming to according to TK, Dave!

Knowing how soft and silky smooth Thunderkiss' voice is (he sounds like a childrens TV presenter actually) I think Thunderkiss should go into a studio and record an album called "TK Says" where he spends about forty five minutes talking about the world and it's problems as according to The God of Thunder himself. Maybe play some old Civil War era marching music in the background.
TRACK 1: Communism. TRACK 2: The Economy. TRACK 3: Black Culture. TRACK 4: Obama (w/ Senator) TRACK 5: Jason Freeman. TRACK 6: TNA Haters.
And the best part is, because his voice is so gentle and reassuring you just automatically feel inclined to agree with it.

No. And my age group is a bunch of morons as well. When have I said they weren't? Actually it's hella inaccurate. You're blaming things on today's "Generation Stupid" and "The Youth" which is neither correct nor fair. Most of the world's problems have been boiling up to a head for the last two decades. I don't know what you define as "youth" but I see it as early 20's downwards and considering a vast majority of those people can't vote or have only recently voted for the first time that's not a fair statement to make as we don't have the jurisdictions to change anything short of starting a revolution and I think that's a pretty tall order.

The original "generation stupid" occurred back in the 60's. Since then they have spewed from their genitalia offspring that continues to outdo those that came before them. The focus on the whole is now a focus on the self and as a result the abnormal has now become the norm. Take parenting, for an example. Today we have endless broken families, kids being raised primarily by their grandparents because their parents decided to give up on their "pet," & weak women who throw their legs open in relief but upon doing so only make another "mistake." While your generation is not responsible for what we have now, based on all I gather from what is valued by most your age, the trend will continue and the anarchy will not cease.

While your generation is not responsible for what we have now, based on all I gather from what is valued by most your age, the trend will continue and the anarchy will not cease. You're exaggerating. Not all children raised from non-nuclear families are drug addicts and criminals. In fact they tend to be far more down to earth than say someone from the upper middle-classes born with the spoon in their mouth. I was raised by a single mother, are you going to tell me that I'm a problem or a mistake? You need to stop listening to the wacko's on Bible Belt conservative talk-shows. Also, what you gather from our age? What do you actually know about our age, the youth of today? Self improvement is THE thing, attainment and success is what drives the majority but I'm failing to see where that is a bad thing. Look at the people in ACW who would be considered "youth". CP goes to college because he's worked hard. Taylor's in Uni, Dan White's graduated, Dave's graduated and is now trying to get a job, Freeman's in uni and I'm doing well in college because I'm busting my ass for everything I can. Aiming higher is what humanity has done for centuries. Evolution has to occur in order to keep ahead of the latest of humanities problems.

Mainer, don't you get it? It's nothing personal. Every generation sucks. TK is the one person in this world who doesn't. That's at least what I'M getting from this <_<

TK's actually right. You're looking at things from a political sense Mainer where as this entire argument has been from an economic sense at which point youth are the most targeted. They work for their own money which they spend on consumer goods because they don't have to pay a mortgage, utilities, and food because their parents do. Instead of saving for school, they can take out student loans which will do it. Yes, our forefathers created certain issues, however we are only compounding them when we have the power to change things.
