AЯAB Posted October 13, 2011 Pursuing a spiritual path is almost impossible for kids now a days with all these influences around, it's sad. I have many friends who are younger than me and the path's they are going down and the influences that are around them are far from spiritual. Everything from themusic,movies,tv,facebook,internet,porn,food,friends,drugs,alcohol is holding these kids back. My brother was showing me this new rapper he listens to, it's friggen retarded(sorry I couldn't put it any other way). Kids skateboarding these days are putting upside down crosses, triple 6's,satan lives,jehovah(I don't know why they put this XD), and all these stupid things on there skateboards thinking it helps them land tricks. I try talking to my brother about spirituality and what not but there's no point. It's kind of like the movie the matrix, they are in this sort of matrix. Below is a part of a song these kids listen to including my little brother, they don't even try to hide the things they say anymore they just say it. You don't have to read the lyrics if you don't want to because it is pretty explicit.  "I erupt like a bomb, so give up the baton, I'll slap you after busting a fucking nut in my palm,why you muggin me like something was wrong, just take a puff of the bong, and let me leave your mind corrupt from the song, see you can't stop me, cause I'ma brainwash teens and create false dreams, cause it pays off clean, I'm just an idiotic, ironic, symbolic, illuminatic, product that's gonna be killed if I talk about it, shh, this industry business is all screwed up,I have no favorite rapper because all you suck, I sever the weakest niggas who not on my pedigree, cause on a tombstone is as hard as their name will ever be, I'm judged by my wild image a lot, and everybody seems to think I have a sinister plot, I do, be offended by every sentence I jot, I got some militant thoughts, and you aint killin them off, so listen (Chorus) I sag my pants until my ass shows, I even slap hoes(bitch), yeah I'm an asshole, yeah yeah, and your parents hate me cause I love you, tell em I said fuck you, yeah I said fuck you, yeah yeah"  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Protector Posted October 13, 2011 I remember when they used to say that my generation was doomed We had all them rock n rolls and raps and we had to drive to school on horses and there were dinosaurs EVERYWHERE! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aetherous Posted October 13, 2011 One way to help is by bringing spirituality into the mass media, and also telling the half truth, that being spiritual can benefit them. Â For instance, when I was 16, I had the mistaken notion that if I became enlightened everyone would like me and I'd be super popular and cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gendao Posted October 13, 2011 Not only that, but the Baby Boomers have depleted all our funds for generations to come by vastly overspending on liberal welfare and neocon warfare. As a result: Â Today's young 'will end up 25% worse off than their boomer parents' Betrayal of a generation: Their parents enjoyed years of unprecedented affluence... but today's young are crippled by debt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parties over dude. I'll just lay back and enjoy the benefits of my generation's overspending and negligence. Good luck you Generation X Y and Z'ers. Don't complain too much, you'll have your moment and we'll see if you cuddled cubs do better then us. Â Â P.S stay off my lawn and highways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
