I just hear it so often, its usually a generational thing - it starts happening in the 30's to 40's. the person starts to perceive kids as rude, disrespectful and as the "enemy." Mind you I have seen thorough asses under the age of 20, but usually its the same proportion as asses over the age of 40. At the same time I've seen a lot of kids who are energetic, respectful, enthusiastic and are reasonably intelligent. Unlike you I do not think its age related, there are just jerks all over the place, you just notice the younger ones. The comment I made about the Sumerian scribe is that your complaints are eternal. That piece was one of the oldest bits of writing found. The Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, ancient Chinese, etc. all have writings that same the same thing - kids are disrepectful, spoiled rotten, have atrocious manners etc. I suspect that Ogg the first cave man made the same set of complaints about Nogg his teenaged son. If you could travel 10,000 years into the future, you'd probably hear (or whatever) the same set of complaints. In other words get over it and relax, instead of looking at the bad crap, look at the other kids who are volunteering to help at daycares, senior centers or political campaigns.
