Get shafted.
Kids with opinions, who cares?
That's this weeks shafting; kids that think they have rights in an adult world.
This has basically spawned from my last post about kids with stupid letters, followed by letters from this weeks Sunday newspaper.
If there's something in this world that would piss me off more than kids with opinions, I don't want to know about it.
These attitudes are due to Australian children's programming that is shown not only on Australian TV, but all over the world. We (Australians) produce kids TV programs that the rest of the world just loves to adopt. These programs such as "Cybergirl" and my all time favourite: "Thunderstone", shows kids ruling these worlds and being greatly smarter than adults. And that's where the problem starts. Kids thinking they are smarter than adults, and have a right to an opinion in an adult world.
Here's a letter from this Sundays paper.
Hard decisions.
Sometimes I think it's unfair that only people who are 18 and over can vote. I think the decision on who to vote for could be hard. At the election, John Howard and Mark Latham were good.
Howard has experience, so we knew he would be confident. Although Latham doesn't have as much experience, he came up with some good ideas.
- Soo, 12.
Wow Soo, if that is your real name. What a load of bullshit you just chewed out. Here's a reality check for you; people 18 and over are adults and are allowed to vote for a reason. No one cares what kids have to say, mainly because kids (like you) don't understand anything.
You have no idea what ideas Latham or Howard came up with, you're 12 years old. You have no idea how their decisions change the economy, or affect our budget, or alliances with other nations. You have no understanding of these things, and that's why no one cares.
So you can sit there and think it's unfair all you want, but no one gives a shit about what you have to say, and how you got "letter of the week" surprises me. If I were in charge of this paper, I would have rewarded you by express mailing you a dog turd in a box, just to snap you back from your fantasy dreams.
