What do you mean lame? I was simply presenting Twisted a legitimate comparison.

The only legit comparison you can make, is with my ass and your face.

Well if you take in the consideration that most 16 year olds like to fuck up alot on many levels and don't understand most of which about whats going on in the world and the reasons why it happens, you will find that at least 98% of the population that are from the ages of 13-18 still don't know much about shit. Putting it simply, its a rarity that once in a blue moon young teenagers take life seriously. Sure their are immature adults, most of which don't have a clue, but the majority of 20-30 year olds consider life serious and don't take to kindly to kids who are immature.

The majority of people in general do not take their lives seriously, and they are in principle, well, ignorant. Also, don't make up statistics based on your personal encounters and experiences, it doesn't make you sound any more credible. Not saying you aren't, but "98% of the population ages..." was unneeded since you were expressing an opinion and did not make it clear.

Unless you have an actual source for such information, then by all means, post and I will apologize for my error.

EDIT:

On a side note, you really shouldn't take life that seriously, or you are destined to be unhappy and miserable.

It was a mere estimate, i was only giving an example to give a point and yes people should take life seriously. Were in for a long run with the economy in a slump, which is a serious matter, but of course 16 year olds dont have to worry bout that do they ;p

Well of course issues pertaining to the economy are relevant, serious matters, but you have to leave room for the more lax side of life.

And as a 16 year old, I am pretty aware, but it is true, I am not concerned with a lot of the things that are more relevant in the lives of adults. It isn't my time to worry about that, but even still, I like to be informed because I inherit the future created by my elders, who are most likely raping it for personal gain.

Those would be the con artists and corrupt businessmen/politicians that are responsible for most of the economic/political problems. But their are aspects of the adult life that are relaxed. But most people work for a living so a source of income is one of the main priorities in the list. So it pertains to being a serious matter that bothers most people. In reality most adults dont have much "free time" due to work. Also, you should be worrying about later in life situations. It would help you in the long run to see what your up against.

Why worry about it, now? I have my whole life to try my very best strive for that heavily-regulated, cookie-cutter lifestyle of that 9-5 job I will most likely hate. I am not going to need that much money to be happy, I mean, I guess that is just myself I am speaking for, money does not equal happiness in any equation I've ever drawn out. Not saying I won't need it, but I don't think I will get to be all bent of shape trying to support a lifestyle that I can't afford, let alone even want.

At least your smart enough not to set your goals too high. I'm sure you've came to that conclusion from past failed achievements in life. Have fun working as a janitor in some McDonalds. We'll see how far your "leet speek" and "online cliches" get you.

We all don't have relatives who will allow us to leech off them pass the age 18. I'd be a lot more proud earning my own money at McDonlads, which I don't plan on but for the sake of argument let's say I do, opposed to leeching off other people.

Who is the real loser in that scenario?

Because its possible that you might not have a decent future. With no proper education of the world you will blindly be manipulated into thinking like the rest of the sheep. Most likely you wont have the knowledge of how a business is run, so u will in turn will be "one of the idiots" mouthing off rumors about places that are true, when in fact yourself dont know whats going on in your own job. Looking at the stand point at the moment, the average wage will be meaningless to the economy, most will become poor and lose their jobs. Already about 180,000 jobs have been lost and like i said earlier in the post the economy is heading straight for a reccession. If you want further proof heres a link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23723179/ or http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23676448/

I find it humorous how all these experts are unable to agree whether or not we actually are in a recession or not. In the public mind, it is about 3 quarters of Americans who believes this, although it could possibly be a media contrived one, we won't really know until after it is over. From what I have read about the GDP there has been a somewhat steady decline, I think a credible forecast would be to say there will be a rebound in 2009, but I won't know for sure until that time comes.

I have a proper education of the world, I am pretty sure I won't be "manipulated" into blindly following public opinion, I may not know every technical aspect of how a business is run or I would run one myself at the current time, I am pretty sure there isn't anything I can't read up on, but right now, knowledge is slowly accumulating through awareness and I feel that I am somewhat prepared. I sure has hell wouldn't enter a job completely ignorant to the events taking place around me.

These, "flashing yellow" lights of recession claims as well as the public view of actually being in a recession leave the average reader in wonder, most likely too lazy to research. I don't buy in to the hype of the dollar's decrease in value, nor do I hang on the every word of a particular party or the words of a supposed expert, I can read up and form these opinions of my own.

Those so callled "experts" have several year of experience with the market economics. They know everything about it inside and out, usually when someone with that kinda knowledge says theirs a possibility of a recession, then its 98% possible that the market will be in a recession for a period of time. Although their are speculations from several different sources that show different opinions about the subject, they all point to the same line, a recession. Also, the people who are to lazy to read up on the news would be the ignorant uneducated people. You changed your point a view i see to, you went to, no i dont care about the seriousness of life cause im to young, to yes i know what im talking about and im serious about life. Make up your mind already ;p. Even if you have "some" skill in your job, still doesnt mean you know full whats going on. People are pissed at my work because our store might be sold, apparently our company believes that money > people, so if they see an opportunity to seek an agreement that will have them gain millions they wouldnt hesitate to sell, in the process this would further destroy the business and force even more into the unemployment crowd. The experts all have different stand points because those articles arent completely over the same subject. Most adults read the news daily btw.

When I said I don't care to be too serious about life, I didn't mean I wasn't informed. I simply think it is a recipe for unhappiness to treat your life in a very tense, serious way. The expert opinions tend to vary, so that is why I am saying there is a big gap for error on their part.

Also, once again, I don't think most adults read up on news as much as you'd think. Sure the media presents them their Fox News and their CNN , but most people don't read too into it.
