wyguy Report post Posted March 10, 2016 I work at the Home Depot in Flagstaff. We were lowering the flag half mast for Nancy Reagan. This is an actual conversation at work. Cashier: "Who are we lowering the flag for?" My immediate Manager: "Nancy Reagan, she passed away this week." Cashier (with dead seriousness in her voice): "Who is that? A former employee?" My manager and I stood with blank stares speechless. This is what happens when you don't teach history in class..... 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DesertBull Report post Posted March 10, 2016 If you would have said Fidel Castro or SoDamn Insane. They would have shed a tear. Think about this. Rand Paul, ran as a strict, as it is written, Constitutionalist, conservative could not last past Iowa. Bernie Sanders, an admitted socialist has won the vote in several states. That is fricken disgusting and frightening. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted March 10, 2016 The current generation is so absent minded and clueless, I doubt if any of them could name 6 past Presidents, 3 senators or describe any part of our Government. They just go along with it blindly, exactly as planned. We've been dumbed down - way down. Now we get to reap what we've sown. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dog Report post Posted March 10, 2016 *Facepalm* I'm surprised, being only 21-years-old, how many of my friends asked the same exact thing. Up here attending NAU in Flag, I understand where you're coming from. By the way, I've probably seen you at Home Depot, usually head there once every 2 weeks for write in the rain gear and general nitpicks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, I've probably seen you at Home Depot, usually head there once every 2 weeks for write in the rain gear and general nitpicks. Let me give you a little tip on dealing with them: just smile, give them the southern slam, "ohhhhhh, god bless your heart!", and than whisper a silent prayer to thank god for people like that. Think about it, when you finish your degree and start competing for jobs do you want to run against a hundred smart, hard-working well informed people? Or is it better to compete against a bunch of air heads? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dustin25 Report post Posted March 10, 2016 Nothing you guys are saying is new... elders question the next generation almost always. I can hear it now, "but this time it's different...", but is it? There have always been mindless or lazy people. My generation just is carrying on that tradition. I am just greatful not to be one of them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
