Yeah, i know quite a lot of guys who boast and brag about how they don't need gf's or that they don't want to get married since they have girls as "friends with benefits" with whom they can hook up at any moment.
A very sick society indeed. Its very tragic because most of these young people have potential and they could be doing something constructive for society rather than getting drunk or high and screwing a different person every other night and then getting pregnant or acquiring a STD and ruining their own future.
There is that. It is a complicated issue. There is certainly more work to be done in providing better k-12 education and more opportunity for African-Americans but there is one clear reason why blacks, particularly black males, struggle to a greater degree than others, in achieving the "American dream" and it has little to do with racism. That reason is the collapse of the African-American family. A black American male is more likely to be born out of wedlock and with no father or father figure present while growing up, than any other American ethnic group. That family decay is present among whites, but it is most pronounced among African Americans. Of course even in those cases, the "American dream" can be achieved for those that stay away from gangs and violence. For those who study hard and have goals, even if their father was not there for them, kinda' like this African-American...

I agree with everything you said, except that this thread isn't about the country you are talking about (which ever country it is).Right...And most youths in other countries are so much more matured ?
But then again...I guess that when you live in a society where females are considered 2nd class citizens, political oppression is the norm, religious fanatics holds in governance, and said society produces so much corrupt leaders that despots are nearly guaranteed, that most of your youths would be soooooo much more 'matured' than their American counterparts, no ?
Having fun is acceptable. However what you are justifying in that video cannot in any way be considered "fun" or "medically beneficial". For one, those are all underage kids smoking and drinking alcohol. Not only are they putting their own lives at danger but also the lives of others. These same kids under the influence get into car accidents injuring or killing themselves and others as well.
Secondly, making out and hooking up with random strangers and that too while under the influence puts the person at risk of acquiring various STD's. And the person who already has STD will be spreading it amongst those who don't have it. I have had the misfortune of knowing a few people who have acquired mono through shared drinking and making out with complete strangers at high school and college parties.
That behavior in that video can in no way be considered "fun" and "medically beneficial". Rather, that is purely irresponsible behavior which has become very common amongst American teenagers! And these are the people who are supposed to inherit the American nation from their predecessors and expand upon (more like leave neglected) the hard labor of the older generations??
George Washington and the founding fathers of America as well as Abraham Lincoln would shoot themselves if they were to see the state of their nation today. These men struggled with their lives hanging in the balance for the sake of this Nation, and to see that it all leads to this is very disappointing and heart breaking indeed.

Yeah, sure, drunk teenagers getting into car accidents and killing other innocent bystanders/driver in the process, nothing big, just fun as usual.
Gov.t statistics speak for themselves:And ya, i'm sure every teen has STD.
Yes i do, and the law actually agrees with me. And at least im not putting the lives of others in danger with my "glorification" (admiration actually) of Rommel.
