Why is everyone my age an idiot?

[Siedler]

I have needs just like everyone else but I think there should be more of a connection than being wasted. Besides when your drunk do you really enjoy sex? Of coarse not because the next day you dont even remember it.

Hmh, I have to disagree. I wish I had those black-outs but unfortunately I remember vividly what has happened when I had too many drinks...

"Why is everyone my age an idiot?"

Television (especially post-MTV).  Do-gooders dumbing down public education.  Lawyers.  Don't worry, it's nothing new (see Plato's Republic) -- just that there are so many more of you these days.  An inevitable consequence of the decadence that undermines all empires in their late stages.

so when will it come to an end?

In our lifetimes dude. 30 years at most. That is unless an American can figure out a new source of energy besides petroleum. Then we might last 50.

so, the empire collapses because it ran out of petro?

Yes, its what runs our country. When supply drops and demands soars what will we do? The price of oil can affect the price of everything else into a big spiral of stagflation.

Sooner than that. When the world realises the current monetary scheme isn't good any longer.

it's more of a problem of figuring out how every car in the country can run off of something besides the regular stuff
