20 reasons why a teenager is annoyed...

Tue Apr 20, 2004 12:15 am by Tawakalna

I was thinking of metal tags fastened to their ears, then they could double as fashion items. I'm pleased you think "teen-exchange" is a good idea; it's all so easy when you stop thinking of them as people and think of them as chattels

moi, fat and lazy, chomping away on a stogie while enslaved and hapless teens toil on my sugar plantation, making me wealthy beyond my wildest dreams? as if such a thought would cross my mind. besides, supply sufficient quantities of Buffy/Angel/Dark Angel/Jake2.0/Roswell High/MTV etc and they won't even realise they're enslaved. Glue a mobile phone permanently to their ears playing endless ringtones and they'll be just fine and dandy...

this policy has already begun in the glorious People's Republic. Sulky teen daughter mopes around wanting to watch Angel, while I'm watching samurai films. Doesn't just come out and ask to watch Angel, just slops about making pained noises and stupid questions (oh I can't see through that, not at all) soeventually I ask if there is something she wants; after a series of grunts that pass for language, she confirms that she does wish to impinge upon my relaxation time. I concur and allow her to watch Angel or whatever, providing the washing ups done, she gets me a paper, a cup of tea with LOTS of sugar, puts the milk bottles out, tidies the kitchen up and doesnt speak to me for the next 3 hrs. It's so cool being a parent, you can extort anything put of your kids by preying on their desire to fit in with the "in" crowd at school

Taw- I hate earings. I hate metal tags on my ear too. I don't watch any of the shows you mentioned(maybe MTV but that's because I love music).I don't use grunts for my language.I'll probably conspire to kill the owner of the sugar plantation I might work on anyways.

Esq.- You have just lost an acolyte.Down with the Esq. Revolution

Indy-Laser beam branding. I don't think so my friend.

I'm exceptionally smarter than your everage teen. My IQ is very high for my age. So if you do snap tags on our ears, put us in cages, make us work on sugar plantations, put the whip to our back, or anything of that nature. Please leave me out of it. Make the dumb ones suffer. I suggest putting armed guards around the plantations. Have a break every hour for five minutes where they can get water and eat some of their daily bread allowance. Give them sleep for 7 hours at least. If anyone steps out of line, send them to a large wooden box with an iron top. That way when the sun hits the iron it will heat up in there. Keep em in their for about 30 mins. If they deserve greater punsihment I leave that up to you. I'm beginning to see the good side of this

We go for victory!

Jag - Too bad, you could have risen far in my glorious society

. I have now put out a contract on you. If you are captured, you will be brought to my secret ginger beer manufacturing plant, and slave away there for the rest of your natural life! Mwahahahaha!! :O)

Mods, I know that we are really going OT, but they started it!

I agree with Jagged, enslave the dumb ones, make them pay for their ignorance and stupidity. It will signify an evolutionary leap in society where only the intelligent will have the duty of carrying humanity forth into the future.

It's an axe, I use it to...hack at people

congrats! You have discovered and understood a central tenet of Tawakalnism..

Tue Apr 20, 2004 5:19 am by Indy11

Hmmm yes. The smart ones. What to do with the smart ones.......

If, truly, there are smart ones in amongst the herd, they DO need to be culled out. They would be like rottens in a barrel of apples.

And yet, the spark of intelligence in them would be a shame to waste. We could make them prison...er.... slave foremen maybe?

I assume that you three are older men? Why are you being so "anti" about teenagers? I am going to be 20 this year.

Teenagers have a lot of things to worry about. How they look, how their friends see them and what the others at school think of them. It is very important for a teenager to know all the right things and to be able to say the right things so that they don't look dumb to the other students. These things are very much more important than learning the other things that you are talking about.

If you are joking about all of this, I do not think it is very funny because I think it is threatening to the younger teenagers to see you write things like that.

I am just making this observations to be helpful.

as if we're going to be setting up slave farms for teenagers. c'mon, chill. I have a teenager of my own (hmmmm the idea sounds better all the time!)

lighten up!

Tue Apr 20, 2004 7:31 am by Indy11

Yeah Taw.

We need to make sure that teens priorities remain the reality and what's important to their future lives is kept trivial and unlearned.

NOT!

C'mon AELK, you don't honestly mean what you're saying do you? You make it sound like we should let a teenager stay trapped in peer pressure h*ll when we all know that peer pressure is a load of cr*p.

<Edit>

Really not all that different from the slave camps we're envisioning. And the smart ones already are the, er, foremen.

At least I'll be like 19 when all of this takes place

I'm not sacred and I don't have peer pressure. Peer pressure is a load of cr*p. Besides I know Taw is good and kind hearted inside...right? The extra income from selling the commodities from the sugar pl..err..I mean farm where the owner does all the work and lets his kids rest, will help the economy.

We go for victory!

"Taw is good and kind hearted inside.."

AELK - It depends upon which three of us you mean when you are referring to "older men"

. Anyone who reads this can not doubt that we are joking; that's why there are so many emoticons. Hmm, you've probably succeeded in getting this thread locked, too. Oh well

The best thing about being a teenager, is NOT being a teenager.

"Evil will always triumph because good is dumb!"

Wed Apr 21, 2004 6:23 am by Indy11

Well I am quite sure AELK isn't really referring to me so it has to be either Taw or you Esqy.

Wed Apr 21, 2004 2:28 pm by Esquilax

Aren't you older than I am Indy? I assumed that she meant YOU and Taw (and possibly me as well). Damn ambiguous statements *grumble*
