Because most elderly people are full of shit never trust somebody above 30 and specially above 40. They have no morals and they believe only in power as they get ugly with every day. Their disussions is not to enlighten the young but to put themselfs as authorities to gain power and women:)

Many elderly idiots even want to be right when they lost connection to the new developments of current times.

Young people want to laugh and have fun that is good and natural. Though there are enough angry youngsters who are angry young men. They are bad because life was bad to them.

But normal youngsters should be happy and optimistic as they are young and beautiful Life should be enjoyed

Have you noticed that young people, esp white and asian, don't like hearing anything negative, even if it's true or obvious?

No, I haven't noticed this with the younger population as a whole, but I see this with people in general. The way I see it is just how Contrarian Expatriate put it. You're supposed to walk around with this fake optimistic facade all the time and act like everything is going great. If you voice your opinion about something and it falls outside of what people were conditioned to think you're seen as being negative. Not all the time but a lot of times. There are some people who like to hear the truth or may have felt the same way as you did.

But I definitely understand where you're coming from though. That's another reason I don't relate too well with most Americans. I like getting deep and having discussions about those things most people don't observe or want to discuss in their everyday lives. A lot of people can't handle the truth. It's make them have to think. That's why you find people having surface fluff talk, i.e. sports, TV, etc., instead of engaging in thought provoking discussions. [/quote]

+1. People just don't want to be awake to the truth! All the fake smiles, fake personalities, and fake happiness is bunch of bullc**p in my opinion. The fake optimism is why the country is going down the tubes because the vast majority of American people don't want to face reality!
