Young people are dumb. (I was)

psychoactive · 05-22-2007, 03:48 PM

When I was 16 I used to drive out to the casino with a 40oz of mickeys in my lap, toss it out the sunroof when i finished... grab more... race around, I can't believe I did that, or that I am alive... even the thought scares the poo out of me, is it just me or are all young people like that?

Haven't you heard? All young people are invincible. Or at least think they are.

When I was young I used to go out to Loxahatchee and feed the alligators marshmallows. I also shot lizards with my bb gun and burned ants with my super magnifying glass death ray. I also played uni-bomber with fire ants after forth of July.

MonacoBimm · 05-22-2007, 04:08 PM

Im young, IM 17, and I dont feel the urge to do crazy things. And yeah, i dont feel inivincible either.

psychoactive · 05-22-2007, 04:12 PM

well..prob 3 types of people..

A. pissed off old people (who are obsessed with the badge..and think the 3 is an "exclusive" car too good for a kid)

B. cool old people that bought the car for the right reason

C. rich kids (some arrogant, some not)

not judging anyone..ya'll can decide which group you fit in best..lol

psychoactive · 05-22-2007, 04:33 PM

i dunno if im cool, but i know im not old, and im certainly not rich!!

i think you need a 4th type of person... not so old, works enough to get a nice car!

ironjw · 05-22-2007, 04:36 PM

yea i did a lot sh*t when i was a teen. Now i think about it.. it was dumb and i laugh at myself.

UncleWede · 05-22-2007, 05:56 PM

Must have been invinceable, as much as I drank and drove back in the day. Wasn't even a concern about DUI then. Most of my friends thought my car (70 Cougar) was run on rocket fuel as fast as it went.

Now that I'm 40, 2 beers and I give the key to the wife (and have a few more).

bullitt5897 · 05-22-2007, 06:17 PM

Yea I did crazy shit when I was younger but I saved it for the track or an empty parking lot. I think that its the parents job to show the correct path and hopefully the kid has enough common freaking sense to see that path as well as have enough respect for their parents.

Driving like a dumb ass is not justified for anyone. If a drunk kid hit me I would beat him sensless and make it look like the airbag did it!!! he would learn then that drunk driving kills. I am so for harsher punishment on drunk driving! I pass the keys to my girl when I drink I would expect everyone else to do the same.

+1 Almost identical to me except mine was a Thunderbird. I did get a DUI back in 1989, but that was only $350 and 2 days in jail (I blew a .23 several hours after I quit drinking).

not scared of death....thinking you can do whatever you want (like driving drunk) without harm

MrFrizzle · 05-22-2007, 07:02 PM

Well, I'm 16, and I wouldn't say I'm that crazy.
I look down on stupid kids who do stupid things.

People who think like that, are usually taken out of the gene pool for obvious reasons. Seriously, if I hear about a kid in a car accident who crashed drunk and high while furiously speeding, it won't get a lot of compassion from me.

Its natural for kids to live a little more "exciting" than older people, but that doesn't mean we should be living recklessly and without regard for anything else.

When I was 17, freshman at a university, and was at orientation week, I decided to rush a fraternity... Having never met this one active of the fraternity, I drank 21 shots of vodka to celebrate his 21st birthday. What a dumbass I was!!! Never heard of alcohol poisoning back then *sigh*...
