-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The other night my roomate and I were headed to a local bar
|
||
|
|
we frequent quite often, and as usual we stopped by a nearby gas station
|
||
|
|
so my roomie could get cigarretes. First off, you have to know a little
|
||
|
|
more about him, he is 24 years old, but appears a little younger than I
|
||
|
|
do. He is totally against the government in every way so he has no driver's
|
||
|
|
licence or any form of government paperwork. Occasionally he gets carded
|
||
|
|
for cigs so I often buy them for him since I am 21 and have ID.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We pull up to the conoco where I frequently gas up and buy food
|
||
|
|
during lunch breaks. After a 5 minute wait for the guy behind the counter
|
||
|
|
to finish up with a simple purchase I step up and ask for the pack of cigs.
|
||
|
|
He grabbed the cigs and looked at me with doubt in his eye and asked me
|
||
|
|
"Do you have ID?!". The tone of his voice blatantly said "You are way too
|
||
|
|
young and I don't believe you". I showed him my ID and he kinda of nodded
|
||
|
|
then asked me "Don't I always card you?".
|
||
|
|
"No, you've never carded me before". He came back more rudely with
|
||
|
|
"Well, I'm gonna card you everytime". At this point I was really wondering
|
||
|
|
why he was copping such an attitude with me for no reason. I had done
|
||
|
|
nothing to piss him off(yet), and had just been Joe Customer. This had
|
||
|
|
gone a little past him having a bad day or having something against me
|
||
|
|
so I asked him "Why are you copping an attitude with me?"
|
||
|
|
Things went downhill from there and I left with the cigs, bitching
|
||
|
|
at this guy, and as I walked out of the place he kept flipping me off
|
||
|
|
through the window. I plan on talking to their customer service sometime,
|
||
|
|
but it doesn't really matter. The point of all this...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is a single thing left for people in the 'GenX' age group
|
||
|
|
these days.. that single thing is the only thing left for those younger
|
||
|
|
than me. Respect.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Think of the generations behind us and what they had to deal with,
|
||
|
|
and what they left us with. Right now, as we are striving to live with
|
||
|
|
bullshit jobs, yuppies are ready to retire after 30 years of an easy
|
||
|
|
deskjob, and looking forward to 20 years of easy retirement. Since these
|
||
|
|
yuppies are retiring in five or so years, that puts us at age 25 - 30.
|
||
|
|
Companies would rather hire people fresh out of college around 21 or 22
|
||
|
|
years old. That puts us out of the game basically in most of the job
|
||
|
|
market.
|
||
|
|
On top of leaving the GenX age range out of potential jobs, these
|
||
|
|
same yuppies leave us with over 1.5 trillion dollars in debt while they
|
||
|
|
live off savings and mutual funds. Taxes hit us harder and cause our
|
||
|
|
standard of living to go down, while theirs stays the same.
|
||
|
|
On top of fewer jobs, and a more competitive job market, we get
|
||
|
|
to deal with a completely fucked up political system with no bright tunnel
|
||
|
|
at the end. On top of having to deal with it, most of us have no desire to
|
||
|
|
sink ourselves into the corruption that is prevalent in the system. After
|
||
|
|
the political system, we get to deal with the environment since our
|
||
|
|
parents have been plundering our resources unmercifully for years.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another fun thing we get to deal with is social security. Basically,
|
||
|
|
there is not enough money in reserve to pay for my social security when it
|
||
|
|
is time for me to collect. With all this bearing down on people my age, we
|
||
|
|
have to wonder what is left for our generation?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Respect. That is the only thing that we can honestly demand from
|
||
|
|
anyone else. Not so much pure respect, but at least common courtesy and
|
||
|
|
basic respect toward others that haven't wronged you. When someone refuses
|
||
|
|
to give you fundamental respect, they are worth absolutely nothing, and
|
||
|
|
are meaningless in society. Just like the chimp that I dealt with at the
|
||
|
|
gas station, these people are getting to be more and more prevalent in
|
||
|
|
today's society.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I understand if yuppies and older people deny us any respect, but
|
||
|
|
from one GenX'er to another, that should be the one thing you are willing
|
||
|
|
to show since we have nothing else. The other thing to remember, is if you
|
||
|
|
deny someone respect, and that is the only thing left, be prepared to
|
||
|
|
suffer any consequences for doing so. If you show someone that it is a cruel
|
||
|
|
world, and you don't give a shit, they may show it back in other ways.
