The dumbest generation?

[Jun aka Pekto]

well, i am confident that in every generation, bar none, there is always someone saying... "kayong mga bata kayo! in our time..."

Sometimes, we like to compare ourselves to our kids when we were their age. We like to think we had it hard. But, you know. Those older than us would say the same thing about them when comparing themselves to us.

My dad did it too. But, he really had a hard time, considering he got orphaned as a 12-year old in WW2 and had to care (by himself) for his younger brothers and sisters. ;)

my dad's (and yours, too) generation had it really hard. they lived thru WWII. i can not even imagine the horror. but they don't talk too much about it.
compared to them, taob lahat tayo.

My Lolo (Dad's dad) was born in 1917. He constructed our vacation house in the province to have a secret hide out, he said in case there is a war, our family could hide there. I am not sure if he was serious about it! I loved that house. I am not kidding that the entrance to this hide out was through a bookshelf (you can push it to open) My Lolo also had spotlights all over the property. He was a really cool lolo

BTT: I think kids are smarter now. I'm not sure about the EQ though. It's like we are breeding a generation of narcissists. And BTW I believe in spanking. I was spanked by my Dad as a kid and my Dad is still and will always be the number 1 man in my life. I even think he did the right thing spanking me hehehe

My dad refused to buy anything Japanese until very late in his life. So, he probably experienced something very traumatic. None of my uncles or aunts talked about it.

My mom lived through the war as well. But, she, grandma, and all my aunts (on my mom's side) were consistent in saying the Japanese navy personnel (at Cavite) were more disciplined and well-behaved than their army counterparts elsewhere in the area. I often wondered if these were the same navy personnel who put up the fanatical resistance in Manila during their retreat.
