Two wonderful ladies have joined together to attempt to wipe out this terrible American phenomenon! Please join them to end Teenage Poverty!
"We just spent several hours observing teenagers hanging out at our local mall. We came to the conclusion many teenagers in America today are living in poverty. Most young men we observed didn't even own a belt; there was not one among the whole group.
But that wasn't the sad part. Many were wearing their daddy's jeans. Some jeans were so big and baggy they hung low on their hips, exposing their underwear. I know some must have been ashamed their daddy was short, because his jeans hardly went below their knees. They weren't even their daddy's good jeans, for most had holes ripped in the knees and a dirty look to them.
It grieved us. In a modern, affluent society like America, there are those who can't afford a decent pair of jeans. I was thinking about asking my church to start a jeans drive for "poor kids at the mall". Then on Christmas Eve, we could go Christmas caroling and distribute jeans to these poor teenagers.
But here is the saddest part...it was the girls they were hanging out with that disturbed us most. Never, in all of our lives, have we seen such poverty-stricken girls. These girls had the opposite problem of the guys. They all had to wear their little sister's clothes. Their jeans were about 5 sizes too small! I don't know how they could get them on, let alone button them up. Their jeans barely went over their hipbones. Most also had on their little sister's top; it hardly covered their midsections. Oh, they were trying to hold their heads up with pride, but it was a sad sight to see these almost grown women wearing children's clothes.
However, it was their underwear that bothered us most. They, like the boys, because of the improper fitting of their clothes, had their underwear exposed. We had never seen anything like it. It looked like their underwear was only held together by a single piece of string.
We know it saddens your heart to receive this report on the condition of our American teenagers. While we go to bed every night with closets full of clothes nearby, there are millions of "mall girls" who barely have enough material to keep it together. We think their "poorness" is why these 2 groups gather at the mall; boys with their short daddy's ripped jeans, and girls wearing their younger sister's clothes. The mall is one place where they can find acceptance. So, the next time you are at the mall doing your shopping, and you pass by some of these poor teenagers, would you say a prayer for them?
And one more thing.....
Will you pray the guys' pants won't fall down, and the girls' strings won't break?"
We thank you all, Two Concerned Grandmothers...

If you research the hard core pornography which is available on the internet you'll get the shock of your life.
Apparently it is considered to be 'catholic'. (cat - ho - lick)
To be serious...
To be or not to be...
-
It puzzles me how these youths actually manage to make their jeans stay at 'half mast', without actually falling down! :dunno:
-
It puzzles me why they aren't conscripted and marched off the nearest pier into the sea from which they came.

Maybe they have invented an anti gravity machine Simon :D

:lol: They certainly should do that with some of them!

Especially with the guitar twanging, long haired, drug crazed, hippie friends of 'Jesus' Simon.

Strike two:
Mac, watch your behaviour, please. Visitors are likely to find this kind of post offensive.
-
It's this sort of behaviour which I find disgusting Rod.
It didn't happen in the British Army at home.
-
See PM
Have you ever been to America?

This is not the Army. You are out of line. Don't push your luck.
-
It didn't happen in the British Army at home.
so you are saying it did occur when you wheren't at home? i.e. away in foreign countries. Anyway as rod said this isn't the army... we are nice community of people interested in having some fun, so lets please keep it nice (not that a bit of discussion isn't good but there is a line).

How many are we, compared to the global population?

all countrys have tese problems
and most and i did say most armys in the world have suffered all these things internally
as a vet i can attest to this fact
no nation or any very large groups are imune from what you listed
I wish it wern't so but thats the way things are
all youngsters rebel and have since the beginning of time
its called stretching your wings
for now its drooping pants and short tops
in the 20's it was flappers in the 30s in the 50's rock and roll and all along parents world
the next generation will have something new
but the world will survive it
-
but the world will survive it
damn straight it will.. and probably be better for it! (in most cases).
-
Even if they add another 80 billion people?
-
All countries have these problems.
Why?
Do you really know?
How would it be if none of these problems existed?
Why should they exist at all?
How would America be with 100,000 people per state?
-
How would America be with 100,000 people per state?
boring.
-
Even if they add another 80 billion people?
yes. we will be all dead due to our use of fuel before then.. we can easily handle that many in terms of housing and food... the Earth is big!
-
No, the Earth is a finite size.
-
Of a representative 100,000 how many do you know personally and how many are members of - your - family?
Living in Britain do you know the names of all 60 million people?
Does the President of America know the names of all 800 million people?

From talking to people all over the world and having friends.
these problems will exist to the end of time any time you have the human race involved you will have vices
with 100,000 per state this country would collapse
it takes more than that to keep a large city working
you are looking back to the 16 and 17oo's
very few people and very little comerce going on
many died uselessly and many were mistreated very badly by some that wanted a dictatorship and kept their own private armys
happily this was put to an end

Why does anyone need large cities? There weren't any in America 300 years ago.
You are looking back to the 16 and 1700's, very few people and very little commerce going on.
Many died uselessly and many were mistreated very badly by some that wanted a dictatorship and kept their own private armys.
Happily this was put to an end.
What if Singapore was the only populated land mass on the entire planet?
-

Yes, we will be all dead due to our use of fuel before then. We can easily handle that many in terms of housing and food. The Earth is big!
We can easily handle being dead?
We will house and feed the dead then?
Right...
-
I don't know what these two ladies intend to do about it all.
Maybe one will giveth and the other will taketh away.
End result ... nothing.

You cannot organise a society one person at a time. It needs an Army, a body of men, to be able to do anything properly.
