Nope. Our generation is pathetic and lazy due to advances in technology.

How pathetic are we you ask? A Sophmore student in one of my classes asked a question the other day: "What's a firearm? When your arm is on fire?" That happened this Friday. o.O I had to shake my head in disgust.

I feel we aren't capable of doing as well as we did in the past. I mean look at the U.S. We feel we're the world's Big Brother. We jump into other people's business (i.e. Iraq). And then what? We stay in the pointless war that'll probably take a few years to solve. It's another Vietnam War. Nothing is going to happen as a result of us jumping in. It's pointless.
