What will there be left to do to outrage the old guys?

I danced with kids who were the offspring of the "Beads and Bongs" Generation. They did it by going "Back to the 40's" Horrors!!!

Re: "don't you know?" LOL, you certainly followed up on this perfectly, and I grinned. Yes, that process among others!

Re: "What will the children of today's youth do to bug their parents? Amputations? Suicide? What will there be left to do to outrage the old guys?"

I was tempted to reply that they would revert to something past, something good(revert to the 40's as Bill was saying?). Then I thought, maybe they'll just follow some unthinkable(to us) course with sex and technology(and maybe even drugs) that becomes a truly good thing in the end as it turns out to set the proper course for the future of relationships. Something good, I thought. But maybe, just something good and ratty such as turning their parents in for all of the drugs they still do. Horrors!

The tough question is this: What will the children of today's youth do to bug their parents? Amputations? Suicide? What will there be left to do to outrage the old guys?

If history is any guide, they will become prudish and straight-laced. The pendulum swings in both directions.
