Why do youngsters, ie, the next generation

[Doc Spock]

think they they know more than us 60 year olds.


Their general knowledge is crap.


Just look at weakest link etc.


Is it because they read crap like Hello etc.

[legend758duo]

Dunno doc .Fancy a drink?

[Doc Spock]

Leg me owd mucker, I have got an 8.5% lager and a large rum n coke.

[Goodsoulette]

IS it because you 60 year old are drunk.....tut tut

[Doc Spock]

Well Goody, it appears I am drunk every night, or so the missussays.

Cos general knoledge changes over times....?

In your days it was expected to know about the Kings & Queens...these days it's better to know the names of the people in S Club 7 :o)

[*Princess*]

Plus, in the olden days there were no such things as magazines, you guys read BOOKS

Haha! ;o)

[Skreecheeboy]

I agree with you doc, general knowledge has been dumbed down. I usually get way more right than the contestants on weakest link but I rarely read any of that crap. It's infuriating what gets passed off as being news these days.

[pastafreak]

" knowledge" really doesn't describe it tho ,does it?? it is gossip .or 'soft' news-with no staying power or substance.

[Doc Spock]

Quite right Pasta.

[pastafreak]

Well....if there really WAS any knowledge involved.....the programs wouldnt get the ratings. The lowest level of intelligence= audience figures.
