kids these days rant

I wonder if there has ever been a generation where people of one generation did not worry about the work-ethic of the people in the following generation?

I bet Neil Armstrong's dad used to bitch him wondering if he would ever amount to anything worthwhile.

I used to do a lot of bush regeneration work, leading teams of Australian and international volunteers mostly weeding and planting trees. The wetlands (read swamp) work was particularly dirty and difficult, and I didn't find much difference with generations.

Nationalities, now thats different!

I won't go into the shabbiest, laziest, whiniest little beggars

...but the most dedicated, hard working and uncomplaining were the Japanese girls. They'd just dig right in-snakes and all-and I had to plead with them to take a break.

Bloody legends.....
