I don't read that as disrespectful, but more an attempt to say while asking that your of a generation that knows stuff !! Can do what I can't do ... perhaps ?
One also needs to understand that these past 30 years have produced a generation of young adults where many have very piss poor communication skills and limited stranger or general public interaction experience. This more a regional thing being city kids and country kids grown up vary greatly in such skill sets.
These posts always make me laugh. Kids born today aren't coming out of their mothers any different than they did 80 years ago. The difference is the environment they are growing up in and the people that are raising them. If you have a problem with today's youth... Put the blame where it belongs... WITH SOCIETY/PARENTS/TEACHERS, THAT ARE RAISING THEM.
