Of Morality & Youth

Maybe, it has something to do with age. Manila Bulletin recently published the decline of moral standard among the youth of today. I am not surprised as I use to hear my grandparents, aunts and uncles shake their head and say, "The youth today have changed..." and how a single glance on them carried with it a litany of things to do and not to do... that was about a decade or two ago.

In forums, it is normal to discuss about SEB, FuBu, and other things I used to suspect only bar girls would talk about (in a day's work). The farthest I've been exposed to using in an ordinary chat is Fubar, 'cause we once hosted a night (or a couple) of it at Club Dredd (Fubar, BTW, meant fucked-up beyond any recognition, or something as close).

Maybe, it has something to do with the shift of lifestyle, from ordinary office hours, to a 24-hour work environment brought about by call centers. Maybe, it is the coffee shops that proliferated in the metro nowadays...

Take this sampling from a recent chat with a stranger, a Pinoy...
