Would you be saying that if the entire world was as intelligent as the general consensus of the comments made by people on youtube? Just curious.
I see no wrong with their intelligence. I think everyone was like that at one point in their life. It's what being a teenager is about. Or do you think most people who post on youtube are in their thirties?
If I recall correctly, I also thought "leet" was awesome when I was 14/15. And I used pretty retarded memes (not that I don't now). Frankly, proper netiquette comes to you with experience; So I don't think these kids dumb, merely inexperienced - they'll be cool given time*.
* Ask any of the older members of this forum what I was like when I first got here. I was even more a prude than I am now. Was overly annoying and used cliche phrases and dumb jokes all the time. Given time, I learned and improved.

I want those zen pills. Where can I get some ?
Just go outside and look at stuff - really fix your gaze at something in nature, and note its complexity. Most people walk by a tree and acknowledge it as a tree, but don't really look at it - it's truly art, nature is. Kids know this, and that's why they're so wide eyed an happy all the time: they don't overlook stuff, they see it for what it is. And it's all freaking amazing. And frankly, I still believe that life can be awesome, and all everyone needs is good friends that will teach you this stuff: outgoing, fun people.
Frankly, one thing about my past self I can't now understand is: when I had my "friends" before, and they treated me like crap, and I didn't find it fun spending that much time with them, why didn't I just stop hanging with them sooner? I think that's something more people should do - look for better friends. From most of the stories i heard here, we could all benefit from nice people around us. Find good friends, find something to do that you love, be it a hobby or job. And I mean love, not just do it because it's "cool". You like drawing? Draw - fuck what the critics think. You like board games like DnD? You're an adult - do it if you like it, and screw what others say about it. You only live once, so enjoy every minute of it.**
