Yeah, this would also work perfectly. Can't decide who needs their asses kicked more, the artist or the audience. Probably both equally.

QuoteSemaj, my piece on Kitty Genovese:
It bugs me, like LMNO. Because the fact that she did get up and walk inside made the few people who saw her (as LMNO has already provided evidence that it was 4 or 5 people), think she was oka,y or at the very least not as badly off as she was.
Even the drunkard DID contact someone to try to get her help. So, yeah, it bugs me.
QuoteI do like the rewrite, though you might want to change the the last paragraph a little bit. It just doesn't seem to flow right for some reason.
QuoteNo worries, all is well.
QuoteI DO like advice, just not from my parents. Though this might stem from my opinion of them as people. I do try to think about their advice though.
Complicated shit is complicated.
QuoteNo prob. Even if I did believe that for a minute, I wasn't pissed, just like confused and sad because I didn't think I got my point across, or something.
QuoteMaybe we young kids should ask Roger.
QuoteWell yeah. I'd say more on Kitty Genovese, but that's not in this thread.
QuoteYes indeed. But somewhere just before your mid twenties, you'll realize that they do have some good points. But that doesn't mean you'll like it, or want to take their advice. I don't know when that kicks in.

Ah. My comprehension is going a bit, I'm more than a little loopy and exhausted.
QuoteBasically because it was.. well, wrong, as LMNO pointed out already.
QuoteAlso, I wasn't being willfully ignorant. sad The edit I put in put my thinking in better context, and more fully explained my thinking.
QuoteYES. SO MUCH YES. Particularly the bolded parts.
It's something that just happens, I think, to teenagers in general since forever, them thinking they know better. But some get it worse than others, and it's these who are The Worst.
QuoteThat's a good point. But that's not really the point of this essay, is it?
QuoteI think "We grow up" is an equally valid way of saying it. To me it implies an inclusive statement, encompassing past and future generations. In this case, I think it would work well as a rhetorical device.
That said, great piece, Semaj. I like this one much better than the last one.
QuoteThat's why in that post I had a question mark next to it. But thinking about it, these new generations aren't really learning what they need to. I don't know if it's just the one I was living with, or if it was her school, or if was any other thing, but I have a feeling that people will not be learning much anything for much longer, if only because the sense of entitlement that many Americans seem to possess is growing out of control.
QuoteAwesome, I wish you luck with that.
QuoteThat's what I saw in part 1, so I thought I'd give a hand this way.
QuoteI'm just a proof-reader, dude, this is your babby.
