I was arguing with my dad today and he had me pissed off when he implied Somalia is a shithole because of the younger generation being useless and retards unlike other countries where the their younger generation are leading them, so here is my response to him, skip my rant if you hate long posts about nothing and answer the question at the end.
If you were born 1985-present ,these problems already existed or they were starting. The thing I really don't understand is how the older Somali generations can really blame anyone under 35. Sure, the people under 35 and younger are generally little shits, but were did we learn it from?
Single parent households and an unaccountable society. Now, does that give a reason not to try to make things better? Absolutely not. We should strive to make our country better. We should strive to make a country that can actually stand on it's own, rather than selling it to the highest bidder. We shouldn't just sit down and let another country just buy us out and control us.
We must learn how the world works and how to react to this world around us. What I don't understand is how the older generation can blame us for the challenges currently facing our country. How can they possibly blame us for anything? Yes, we're lazy and dumb as f*ck, but the older generations have set everything up for us.
A society that cares nothing about accountability. A society that cares nothing about hard work. A society that would rather place the blame on someone else rather than fixing the problem at hand. Our economy is shit, Our society is shit. Our culture is shit. Our FUTURE is shit.
How about instead of criticising our laziness and lack of ability to change you teach us or show us how to change? We have been taught from birth that our government is right no matter what. We have been taught how to obey. That is how things were in the 70s and 80s. TEACH US. EDUCATE US. We want to care.
There is nothing to unite under though. There is no society to fight for. People in our country and abroad are ashamed to be Somali. Where is our pride? Where is our reason to care? We are the most misinformed generation because our media is shit and our parents think of us as so much of a joke that they don't care to tell us where a reliable source for information is.
We ARE dumbasses. Some of us want to break out of this bullshit shell of believing everything the media says and believing that our government always has our best interest at heart. We want to break out of this bullshit spell that iPods and smart phones have us under but we were born in the reality that these things are essential to our survival, which is complete bullshit.
All I'm saying is educate us like your parents or society educated you rather than blaming us for not knowing shit when you do not want to teach us. We have just as much of the blame to shoulder as the older generation, but we don't know how to break out of our bullshit ass rut.
We need a purpose. Every human needs a purpose. But we as Somalis have nothing to fight for. Look around and think about it. I'm sure you have; and hopefully you'll see as I have, there is no hope for the human race. We are going to kill each off other within the next ten years and have Ethopians takes over.
It's sad how the younger generations have to clean up the older generations mess, but that's what the human learning experience is all about. They make mistakes, we learn from them and do better.
The next generations will learn from our mistakes and do even better. It's just how it is. It amazes me even now what my kids are learning in preschool. Stuff I didn't learn until I was maybe in 1st or 2nd grade. The generations after them will be learning algebra in preschool by the way things are going now.
We advance as a race. It's just how it is. So as sad and difficult as it is, history is a bunch of lessons people learn from. Without learning from our past mistakes, we wouldn't get anywhere.
It's human nature to error. Learning from them and being able to change the outcome is part of what makes us intelligent. Can other animals do that? Sure! But only a handful have shown that they are capable of learning from what they experience.
Let our parents f*ck things up so we can learn how to do it better. It may be frustrating to have to clean up someone else's mess, but as a parent I do that every day. We do our best to teach our babies to survive in the world me made with hopes they can make something better out of it as they get older and wiser.

Does the younger generation should be blamed for Somalia being a shithole? Why are old farts still in charge in Somlia unlike other countries where young minds are running the show? Do we deserve to be treated like this way?
