Trading Pokemon Cards

September 25, 2008

I had a perfect example this morning of how badly educated some young people are nowadays.

Good grief - young people - I’m only in my mid-thirties and I’m already using that term.

I was walking down Liverpool St on my way to work, when I my path was blocked by two young drunk men staggering out of the local pub.

Them: “Hey, you wanna trade Pokemon cards?”
Me: “Won’t work on me mate, born here.”
Them: “Bastard - go back to your own country.”

It just shows how badly the education system has degenerated over the past 10 years - an example of the neglect of both State and Federal Governments. Perhaps if they’d put more funding into hiring more teachers instead of waging a class war and giving out tax bribes - we would’ve gotten better educated and more civilized students graduating from our schools. Rather than the kind of uneducated louts that almost mugged me on the way to work.
