What a righteous remark  , i dont know these, thanks for your intstructional post 
What a grumpy old man remark 
The same stories come from middle aged men from Holland, England, everywhere actually. When they were young, everything was better. I think every generation has its lazy people, rude people, respectless people. And I also think every generation has people who do show respect to the elderly, do help people out, and do have intelligent discussions about politics and such.
Every new generation of middle aged people says the same thing about the younger generation.

Another grumpy old senior man here. I must be at least a fortnight older than vineyards and I agree some of the things the youngsters of today take for granted were not available when I was young. That is no TV, computers or mobile phones. We seemed quite happy with our lot but as they say nostalgia is not what it used to be. I have no problems with the youth of today and my oldest grandchild goes to university later this year.
I´m sure you take things for granted now that you didn´t even have as a child. When my mother was young, she didn´t have hot running water, no shower, no phone at home, only 1 uncle of hers had a car, etc. But she doesn´t scream with amasement every time she steps under a hot shower and opens the door of her car. That´s just a human trade. We get used to things. This is not a thing of youth, but a thing of people of all ages.
I have to say, staying in a tiny village in Turkey sometimes has taught me to not take my hot shower and my GREAT toilet bowl for granted  And how great are washing machines?! But even the effect of being stripped of your luxuries wears off after a while.

So true. Spent 3 weeks in March in Turkey. As wonderful as it was, I missed my "luxuries." However, there are so many wonderful things about Turkey that I miss when I am away!

I just luv new generation in Turkey, and i do not find them much different from other young generations.They are just the way they should be at these times with an access to technology and education.I think saying all are lazy is a bit exaggerated.Young people I know have their dreams, ambitions and values.They are still polite and highly emphatic.What is wrong with their will to enjoy life?Adolescence is the time to grow up,adult´s life will curb them enough in the future.
