Who has it better? [kids or adults]

I think the victim role plays a big part here. Nobody wants to say they have it better. I mean, it's only human.

I think being a kid has it's goods and bads and vice versa. But adults just have it better. More freedom. You don't live with people that decide what you do most of the time. [not that parents are a bad thing] You can get in a car and go wherever you want by yourself.

It's natural for people to look back on childhood and see the good things they miss because they are biased into thinking they are the victim.

Anyways, what made me think of this debate was this Calvin and Hobbes strip.

no, i actually wish i was an adult. i think both parties have about the same amount of freedom, because even though kids have to obey parents, they dont have to pay bills and all that with jobs and stuff, and they get free food and luxuries.. but, i wish i was old enough to get a job so i could help my mom and also be able to buy all the stuff i want without having to be afraid to ask! i can buy ALL THE VIDEO GAMES I WANT!!!! MWUHAHAHAHAHA!!! but still, getting all the video games and action figures and other toys etc. i could possibly want( i know i sound boyish with all of the things i want, but who cares, girls can do that! :) )!!

Although I could argue the advantages of each, I'm going to go with kids. The greatest things about being a kid are 1-you don't have to do laundry, cook your own food, go to work, or otherwise be responsible for yourself, and 2-you split your time between learning and playing, both of which are fun to do.

Have you seen these brats? Thirteen year old walking around with cell phones, designer clothes, new cars, and cash their parents gave them. Spoiled brats and one ask who has it better.

Wow. Where do you live where a 13-year-old gets a new car? :p

But it makes me sick when I see 8-year-olds getting cell phones. What the hell do the need them for? They're always with a parent or at school!

Side: Kids

One girl that I babysit is eleven. She goes to private school, speaks German and French, and has a cell phone and a debit card.

I mean, really?

Honestly, our age group has it the BEST. lol. We have our responsibility and our freedoms, but not too many of each. Like, we can stay out late and have fun, we can vote, we can join the military, but we usually don't pay bills and stuff like our parents do! 18 ftw!

But between these two, kids. I'd rather spend a day having fun and not worrying about myself or anyone else than spend a day worrying about money and relationships and everything like that.

Well we are kind of in the middle a lot would say we have it best.

I'm talking being 8 vs being 30.

Side: Kids

LOL...Hell my grandson has a cell phone and he's only 10 years old. But it's only used for calling home to ask if he can go to xyz and play or stay at blah-blah's house for supper. Kids have it way better than adults in general even though I know they don't think so. They want to get to the age of freedom never considering that along with that freedom comes responsibility, work and bills galore. Yep, I'll go with kids on this one!

Side: Kids

Kids have it better because they get to believe in Santa Claus and they are sheltered from the evil in this world.
