Parenting... Not me personally...
On the train to work the other day I began to eavesdrop on a conversation between a particularly robust mouth breather and his equally well upholstered brood of jr asbos; it went something like this:

Son: "dad, there's a helicopter up there"
Dad: "yeah it's probably the filth"
Son: "might it not be doing google maps?"
Dad: "no son, google maps is done from planes"
Son: "are you sure daddy, they must fly in awfully straight lines"
Dad: "what's with all the fucking questions, who are you? A fucking brain surgeon?"
Son: "sorry daddy"
Dad: "I should fucking hope so you noisy little shit, now get back on your DS; I didn't buy you that fucking thing for you to sit there asking questions all day!"
Son: (silently puts headphones on and ccontinues to play)
Dad: (shakes head incredulously)

One day IQ tests for parents will be mandatory. Roll on the distopian future of breeding permits that scifi always promised me...

" they must fly in awfully straight lines"
It must have been a shock for the dad to have produced a son from the 1950s

You do realise that the event you've just described IS Dystopian?

Yeah
A future where stupid people aren't allowed to breed can't be considered anything but utopian.

Personally I'm waiting for the day we perfect robots to perform all menial labour so we can just go ahead with the socio-economic cleansing of the lumpenproletariat.

aerial maps were originally taken from aeroplanes
but not for the last 20 years or so.

Eh?
They're still taken from planes and pretty much anything else that flies; kites, hot air balloons, paragliders etc.

On the other hand, I heard the best train of logic the other day...
...from a dad to his five y/o daughter. This is in an area where there are no gardens so in summer everyone just brings their chairs into the street to sunbathe, and the kids run around.

DAD: Now, don't run in the road. If you run in the road you'll get run over, and then daddy will have to kill the person who ran you over, and then daddy will get put in prison, and then you won't have a daddy any more. And daddy loves you very much, and you'd probably miss him. So don't run in the road, 'k?

Strategies for remaining ignorant
A colleage of mine says that his ex-wife's family has them.

Proof, if proof were needed...
...that pig-ignorant fucktards are made, not born. That kid is asking some perfectly legit questions and having them stamped on by his idiot dad. Doubtless he too, as a nipper, asked perfectly legit questions only to have them slapped down by a can't-be-arsed parent.

Our "problem youth" don't come about by there being bad children, but from a whole generation of useless parents. And even the nicely spoken middle class ones spoil their kids rotten and don't let them outside to play for fear of paedos and traffic.
