[versusyourass1]

So True !

[veronica75627]

1,013 people didn't watch the whole video :D

[Graceski1]

Fricken awesome!!!

[vilameat]

really makes you think

[Tommahawk1986]

1012 misclicks

[Simpa52]

my teacher gave this as homework to translate and it was the best homework ever:)

[Timmer66Productions]

Nice!

[Featherfaceful]

This is so moving and touching but in an interesting and a mathematical way

[SallySunshine001]

<3

[ChickenLuvsMe]

Whoa this literally blew my mind away. 

[GnarlyBryan]

MINDFUCKED!?!?!



[blackpoodle123123]

this is one word. amazing.

[MJFAN666]

Nice. Good to see that this has more views than that I love jesus shit. No content on that retard's part.

[yummybeefyboy]

Makes you really think

[Fizzydog77]

"This video was created for the AARP U@50 video contest and placed second"

SECOND!?!? What was first? This was genius, just...wow

[mgollad1]

Thank You!!! Gorgeous!

[joeasmythe]

aarp sucks, I used to be a member until I found out they were shilling for the big insurance co., and obamacare.

[MrVspecial]

how did you write the text, and how to reverse it?

[andyblazer15]

I saw this in FACS and civics, very good video....... From my iPod. ;)

[NarwhalsAteMyFriends]

Saw this vid. in Langauge Arts! c:

[Monkey11555]

Am i the only one beliving that this is writen by Destorm's Daughter?

[ZAbest234]

my teacher showed this to our class and at first i was kind of sad and depressed when she was peading this but then it got to the part where she was reversing it all i got hope that it doesnt have to be that way:)

[baremark]

9gag.



[jetsrock18]

Somehow this only got second in some source of competition.

[FROSTBITE6888]

thumbs up if destorm brought u here!

[jeannebeth5]

Thank you for the encouragement that I need when I think about the world my grandchildren are inheriting from the children of the "great generation".

[Sayris13]

Freakin' Brilliant! :D

[RebelsWillLiveOn]

This is still depressing despite being reversed. READ THE TITLE. The positive "side" is a LOST generation meaning it doesn't exists. Lost has 2 meanings.

[NyxEos360]

@RebelsWillLiveOn Being lost doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it simply means it needs to be found.

[witness402]

who dislikes shit like this i mean did they only listen to the first 51 seconds

[OnTreader]

@witness402 i think people who didn't like it disliked it. just a guess.

[witness402]

@OnTreader well i think thats a good guess but i just dont understand it

[Shafaetislam]

In the starting I thought it was kinda stupid, but then she said like 'reverse' then I was like "wait there is something special" and then I got it!

It's amazing! I love it!

1 minute video taught me that there is hope!

[RyanSpaight]

@sethkoch1 If you're referring to the desegregation of America, go fuck yourself.

[sethkoch1]

No mention of God? That's the problem with this video. If you go back before 1963 most social conditions were improving. After 1963, all social conditions have steadily deteriorated. Find out what happened in 1963, and you'll know what you're really looking for.

[plkitty980]

@sethkoch1 this wouldnt have been chosen if it mentioned God because all of the people out there who dont believe in God might leave AARP which is exactly what they dont want

[pspsolutions]

Absolutely amazing!

[MrTman2395]

its like a good mindfuck

[beailovejesus]

LIKELIKELIKE that was wayyy unexpected! Awesome job - really inspiring! :D

[MrEjals]

amazing much?

[LiBsTaRoX]

:O WOW

[KlarissaKennedy]

Omg amazing

[wilie123]

No you are not part of a lost generation you are one of the luckiest generation ever living on the face of the earth just compare your self with the generation burdening the WW1-2 with with the youth in middle age with our ancestors leaving africa so yes" WE" have problems and we are working to solve it but no generation was so dis orientated and cushioned like yours

[pooscifer]

@wilie123 This. I'd MUCH rather have been born in my generation now, and deal with a few character flaws and break-ups, than in previous generations riddled with wars, racism, sexism etc. Plus hasn't the health of the environment gone up since the 80's or some such crap? IDK but I'm pretty sure we're making a positive turn with regards to environment since it's so trendy to care about it now.

[DavidJ77]

Fantastic!!! Don't know how she came up with this but it really made me proud. Great job!!!

[khokhar4]

I wanted to punch her at the beginning but then it made more sense.

[ForeverPeaceYoung]

i love the ending. and the beginning makes me wanna puke bcuz its soo sad and negative!!!!!!!!!!!!!>:( but i love it at the end

[ReallyZala]

I Love It!

[naturalmeatswinnipeg]

Mind blowing. Like I'm still processing it

[jeaniebaby001]

[PaoloKPresents]

[loveart4895]

THis is AWESOME! So glad we have hopeful youth!

[jhsiao55]

[meatballeatter]

Knowledge is power.

[IReallyAmIronMan]

THATS AWESOME.

[mthoodhippy]

poignant

[BerfinH]

law of attraction

[care337]

My teacher challenged me to write one of these poem. and i succeed but i would like to know what program did you use to make it scroll down and then back up? it would really help me out thanks.

[StephenHawkins1]

Looks like the new generation have arrived. Wisdom is what 2012 appears to be bringing. :)S

[hiitisbrooke]

[amirahlee]

Still having goosebumps watching this.

[mindlessGRANDer143]

My teacher showed my class this today. I was amazed! I love it!

[WhiteSpartan999]

My teacher showed this in class and he almost cried. This video is beautiful.

[ShapelyDice]

Straw? No, too stupid a fad; I put soot on warts

[KayMyrtadq246]

hihi schaut mich an bin ein frosch

[darkangel12308]

i can't believe im 13 and have already lost hope, but maybe reed is right we at least have to try.

[educationalnut]

Very well done

[MrTimflores]

[aliya369]

cool Be ready to jump to the world full of pleasure

[johncrodz]

Hehehe...

Perspective!

[troyella0stories0]

I really love this. (:



[r0ehamster]

I defer to the wisdom of a certain young master Eric Cartman, from the fine town of South Park in the American state of Colorado: "I dont need to hear crap from a bunch of hippies !"

[ma291]

I am glad that we can revers this. :)... there is hope!

[SweetiePieeKewlKyra4]

I came here from Destorm's video ,, :L

[krusader85]

Clever

[123majh]

Wow this is a really cool video.... just gotta watch the whole thing! haha my mom showed me this and i was like why are you showing me this? and then i got to the second part...

[Narutoluv3rr]

Destorm anyone...?

[dumbboss]

@Narutoluv3rr unfortunately yes =(

[tastysweetapple]

Very deep

[ociloci]

lol

I took ages until I realised that you could read it from bottom to top.

[TheMarriageBedCom]

The power of choice - USE IT!

[tinkerbell716]

great poem. i hope we all believe in a better world by BEING a part of a better world (that means environmentally and putting your values in love and family, not money and work)

[AndrewKeenaqj65]

hehe das was ich entdeckt habe geht sowas von ab

[ThatsMRBenyamin2u]

a damn good poem, and well put together. There are a few weak lines, that, if watched twice, do jump out at you, however, overall I love it..

[yummygummyberrie]

this really makes me think. Always question things and think for yourself

[jugeoben]

991 Capitalists waiting for the slaughterhouse. Oh how I want to see their demise.

[stepharnos]

@downyourtube the garden was destroyed in the flood

[Fluffezze]

Ahhh fucking shit you did it now. . . their watching you.

[healthconcious]

Really makes you think. Education is ones of the keys to change.

[soccerslife1116]

I saw this in health class and it touched my heart, just by the way she said it made my day and now i memorized each word, and i honestly say it to myself sometimes. This is amazing.

[HumblingCamel]

Hipstaz be hipstin

[PuppyZonny]

[arnoudmulder]

[antoniadi2]

[neogenesisfool]

Great video and I'm glad to see you placed. What video got first place?

[shewillbeloved1693]

I refuse to believe I am apart of a lost generation. Yes, there IS hope. There is.

[miiQuincy]

It's a negative saying when you read it. But saying it backwards is positive.

[MrTman2395]

@miiQuincy well arent you fucking clever

[paky2821]

who created this.... there a Guineas

[Qp0wer]

[msentie1]

[markreilly52]

Thanks for sharing this video. It's all about the choices that we make ... either because we embrace them wholeheartedly, or because we sit back passively and let things happen.

[brownie9810]

thumbs up if Mr. jackson showed you this video

[IWhoCreate]

Anything that is lost can be found

[Draithy]

Wow.  Just... wow. I didn't expect the turnaround... maybe that's the problem.

[Matumbay]

This is great, but many children today are apathetic and indifferent about many important things. It kind of reminds me of burgess' A Clockwork Orange.

[MZLIBRA1969]

AMAZING!!..BEST VIDEO I HAVE EVER SEEN, THAT TAKES A LOT OF CREATIVITY TO COME UP WITH SOMETHIN LIKE THAT.

[jhsevs]

[muffalufagus]

Who are the morons that disliked this?

[colonel11111]

@muffalufagus people always dislike videos because either they truly didn't like it or they want to be different or special and stand out among everyone else.

[TheSkyhorse82]

This is terrific.

[123jonkey]

[Rumil20]
