....you can not tell if a given young adult is functionally retarded or if that's just how kids are these days.

I think it would depend upon the teenager.

I've encountered some as dumb as a box of rocks and others with intelliegence, sensitivity and insight well beyond their years.

Sadly, a lot of kids are like that these days. Remember to beat your son regularly, so he doesn't turn out that way

Do you find yourself yelling, "Hey you kids, get off my lawn"?

I don't have a lot of contacts with young adults, but I don't think intelligence is the issue. There are some lessons that can only be learned by making mistakes and having to deal with them.

I find myself having to restrain myself from telling nephews, nieces, and young co-workers about my experiences (and how they can learn from them), but they don't care.

I know I didn't care when I was 21, which is why I was so good at making mistakes.

YOu ever talk to someone and get the impression that no one is managing the switch in their head?

To paraphrase George Carlin...

You know you're getting old when you drop something, start to bend down to pick it up and then ask yourself, "Do I really need that?"
