GQ‘s “Badass of the Year” Clint Eastwood is a straight shooter. The 79-year-old actor/director, whose latest film “Invictus” tells the true story of South African president and civil rights leader Nelson Mandela, candidly discussed his negative feelings toward modern America in the magazine.
“[The U.S. is] becoming more juvenile as a nation. The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits. The world needs this kind of story nowadays. It’s just … everybody’s so screwed up. It seems like our country’s in kind of a morbid mood, because of the recession or whatever.”

There are so many reasons to dislike where America is headed these days…and he picks teenaged twits? Teens have ALWAYS been twits. That’s why we incarcerate them in school. Oh look, the old guy with the painfully irrelevant, cold war mentality doesn’t like young people. How Novel! :/
Matt, obviously YOU are one of them because you have no clue how to use the English language…or your brain.
