My generation scares me to death....
i agree, i got my *** WHOOPED if i messed up when i was growing up, they cant do that now. you cant blame it all on parents though. like, a friend of mine, no matter what he wants, he gets it. his parents could have told him no a million times, and he would go behind their back and do whatever. and alot of parents dont have good relationships with their kids. i could tell my parents anything and they would listen and talk back. now everyones out all night because their parents think they are "at the movies with friends" when they are really out drinking and barely making it home safely.
but the gun thing..my dad taught me how to use guns, shoot guns, safety and all that when i was about 10 years old..and if i ever wanted to go out and kill a snake or skunk or squirrel or something, i could...as long as when he got home i told him "hey daddy, i shot a turtle today." he was fine with it
and this baggy pants, queer hat, horse crap. i can deal with out that..i wonder how in this redneck town in texas i get weird looks in boots and wranglers and a can of snuff in the back pocket..

I can't stand it either. They all act like they are high above you and want instant entitlement. No one ever opens the door for one another or says please and thank you. All have thier nose stuck up in the air. Alot of it like everyone else says its the parents which is true, plus all the media and reality tv snooki real world BS. I'm sick of it all too.

You know where I put the blame for all of this?
I put the blame on all of those touchy-feely, belly rubbing Johnny Sensitive types that are more worried about hurting a kids ego and psyche than on discipline. We have been brainwashed by all of these educated eggheads that little Johnny hurts inside when he gets spanked and that he will carry this hurt with him the rest of his life. BULLFEATHERS !!!!!
Yes, I got my butt beat many times by a good old fashioned leather belt by my old man when I acted up, not to mention slapped upside my head when it was inconvenient to use the belt. And to all the touchy-feely Johnny Sensitive types, I am a very well adjusted adult that can behave quite well in today's society.
When I was growing up, getting a spanking was called discipline. Today it is cruel and unusual punishment. Not only that, but I also remember that the word 'NO' was used around me, and when I threw a fit about it, I received discipline. I believe it was called 'proper parenting'. You did something wrong in society or home, you received a punishment; whether it was a spanking, grounded, or otherwise, depended on the 'crime'. It used to be the same thing we did to criminals until the Johnny Sensitive types thought that they could 'rehabilitate' criminals.
Just to add further, the company I work for recently added a new person to the office; one of these 20 something 'entitled' types. She thinks she should not have to do those things that everybody else does, like clean up after themselves in the break room, assist each other, etc., because she is "a princess, and should be treated like one'. EVERYBODY at work asks our supervisor at our monthly reviews, 'when are you getting rid of her?' NONE of the 40 something plus crowd can stand to be around her, much less help her with her problems at work. There is even a pool started based on the date she finally either quits or gets fired.
And to the OP: I agree with you that in today's kids, there are very few that I would even consider to be well behaved and disciplined enough to be in society. Most of the ones I see remind me just how deplorable today's parents really are, and how far discipline standards have sunk. I can not stand to be anywhere near todays 'time out' kids that do not receive real discipline, nor can I stand to be around the 'entitled kids' that think they should get everything handed to them on a silver platter. I've had to work hard for what I have, you can earn it yourself, junior.
At a recent family gathering, my sister's time out, entitled kid thought it would be funny to punch Uncle Bill in the 'crotch area'. Well, it continued until I saw she was going to do nothing about it, and I went and slapped him right back in his 'jewelry', and he screamed like I just shot him. When the 'breeding heffer' asked me what I did, I said, "He punched me in the crotch area, I just returned serve. Control your kids before you try to control me!!!" I also reminded her that I would be glad to show her what proper discipline and parenting was, if she needed training or a refresher course. Needless to say, I no longer am graciously welcome at family gatherings, and when I do get invited, I tell my family my demands for disciplined children around me, otherwise I will do the discipline and leave after making my point very well known.

I agree with it all.
