Exactly. The entitled generation..

 

Just poking fun,no offence. Heck I can't even spell my own name sometimes with out taking out my wallet!

 

Excuse me? I resemble that comment...

<<23 year old

 

You're not entirely judgmental or anything... I think the behavior of the youth is really dependent on where you live. Country folks, suburbanites, city dwellers, etc each are raised in a way that is unique. To make a general assumption based on one or two people's actions is not only unfair, but just immature. You don't think that the old fogies of decades past didn't think your generation was a bunch of hoodlums and entitled ******? Seriously, its the same song and dance with different dance partners.

Also, your reaction to your nephew or whomever that was is just downright wrong and immature. Let him act like an *******, but use that as an example for how not to behave to your children (if you have any). If the kid is let to be an ******* as a kid, you can be sure he won't last very long acting that way and will figure it out eventually. If not, he'll become a congressman.

Also, as for the education system, remember this... us 20 somethings did not elect the politicians that made the decisions regarding education policy and course content (I've only been eligible to vote once for president so far at 23), that would be the 30 somethings, 40 somethings, etc... So, if you can't tolerate the lack of education provided to the current generation, perhaps you should consider your past political choices and realize maybe you screwed up somewhere...

 

WAAA-WAAA-WAAA! It's not my fault! Boo Hoo Hoo!

Mildred, get my belt.

That is exactally what they are talking about. Take some responsibility and grow up.

 

Excuse me, but that has to be the most immature post i've ever read, and you're telling me to grow up?

Sounds like someone was spanked so much as a kid, that they were given an inferiority complex... now they must make everyone feel like **** because they were hit and abused as a child.

I'm all for corporal punishment, don't get me wrong (i got the belt as a kid) but if you are too dense to see that the upbringing of a child is 100% related to their behavior as an adult, then perhaps your view is incorrect, because when I'm a grown *** man (aka older than dirt, aka over 35 jk), I would not want to be the ignorant tool threatening a belt and telling people they need to grow up.

To further prove my point, how many alcoholics had a parent that was? How many smokers had a parent or role model that was? Seriously, think about it.

And finally, what specifically would you like me to take responsibility for? The education system that I did not have any influence over?

Also, I don't want to sound like a ****, but correctly spelling 'exactly' would probably be a good idea if one is going to complain that our generation is a group of entitled, undereducated, worthless pieces of ****...

 

Look son there are consiquences to every thing in life. When a child learns that early on they will do better in society. Your post had the distinct sound of thumb sucking, that is why I put that in there.

At 23 years old I'm sure you have many years of experience in raising kids, right? Well I do. I've worked with kids alot as a parent of 3, foster parent of 1, coach in several sports and Scouting. Whinning will get you nowhere. I have mentored at least 10 young men from begining to Eagle Scout. They ALL earned that honor themselves-with out crying about things in life being not their fault. THEY TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR SELF!

I think both of your last two posts are pretty funny, only because after you gain a little more experience your view of things will change. Trust me on that one.

But I am just a little curious as to what you would do with little Johnnie whacking Uncle Bill in the sack? Maybe praise him for his excelent aim so his little ego would be protected? That way when he grows up and gets his butt kicked or whatever he gets into he could blame it on some one else. If it were my kid Uncle Bill wouldn't have to do anything except listen to the apology from my kid after I whacked him.

Do I advocate beating kids, no. Do I think a kid that doesn't respond to less painful corrective measures needs a good smack, you betcha!

 

06blue if you want to insult me please don't hide it in a post edit, give it to me straight out.
Also I never said anything about education. I was refering to character.
If you have a problem with my spelling then please refer to post #32 in this thread-IT'S NOT MY FAULT!

 

06bluemeaniexl:

With all due respect, junior, let me give you a dose of REALITY.

1. My judgement on the youth of today is not just from 1 or 2 peoples actions, but THOUSANDS of youth in that age range that ACTED THE SAME WAY over many years. Therefore, the judgement was made based on OVERWHELMING SUPPORTING DATA, not just a 'one time only' episode.

2. With regards to my nephew: I will defend my actions with regard to him all the way to the United States Supreme Court as proper discipline of a child by showing him the consequenses of his actions using him as the test subject. Maybe you like getting your junk punched on a regular basis, but I DO NOT APPRECIATE IT !!!! And when I mention it to the child's mother and they DO NOTHING about it, I WILL TAKE THE MATTER INTO MY OWN HANDS AS FAR AS DISCIPLINE GOES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!! Maybe you can walk away with an all warm and fuzzy feeling and laugh it off, but when I get punched in the junk REPEATEDLY, regardless of who it is, I will only take so much, then it's payback time. The mother is lucky that was all I did; I was all ready to unload on her also. Remember, paybacks are heck, and I just gave my little nephew his payback, by showing him what it felt like. BTW, it is also easy to judge when it isn't you getting your junk punched repeatedly.

3. Blaming the education system for today's kids is like blaming forks and spoons for obesity and pencils for incorrectly spelled words. I placed the blame for today's youth right where it belongs: The touchy feely, belly rubbing, Johnny Sensitive educated eggheads that tell us how to raise our children "correctly", and that what was once called 'proper parenting' by using corporal punishment (or any punishment for that matter) is now wrong. These are the same people that think you can 'rehabilitate' criminals. I also blamed the brainwashed candy a$$ new parents that believe everything these educated eggheads tell them on raising thier kids, from giving the kid a timeout instead of real discipline, and giving into the kid. PROPER PARENTING means USING DISCIPLINE and NOT CAVING IN TO YOUR KIDS WANTS. NO WONDER today's kids feel 'entitled'; their parents cave into them, so they think the rest of the world should cave into them. Sorry, junior, the real world doesn't work that way. The earlier you learn that, the better your life will be.

Today's "Spare the Rod and Spoil the Child" pseudo parenting manure is just that: BULL MANURE!!!!!! I have seen enough of it, and continue to see the consequences on a daily basis. IT MAKES ME SICK !!!!

 

Well said AzMrBill!

 

Try being in High School. I feel like i have my head on right, work two jobs, school, bills. Regardless i have a lot of friends, i see this everyday. Lack of parenting. I know my mom and dad beat my ***. I will beat my kids ***'. I am a strong Republican. I dont believe in handouts. Publix is a huge shopping market down here, i work their evenings part time and i see who does and does not get handouts, WIC and food stamps. Its horrible.

 

First off just wanted to say howdy all, haven't posted much of anything in a few months but still check in on the forums every other day or so. Hasn't been much of anything that i can contribute to but thought i would share my .02 on this topic.

I am part of fore mentioned age group, at 20, unmarried and without kids, i know i don't have a whole lot to base my opinions on, but heres the way i see things.

Where to begin yikes, i think i have written and deleted 4 sentences on this line. Op says our generation is the problem, is it a problem yes, why do i think that, because i deal with it on a daily basis. Everyones about themselves, and what people owe them, and its not just our generation its people of all ages, but our generation is where it is coming into the light in a majority factor rather than a minority.

I believe people appreciate things more when they have to work for it, learn the value of a dollar, something many kids my age don't understand, to them money is simply numbers and decimals on a credit card statement. Many things are handed to them because "well their just kids growing up and they need to have fun and enjoy being young" theres no reason a kid cant learn a good lesson bout earning something every once and awhile. Allowance is a perfect example.

I learned the value of a dollar when i was 10, spent all summer mowing my neighbors lawn, once a week, and made 15 dollars each time, i saved my money and purchased my first gun, a .22 from my grandpa, he showed me responsibility and safety with that .22, he passed a year later but i still have that ole .22 and all the memories and lessons it carries.

Jump ahead 8 years, i was a senior in high school when i bought my baby, brand new, parking in student parking with a vehicle nicer than what most teachers drive. Now i can see you all jumping and gasping in your chairs with disbelief who am i to be sitting here passing judgement upon my peers. I will say this i am the primary lien holder on the title, my parents gift to me was my dads co-sign. I got my truck in April of 08, and did not ship out for the Air Force until October of that year, and let me just say that summer i worked 40-45 hour work weeks at a quick lube, on my partial days and day off i worked side jobs (yard work, scrapping) whatever i could get my hands on, i managed to pay the truck note, insurance, and between 60 and 70 dollars a week in gas, but you reap what you sew, my parents haven't put a dime to my truck note and its been 2 and a half years.

Im not looking for sympathy or boasting, i know for a fact there are people out there who do more than i can ever imagine to support their families. They are my idols, and do not look down on them in any way. Its people who waste the opportunities that lie right in front of them, ripe for the taking that make me furious.

I have NEVER EVER been to good to help someone in need, when my friends vehicles break down i don't say "well glad i don't have that problem" i say "whats it doing, lets pop the hood and see whats up, lets get it fixed"

Thats what it is to be American! Rolling up your sleeves and diving in! Thats whats wrong with Americas youth, they say "not my problem" or "someone else is responsible for that", what needs to be said is "What can i do", even if its as simple as picking up a piece of trash in a parking lot as your walking by, or holding a door for someone.

 

We have gotten lazy in America. People look down on hard working people doing menial tasks. There is a reason we have migrant workers and illegals. Too much of America think those jobs are beneath them. Send the migrant workers and illegals home and roll up your sleeves and do the job ourselves. Unemployment would drop to nearly 0 and we would shake the lazy entitled attitudes. A hard days work is good for everyone. Parent need to discipline their children and stop pandering to them. If children are not disciplined and learn good work ethics when they are young they will just turn up their noses to the job at the local grocery store because they feel it is beneath them.
Respect is another thing that is broken here. The entitled generation feels that they do not have to respect someone they do not know because that person has not earned respect yet. This is WRONG. Respect is granted to EVERYONE until a particular person does something to cause it to be lost. Please, Thank you, You're welcome, excuse me, etc. go a long way these days because it shocks people to hear it. My kids say them all the time because they know I will not tolerate them being rude or disrespectful.
We need to find our lost spine and stand up for what is right. Our current government is a blight on the nation. It is supposed to be a government by the people and for the people. Instead it is the people suffering so the government can do what it wants. We need to get rid of the entitlement in our government as well. Stop treating the public like an ATM. Vote out all incumbents. Stop voting for lawyers. An electrician, carpenter, plumber or any hard working individual would make a much better President or Congressman than some Ivy League Entitled Lawyer.

 

sorry but im gonna jump in here a little bit. im 24 years old ive been to iraq 2 of my brothers one is 25 and one is 21 are both in the army as well. i dont beleive its all on bad parenting. ITS that the UNITED STATES AS A WHOLE (i love this country btw) is becoming tree hugging hippies. we spend so much of our ressourses on other countrys when we should be paying attention to our own country. i live in arizona now im white. i am fed up with everyone AND I MEAN EVERYONE who disputes the sb1070 act for illegals in arizona. i see ILLLEGAL mexicans walking around down here in phoenix sitting on the sidewalks not working just sitting there and asking for money. from people like me who earn our own wages and then some. and then a school bus will drop of an *** load of kids in front off all those bums not doing a dman thing. Do u think that those kids will think thats ok. i bet u they do. I blame alot of it on teachers who are trying to be friends with students and have conversations with them during class and laughing. the teacher is there to teach and teach only. he/she can laugh with there coworkers.and now are laws are getting stricter and stricter.y because of stupid ignorant people who are bums and are out in the open. mtv and ur reallity tv shows need to go off air as ur making a fool out of MY country. like jersey shore. every last one of those people are idiots. dont work dont do ****. jsut get paid to be on tv and act foolish. and all these young kids think its alright to act like them dress like them. and best of all drink like them. look at paris hilton. who got what 30 days in jail for her crack bust. wtf is that so all these kids think its ok cause they wont get into to much trouble. wtf. AMERICA


WAKE THE **** UP
