The fact is losing is part of life, and growing up, builds character..............some parents need to know that their kid is a degenerate and is not special and deserves a good slap every now and then.......
"how dare a teacher yell at my kid, she has no right, he only threw a desk at her". In Northern Jersey parents are too concerned about their psychical appearance and their social status, they can't be bothered with raising their kids properly........
ok Im done rant over, angry enough as it is
You are not the only one who feels this way, dont worry. I'm also 27 and disgusted with where this country is going and how people my age act. I just went to an out of town wedding, and rather than chat with the other 20-something morons, we spent the night with the parents! Much more interesting people to talk to ... Like you said, most people our age have a mentality that they deserve everything. Buuuuut, thats what happens when the government and corrupt politicians promise to take care of everything for you, and do everything for you. People have gotten lazy and we're becoming a nanny state, full of impotent and ignorant citizens. But lets face it, ignorant people are much easier to control. And the wife wonders why I absolutely refuse to take part in this politically correct nonsense.
"Listen, kids are like any other group of people, a few winners and a WHOLE lotta losers ... you cant save 'em all ... stop over-protecting them ... todays kids are waaaay too soft" From a comedian, yes. But very true.
