Very True!!! Pisses me off everytime I think about it! Kids growing up today are pussies, parents can't or wont discipline, they hide behind idiotic laws, raised by Tv and video games, couldn't work a real man's job, think they're too good to work for a living, parents hand them everything just so they do not have to deal with them. Everyone is so quick to grab a gun instead of taking an *** whooping. Bad thing is, it's only going to get worse!

its amazing how quick things change. i aint but 19 and i remember when i was a little younger that kids used to get the hell beat out of them when they messed up. now most kids just get grounded for a couple days. for instance i know a guy from my town that is 2 or 3 years younger than me. he ran away from home for a week and a half then when he got back a few days later he got a DUI. i think it was the fallowing week he got a bran new mustang. hell if i ran away and got a DUI i would have gotten an *** whoopin and then probably kicked out of my house

I'll give my .02 on this subject. I'm 19 yrs old, raised in a military household now a firefighter/ EMT - Grandfather Full Colonel in Air Force 32yrs . Father grew up military kid and enforced the same rules on me that were enforced on him. I was fortunate enough to go to private school because my parents could afford it. Anyways, I have had my stupid moments as every one has but nothing serious...no run ins with police and what not. In my high school there were kids parents who owned hotel chains, cruise ships and invented micro processing chips...needless to say their kids were spoiled and had no limits on anything. Heres one example Jr year in High school kid gets a 04 HEMI RAM LOADED when he turns 16. Has it for a while and has EVERY BOLT ON and 24's on it. He goes out 2 a party , gets drunk drives home and flips his new truck on the bridge with 3 ppl in it. Recieves no tickets .. 3 weeks later gets a F150 Harley Davidson proceeds to mod it to the T. Kid shows up to next football game drinking a handle of captain while haulin *** in the parkin lot.. Blows my mind, and thats only one story
