What is wrong with America?

My only comment on spankings is I'm sure tired our boys taking them on Sundays. Here's hoping that ends this Sunday and we start laying our own spankings on the competition.

I agree that too much technology has hurt the modern world, making us not as good a people as past generations.  Our children have it a bit too easy and feel a bit too entitled (12 yr olds that feel they have a "right" to have a cell phone) and don't have to work as hard for stuff.

 

And there's too many children in general.  Too many dumb parents who have kids that they can't really afford to support and raise properly.  A general problem of overpopulation.  This sounds evil but if a lot of people died off, the people who remained would have more space, more jobs, less crime to deal with, etc.

 

The best thing that could happen to us would be if Canada and Mexico randomly decided to invade and we get into a massive land war with them that kills off a nice segment of our population.  It might suck for those who died but the people who remain probably live better.

 

you will have to wait until 2012 for that type of thing

The only thing that I have a problem with in singing the praises of what Tom Brokaw has called the Greatest Generation compared to today's spoiled kids and their parents is that there is only one party to blame for the failings of baby boomers.

 

The greatest generation really sucked as parents.

 

One only has to see how self-centered the baby boomers and their offspring are to see that the Greatest Generation simply sucked at producing quality kids.

 

For any indictment of modern society really the buck must stop with the greatest generation.
