Man...reading you guy's posts is really depressing. Mostly 'cause it's true... Where I live, my own generation was missed. It probably just took more time for the "Disease" to spread to The Middle Of Nowhere, USA. You can definitely see the trend in the generations behind, however. I remember we used to have high school teachers that we'd had like two years ago, come in to a classroom or something to talk to that class's teacher or whatever and before they'd leave they tell us "God, I wish I had you guy's back" then would turn to our teacher and be like "You have your work cut out for you." You could tell she just wanted to scream. Saying those kids were "difficult" does not begin to describe. I was at least lucky enough to be lumped into a generation of "good" kids. I can only think of about 5-6 people who are actually complete and utter idiots. That's pretty good. I'm sure glad I didn't have to grow up with some of these other people I see. Then again, there were some classes that had different age groups, God help me. AP English was a nightmare of nightmares-the teacher was old and kind of hard of hearing, so these kids take advantage of that to say random words at different times in the class. yeah, you're funny kids. Maybe the first time it was a bit funny, but we're nearing the end of the frickin' semester and you have yet to shut UP!
About beating/punishment: Well I hate to say beating, got a few bad connotations there, but yeah, there's nothing wrong with the majority. Don't want to be shakin' no babies or anything like that, no drunk fits of rage and toss your kid over a banister. The time I was spanked that I remember most was when I was real little. I wandered away from the house over the the lake that's close by. When mom found out where I was, she comes running up with a spoon and broke it on my bum. Ow... But, you know, you need it for that sort of thing. I could easily have fallen in the lake, mom was so scared.
My younger sibling seems to be turning out all right. He's up among a bunch of idiots though. Oh, one of his "friends"(he doesn't actually like him too much) is like the premier example of what you guys are talking about. He SWORE to his grandmother and he was only like 6. She's a nice person too...makes you feel real bad, that. The issue is, the problem is only going to get worse. I'm just worried these fools will have kids, and how and the heck do you think THOSE kids are going to turn out? I just hope people wake up to this, since many don't seem to. Someone better figure out that 2 and 2 is 4, because this probably is.....how shall i put it....OBVIOUS. I think no matter where you go you have a line where things start going wrong. Anyway, I at least hope that some of these people wake up when they hit the real world, cause I don't know how any of them are going to hold a job. Wow...this ranting board is very....cleansing isn't it?
