BOB47 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 it's amazing how weak and p*ssified our society has become <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sad, but true. The biggest problem is that we've let this country be ruled by lawyers and special interest groups (who are represented by lawyers) instead of the majority like it's supposed to be.

motorider228 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I have another scenario mark is made fun of by the kids at school... 1973: mark beats some of the kids up for the insults and it's over 2006: mark comes to school with homemade bombs and fully automatic firearms and shoots up his school. I think kids are desensiticed (sp) by video games now and don't really think about killing and all that with the same consiquences they used too. I am almost 19 so I know how that is, there were two shooting at my school this year, a few stabbings and a few jumpings by baseball bats. That would never happen 30 years ago. I was stabbed in the arm a few months ago at a party as well so I know people use weapons. The kid was a little shit that couldn't fight with his fists so he used a knife. He ended up getting it alot worse though once he lost the knife and my adrenaline was pumping. My dad was a marine and he said the reason he thinks boot is easier now is because people don't have to really be brain washed to go and kill people now, video games and movies did it for the millitary. Same reason marines don't have the same look in their eye now that they used too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorider228 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 If you have children just raise them correctly. I am not a ****, I don't use weapons, i'm not fat, I got straight A's in high school and I know how to respect people and I don't start fights or act like a gangster ass tough guy, I also wear my pants how they should be worn. You can raise a good person today, it just may take more work than it did as when you guys were kids. Our society needs kids being raised in homes where they are actually raised as repectful hard working citizens and not all these terrible parents with gangster stupid kids. My dads sister has 3 boys unde rthe age of 7 and they are allowed to swear if they are singing, they also sag and talk about hitting women (their dad is a gangster mexican guy) and it makes me sick seeing how my cousins are. This is todays problem, we have people raising their kids to be peices of crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is todays problem, we have people raising their kids to be peices of crap. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have two children, son is 3 1/2 daughter is 2, and they will grow up respectful, good kids. Already they are required to say please, thank you, ect, and my son does it automatically most of the time. My girl is getting there, but she's 2. We lead by example in our house, because so much of what kids do/say is what they see at home. Butt is a bad word in our house. I think, too, with video games alot of kids have a skued sense of reality. You go on a killing spree in a game you can just hit reset to start over. Life has no reset button. I'm 39 (soon to be 40 ) so I remember alot of those scenarios. If yopu had a problem with someone, there were no weapons, just fists. You met out back, or at the bike rack, and settled it. A week later you were best friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
