Its been a long running joke of mine,but it does hold water.

Problem with kids now days is they did not grow up watching westerns. You know those show with all the violence and guns. Then the guns where used to stop and if need kill those who where doing the bad deeds. If you got caught and not shot then you might be swinging from a tree for you crimes. In other words there was a repercussion for being a thief,murder or harming someones family.

As I said its a long running some what joking comment. Given some thought it is just too dang true nowdays.

Imagine antifa in Dodge city. Matt Dillon would clean their clocks. John Wayne would have stopped them before they became a problem.

Now days kids are raised playing games where you get extra point for doing bad. If they do bad in real life they might(might) get slapped on the hand and more likely they will be rewarded for it.

Piercing insight. Guess that philosophy degree is finally paying off.

Gotta blame a lot on the government. Our education system sucks. Two parents and both have to work in order to pay the bills. Discipline is curtailed by the law. Welfare system promotes more kids with only one parent. Never mind, this could go on forever. Most of us get it.

I know of a lot of one parent working households that are doing just fine. The key to their success is not living above their means.

Have to agree on one parent family. While my father was present and did do some punishment. Especially when I shot a picture he spent year doing of topless female.Bullseye always been focused on the boobs. LOL In my defense I was handed a bb gun that that had been ****ed by another w/o knowledge. Yea did work then either.LMAO now.

Large part raised by a single mother till I was 14. I think I turned out pretty good.Little bit smart azz.lot hell raiser(just fun stuff) and hard driven guy who has worked most his life since 13 at something to make money to have what I want.

As stated. We never had a lot,mom never over head in debt.I swear the woman can still take 100 bucks and get 300 worth out of it. Me I get 25 worth from it.

Well said Roger! Parenting goes a long way. A lost Art!!
Start holding parents responsible for the under age actions!

The problem with kids for the last 30+ years is bad parenting and/or no parenting!

The only influence they need is parents that do the job parents are expected to do, raise YOUR kids to know right from wrong and with respect for GOD, country and community, starting with the men and women that protect us whether it be in our neighborhoods or abroad.

Now give me your theory as to why a large number of people over 40 act like A holes.
