it's sad but true. i absolutely hate (more than i can say with words) what this country is coming to. it's my firm belief that we're raising a nation of pussies.

"oh, i'm not letting my kid play on the playground because he might get hurt."

"we don't let kids play kickball in school anymore because the kid that gets picked last will feel bad."

give me a mother fucking break! i can't stand this type of mentality.

that song by bucky covington, a different world... that pretty much sums it up in my mind.

fuck these pansy ass parents raising their pussy ass kids. SHITFUCKGODDAMMITMOTHERFUCKER1!!!!11!!!!!!

The paddling by the father for breaking a window and the disrupting the class thing are so true. I am only 20 but when I was a kid and I did something wrong...u best damn believe i got an ass whoopin...but i learned never to do that shit ever again. Never thought of child abuse or anything.
And now-a-days, if your kid acts funny...make up a disorder and perscribe medicine. ADD is a joke i think. Good discipline is what i see is lacked in todays society.

Good find tho!
Rep given.

EDIT* As for the kids in school and parents raising pussies...i remember my parents telling me stories about when they were kids. If a kid got picked last or teased or whatever, that kid would just say screw it or be a better kickball player . But now with pussy ass kids these days, they have to shoot up the schools

My wife and Daughter made CUPCAKES to SHARE with everybody in her class. Instead of 19 kids celebrating her BIRTHDAY with a CUPCAKE on a beautiful day, ALL 20 of them WON'T even have a CHANCE because ONE rugrat >> MIGHT << have a reaction to SOMETHING inside them...

Find the words to expain to her why she coudn't proudly carry the tupperware into class that day - and remember em when she's bringing up her kids 25 years from now...we reap what we sew...

Bullshit abounds!!! I get so mad when i think about this!! Fuck! Where is all this going? Paranoia will destroya!! Do y'all actually want it run this way?

Revelation #1 - Do what's right and EVERY day can be boiled down to one that gets you closer to where you wanna be, or farther away...and this ain't just about cupcakes!

Blame, Hate, and the Fear of Costly Consequences is what will keep America Fuckd...
