Think the youth of today are a bunch of good for nothing, arrogant little bastards that need a swift kick in the ass?
Well...who brought up the kids (insert 5 generations) that raised the little punks of today?
Take a look at the bigger picture.
Somewhere along the line kids decided that they would or wouldn't be like their parents.
Some of them created the laws that prevent people from disciplning their children in a way that is fit for their behavior. Maybe they had a shitty experience or know someone that did. But not EVERY parent is ABUSIVE when they discipline their kids.
Then someone wanted to require all children to have an education. Maybe they didn't get one or they thought that people weren't civilized enough.
Not a bad thing and really not negotiable since you usually have to own a highschool diploma or G.E.D to vouch for your worth.
Then you have to go to college to get certification that you are qualified for whatever job you're interested in...
Or you can go into the military, where they discipline you, like parents should be able to....
A veteran of vietnam once told me, "People don't realize that when you're fighting a war, making it out alive is your main goal. Not all of the people who were there wanted to serve their country, but they wanted to go home alive. Kill or be killed. That was the choice that we had."
I do believe in Peace, but that can only be obtained by Compromise, which in a world such as this one, isn't always the most available option.
People are putting so many laws and restrictions in to action, that doing things the old-fashioned or old school way has become more of a problem. ...ONLY BECAUSE THEY MADE IT A PROBLEM. ~ding~
Take a look at the last century. Look up what laws and acts were created in order to protect the people. See how it gets more strict? Do you see how more people start doing wrong (by law)...maybe it was all just to strengthen the justice system.
"For the people by the people"....yea right. WHAT PEOPLE ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE?
It's kind of like taking alcohol away from an alcoholic and telling them they can't do it because it isn't good for them.
THEY"RE GOING TO DIE ANYWAY WHY NOT LET IT BE FROM THE POISON OF THEIR CHOICE?
Just like ciggarettes, They are bad for people but they smoke them anyway. Just because people frown on it doesn't mean that people aren't going to do it.
Of course there are laws that are great. Like don't drink and drive, not that they are abided by all the time, Let me see...yea thats the only one I got.
But in all honesty if people were allowed to beat the shit out of each other or if everyone carried a weapon (gun)...maybe knowing that the next person you meet could kill you just as easily as you could kill them would make you consider a kinder disposition.
also if someone tries to kidnap you or rob you...then you could shoot them in the ass.
but most likely you wouldn't have to worry about a robber or kidnapper...no one wants to get shot.
*******And personally, I feel that a person is going to die when they are fated to and it doesn't matter what precautions they or someone else takes. Its been that way since the begining of humankind. *******
