This generation is more than that. You don't get anywhere generalizing an entire group.

The only thing that is scary is the rising poverty rates and income gap compared to previous times in the past. And the growing concern that the coming generations may not be able to adapt to the changing marketplace.

Also if you think spanking children somehow reduces the effects of what you talk about. How do you explain the problems in the south with the black population and they spank their kids way more often than others.

If you wanted to go down that route, you should probably mention things that have a direct casual link to kids growing up to exhibit bad behavior. Which is growing up in poor conditions, being educated by uneducated parents and etc.

LOL you just described the baby boomers in a nutshell.

I guess you are getting old enough to start complaining about "kids these days" though so...

Also funny that you (incorrectly) think that the young generations are entitled stems EXCLUSIVELY from the fact that corporal punishment is used less often. Was your brain on when you typed that?



The coming generations are the ones MOST READILY ABLE to the changing marketplace (largely becoming technology-centric).

That stockholm syndrome...

the kind of literature you get when you have young kids, im pretty sure there is a consensus about that. Me too i was spanked but what i remember is more like a joke, we were faking crying and start laughing right after parents were gone (and they knew it).

I see you have close to same age than me, spanking was normal when we were young, education has evolute a lot since then, my parents did not have access to such information we have today.

Problems in the South? You mean like the narrower achievement gap?



You might like to think that, but they paid into SS/Medicare all their lives. Wanting to cash in on it isn't "gimme everything I think I deserve." But Obamaphones are. So is section 8. And 1/6 of the country on food stamps. And federal student loans. And progressive taxation. All borne from a mentality that doesn't note that taking from someone in any other circumstance is called theft. Why did I get my ass whooped as a kid? Because I stole.

Congrats on an easier game this week. I meant to bench White for Williams. Guess I have to beat you with a man down now.

So lack of corporal punishment is the reason for more liberal social policy, gotcha. Why then do all the blacks in the south who have far higher rates of corporal punishment vote Democrat then, eh?

Oh damn, sorry about Roddy gl

Cuz virtually all blacks vote Donkey?

Yes.

And blacks also have a higher rate of using corporal punishment.

never understood how the anti-tax nonsense makes sense to libertarians, thank god you people have no power ~ your selfishness would destroy a country within a few decades

also social security looks like a pyramid scheme
