America's Biggest Threat

[Sloats]

The reason this country is crapping out is because we have pussified ourselves, we have become a country of victims, and protestors. The hippies from the 60s have told us that you can't hit/spank your child. You can't use fear, you must calmly explain everything to them or else they will suffer trauma. We have kids who know the drill in school. If a teacher tells a parent that the child is doing bad, causing trouble, etc... the parent will take the kids side. We are raising generations of children. Today's kids have no reason to grow up or do what is right. Hell, we have even removed the fear of God from them. And they sure as shit know that if they go out and try to make something of themselves, like a doctor or an engineer, they will be sued by a class action lawsuit because some retard pointed the business end of the gun at themselves.

lets scratch welfare in place of headers dad.

Based on all that, my kid is going to grow up to hate me. Now to focus on teaching him respect amongst all this. That's the trick.

Let's put him in charge of welfare and see how much they get. And when they whine for more he'll tell them to fuck off as he boards a cruise ship for a 10 day journey of the Caribbean (sp?).

Kids, generally speaking, are not being taught by their parents that there are consequences for their actions. The parents are too scared to be an authority figure to their kids and, instead, make every effort to be their friends. My parents weren't my friends...they were my parents and I obeyed them (most of the time, anyway). When I didn't, I was punished. Kids in my neighborhood get suspended for fighting or whatnot and don't even get grounded. Kids are suspended repeatedly without being expelled. What message does that send? What's going to happen when these kids get into the workforce, assuming they get a job somewhere other than McDonald's?

It's a vicious cycle. Lazy -> handouts -> more lazy. We need to make people start WORKING for what they get.

Like Silera's mention of Little House on the Prairie. In those days people worked to get ahead...they farmed if they wanted to eat, sewed if they wanted clothes, saved every nickel and dime for a bag of flour to make a special birthday cake. Nothing was handed to them.

We have it too easy now.

If something cataclysmic was to happen to the United States, how many survivors would actually have the gumption to survive and move on?
