    I think the internet, texting, and decrease in actual good old fashioned face to face communication has begot a generation of keyboard warriors and the old addage "out of sight, out of mind" when it comes to feelings has to have an effect on the way these young heathens act.

    Imagine, if you will, Person A calling Person B a "Cocksucking knuckle dragging son of a bitch" in two different situations: 1. Where Person A sits comfortably behind a computer screen in the safety of his own home 2. When Person A is face to face with Person B. In situation 1 Person A can only infer how Person B feels through written word, in situation 2 Person A can see a physical and emotional response first hand, one if which he can deduce the cosequences of he will more than likely experience a pause (if he has a conscience) before unleashing any verbal attack on Person B.

    I think the internet and texting has created cyber bullies (yes as lame as that sounds for all parties invovled) AND in spite of technological advances good old fashioned bullying is more "hardcore" (to use the parlence of our time) than ever before.


    These children lack discipline and they lack respect, and there's more than one way to build those traits....and the best way is not with a belt or a cane (believe it or not).

    Ironic in one sense yes, but very true in another. Everyone knows how damned dramatic high school is...now couple that with facebook and twitter (not to mention smart phones and youtube) and well everything gets turned up a few notches. Now when the histrionic teenager says "Everybody hates me!" or "I looked stupid in front of EVERYONE!"...you can literally check and see, when in the olden days the parents could calm the child down and reason with them....now everything is such a big damned deal "omg", "smh", "fml", and so on and so forth.

    Laugh if you must but you know it to be true

    I don't understand...High school was dramatic? Where did you grow up? Maybe I totally missed out on the experience of entitlement and angst over not having everything...
    What I am talking about is people that have nothing in the midst of plenty, are cut off from the hope of achieving any of it, and rebel violently. To say that all these people are lazy or cowardly is just flat out wrong- the lifestyle doesn't allow for laziness or cowardice. And, and here I'll use the word ignorant, saying that the 'criminal types' aren't disciplined by their parents is ignorant.
    What do you think is the first step in learning not to give a fuck?
