When will spoiled brats grow up??
« on: March 05, 2012, 04:57:28 AM »
When Spoiled-rotten Children Grow Up    Just wait until there are food shortages and the welfare checks do not come.

Riot police had to be called to an Orlando mall on February 23. Why? Because an unruly crowd of would-be shoppers couldn’t wait to get their hands on the new Foamposite One Galaxy by Nike.


Frankly, we shouldn’t be surprised. This is just one more consequence of the entitlement philosophy our children have been taught. It’s been
going for several generations.

So the People born in the 20's were called the greatest Generation for the sacrafices they made to rid the wold of Facism.
 
The people born in the 50's were the ME generation
 
People born in the mid to late 70' were Generation X
 
Are you saying the generation born in the 90's are the Gimmie Generation? 
Don't want to work for it, don't want to buy it on credit they just want to be handed everything?  Semms to explain the Occupy movement and the student march that is going on in Sacramento today.

I think the past couple of generations should be known as the “gimme generation,” Very few of them want to work for a living; they expect everything to be given to them.

I witnessed a situation a couple of weeks ago where a lady died, her husband had worked hard for many years, they skimped and saved, they accumulated a large sum of money.  When the mother died the kids, all over 40 wanted “their share” of the money now! They even went to an attorney for help.

Evidently the mother had been bailing the kids out for years, paying off loans, buying cars and just giving money whenever they asked. Texas being a community property state everything went to the father.  Shortly before their mother’s death the father had learned of all the give always, he refused to let them have anything. 

The kids are afraid he will re-marry and give everything to the new wife, I say, “so what, he earned it, he should be able to spend it the way he wants.”  I’m sure there will be problems in the family until he dies, and even afterwards as each kid fights for the largest hunk of the pie.

Bottom line, that’s the way they were taught.

This is just something I would like to share. It kind of shows why and how some kids feel they are owed. This is what I was told one day by an inmate, during my years in correction. While doing a disciplinary hearing on this inmate, for refusing to do a work detail, he stated to me he wasn't going to work because he didn't have to. I then asked him why he thought he didn't have to. His answer was"I don't have to work cause my mother didn't raise me to work."  So we can't blame just the kids. Some of the parents have to step up and teach these so called people right from wrong.

When i read the topic header I thought you were talking about me and when was i going to grow up.
I was prepared to say "never", I am just starting my third childhood and am quiet happy with it.
I am right but it was the wrong topic.

Agreed since the 1960's and the war on poverty more and more has been handed to people and the more you had people the more they will demand.
The more they demand the more the ellected will give and you now have a sense of entitlement that they are owed it, simply by being.
The kid that works his butt off to get A's and wins a scholarship, now the b and c strudents think they are entitled to be given a scholership.  I am surprised that some have not sued that they should be allowed int the military academies because they want to go and there are too many hoops to jump through and it takes too long.

Someone said they saw a sign in a park in a large city.  It said, "Do not feed the animals, they will forget how to feed themselves".  Wonder if it works for humans too?

Well I'll be the young guy that pisses you old dudes off.  I work a fulltime job for benefits as well as working on peoples computers on the side.  I'm fixing to start a part time automotive detailing business. Most of my friends have more than one job and are exploring extra degrees in addition to their current education.   I'm also considering going back for a second degree in some form of computer technology.    Just waiting on my employer to tell me what they will allow me to go for.  I already have a degree in HVAC/R repair and installation.
 
I'm doing all this in addition to coaching my son's little league team.  Not to mention finding time to spend with my 2 year old daughter and be a husband to my wife. Not to mention finding any spare time to keep abreast of the political issues that I need to be making myself aware of.  As well as taking any spare time to write my representatives concerning issues that I feel need my attention.  AND working to get completely out of debt.
 
And you claim that you hate the younger generation because were lazy?  Maybe you should think twice before making a very insulting blanket statement about how a group of young minorities are making you hate an entire generation because were all lazy and have our hands out wanting you to give us more.  Give me a freakin break.  Why don't you guys go out and actually try and talk to some of the younger generation around you instead of making ignorant statements about an entire majority of people who dislike the OWS crowd more than you do.
 
I don't think i've ever read a more insulting thread than this one.
 
 
 
 
I'm voting 3rd party in this election by writing in Jesus Christ for president.  Sadly even if this were an option most of you would still vote Republican because "It's a two party system."

I wouldn't take it personally, Singleshot.  I don't think you were singled out and I don't think an entire generation is being put down because of a few.  I think you too must admit that there are some young folks and older ones around who are not very considerate of others.  To be truthful, some of the most inconsiderate people I have ever run acrossed have been very old folks; for whatever reason, some of them feel like their advanced age should allow them to be rude and nasty.  My next door neighbor is in his nineties and he can be a real pain in the butt for no reason at all.  I don't even like to talk to him anymore, because he always starts an argument. 
 
On the other hand, I am often surprised these days by younger folks who refer to me as "sir"; I never got that when I was in charge of a whole crew of workers.  I didn't expect it either and still don't but somebody is raising their kids right.

I think currently there may be a bit higher percentage of "spoiled brats" than say 50 years ago but the vast majority of young people are not. There have always been shirkers and spoiled brats. It may also be easy to mistake "spoiled" for frustrated. In most places it is still a tough job market for young people, especially jobs that provide a living wage and interesting work. At the high schools I work at you can find plenty of kids that work 25-30 hours or more a week, keep a B or better grade average and usually participate in at least one sport. You can't be much of a spoiled brat and keep up that kind of schedule and effort. The other thing that inadvertently may be producing more "brats" is the child labor laws. Until 18 a kid cannot really learn many skills  from jobs because they cannot operate equipment, etc. The kids that really do well are the farm kids. Most have far more skills and are more responsible compared to their city counterparts. That too may be in jeopardy with some of the new proposed child labor laws concerning working on the farm. The bad news is there are way fewer farms than there use to be.

There are three types of spoiled brats.  Rich kids whose parents gave them everything all the way through college.  The second are the poor welfare plantation people, who have had checks and food stamps handed to them all their lives, and do not work.  The third are the druggies and prostitutes, who learn to deal drugs and prostitute themselves for a quick dollar, however, they are usually on welfare too.
 
Since welfare, food stamps, unemployment benefits, and section 8 housing have been expanded, the poor are growing.
 
Then, since the rich kids with college degrees they can't use can't find jobs, they go back home to live with parents and are in the OWS group.  Since the economy is bad, this portion is growing also.
 
A lot of them really don't know or want to work, find a job, even if temporary, until one comes open in their field.  I know a school teacher that got contracts with businesses to cut their grass, use a weed eater, and basically clean up their property.  He does banks, gas stations, doctor's offices, etc.  He makes more doing this than teaching.  Harder work, but it is an income. 
 
Unemployed, can, if they are smart enough, grow a backyard garden, do odd or part time jobs, until something comes up. 
 
No excuse for lazyness and being a brat.

There are good and bad in every generation. Some families are now 3rd or 4th generation welfare recipients. It's the only life they've ever known and are content letting somebody else pay the bills, they feel it is owed to them. Like guzzi said even farm work has suffered from the child labor laws, they sometimes go too far. My Uncle sat me in the seat of his old John Deere and had me guide the tractor to the hay bales so they could pick them up. I couldn't even reach the pedals, my feet just hanged there, I loved it.

I am probably in your age bracket. I haven't taken offense to this thread and you shouldn't either...not unless you and your close friends are the types that would riot over something stupid like sneakers which I somehow doubt.
 
It would be interesting to have a cross section of the ages of the people that participated in that riot. I'll bet we would be surprised to find some of them were quite a bit older than we would expect. Stupidity is ageless and isn't confined to one generation exclusively.

MRCOOPER. The folks you described are the product of people raised without God in their lives, AKA liberals. POWDERMAN.  :( :(




My Mom and Dad raised eight of us without the traditional church!
Mom was raised as a Methodist, but as I said, we were not led to attend church, but some of us did. I went to a little baptist church with my Aunt and her family often. I'm sure it had an effect on me, but my morals and respect for others came from my Mom, Dad, and others like my Aunt. They led by example! My Dad died in 63 and he voted for kennedy. I remember my Dad as being more Conservative than Liberal. My Mom and Aunt were very Liberal. Especially my Aunt! A better person, I have never met! This Godless (AKA) Liberal mantra is simply not true and comes from ignorance.






My Aunt passed on last year and she personified what I think Christians should look, act and believe. Christianity knows no Political party.

I don't know what to say that would make a difference in the way you feel about some of the brethren! Perhaps ........You should get out more ;)  I'm getting away from topic! I guess all generations will contain spoiled brats and we'll just have to live with them.

Is there really much more brats today or is it that with 24 hours news and the internet we just hear many more of the negative stories? Many stories go immediately world wide now that not to many years back would not have gone any further than the local newspaper.
