Don't you just hate (OK, dislike) people who were spoiled by their parents and therefore think...

[forkintheroad7]

A lot of children are spoiled by their parents these days. I think it is because, even conservative parents are liberal with their little darlings... in the sense of giving in to just about anything they ask for (demand).

So the rest of society has to deal with this BS, deal with people who are narcissists, even malignant narcissists, who are not only annoying as hell but dangerous.

Don't spoil your children. "Spare the rod, spoil the child," the Word of God says... and some of us know WHY that was put there in the Bible...

It's one of the biggest problems we have, if not THE biggest in our world today.

I don't think parents of any type tell their children (directly) to, say, attack ICE agents trying to do their jobs. But maybe they told Little Johnny or Little Susy to demand whatever they want (they tell them this without actually telling them...) and if they don't get it right away, a temper tantrum will do the trick...

Yeah I don't think parenting is necessarily to blame. Sure maybe to some extent, but IMO it's more of a social media thing where these people are being encouraged and given attention for extreme actions.

The ICE protesting is 100% paid activism. That's not to say ALL protesters are being paid. The loudest voices 100% are. The big social media influencers 100% getting paid to encourage people to protest against ICE.

All this is true. However, what kind of really wise parent gives the child (frequent) access to "social media"???

Unless you isolate a kid it's pretty hard to keep them away from access to social media.
IMO the best thing parents can do is keep kids busy with sports, activities, chores/jobs, and family time including extended family.
Help develop kids interests in things not involving or dependent of tech.

One thing that I hate is when people put their sense of entitlement on full display.

That's a great idea. I don't have children in my life so I don't have to worry, but I am very concerned for young people today. They have such a peculiar world to have to live in compared with the world, say, 50 or even just 20 years ago.

Yeh, not only entitled but have to have the whole world know about it, which is basically speaking of the far leftists who always have to be in the spotlight and in power

Please don't blame parents for the hatred and liberalism spewed for generations by the federal education system.

I can surely speak to this because I am that new generation that oldsters hate. lol I come from a family with wherewithal, but I got nothing for high school graduation. The idea of getting something for what I should be doing nauseates me. I can see having a party or a celebration, but cars are ridiculous. I still don't know of anyone in my larger high school who got a car.

Only suckers do what the plutocratic parasites tell them they should be doing, without reward for doing it.

Yea, millennials are entitled, but have you ever been stuck behind an old lady at the checkout counter who insists her coupon is not expired?

P.S. For the record, I am normally not one of them people who does whatever it takes to get what they are hoping, but on June 6th of this year, I'll admit that I used a true past experience of mine as my "leverage", I guess.
