Everyone gets a trophy....Rant

Some of them sure. But not most of them. Move outside a city, kids still work hard. Hell, even in town, they still work hard. I live a couple hundred yards from the Katy ISD barns, and I see more high schoolers out there every day of the week working various animals than I would ever expect. I go to the feed and tack down the road, and see high schoolers working there, hauling bags of feed into customers vehicles and saying yes sir, no sir.

Keep in mind, before "snowflakes", it was millennials. Well all those millennials are in the military now, still kicking ***, just like the generation before them, and the generation after them will. I wouldn't sweat an article that is meant to get you stirred up.

Hey now, this is common sense and thinking for yourself, this cannot be allowed on the internet. I am not official internet police, but consider yourself warned


Lots of people worried about lots of crap, that matters not

I agree here we aren’t perfect but we will be ok. Op step back from the news and look around life isn’t as bad as it appears.

When I was in high school some guys got in a argument over a parking spot with a girl who was a dwarf ( pc little person) and locked her in the trunk of her Volkswagen till someone found her at lunch, the teachers and school thought it was hilarious, if something like that happened nowadays the school would be sued and it would probably make national news headlines ! Different times, different atmosphere

At the risk of sounding like a snowflake locking someone in the trunk of a car from when they get to school until lunch is a pretty big deal no matter how you cut it or what era it was in.

I think getting upset about something that happened in Ohio is a waist on energy. I'd rather spend that energy being involved in the organizations my kids are involved in and making sure they get the right messages and lessons.

Yep, My opinion is that a lot of folks who kill themselves are ones who never learned how to deal with loss.

That's a profound statement that I hope all on this thread read.

It's very true and I knew a guy all through school whose parents babied him and he never "lost" at anything, even though he did. They would buy him trophies for Little League and pretty much did all of his homework, covered his bad checks when he wrote them with no money in the bank, etc.

Later on after flunking out of junior college, unable to get a job that he wanted and his girlfriend left him, he stuck a 20 gauge shotgun in his mouth and blew his brains out in his folks dining room.

Life is hard and this mamby pamby way of teaching the children is not helping them, not one bit.

Well it didn’t even cause any concern ( except I think they got the paddle )and like I said today it would be international news headlines
