Listening ad nauseum to everyone blame ‘homes without fathers’ for everything the punks today are being destructive about, I keep thinking back to all the FATHERS who never came home alive from WW II.

Thousands of kids never saw their fathers at all—and many only knew them for brief years.

YET-—the destructiveness of today certainly was NOT common then.

IMO, The rage of today’s ‘youth’ is a result of handing out ‘participation trophies’ just for showing up and lavishing far too much praise on these kids while they are growing up.

They get older & bigger, and when the general public isn’t handing them kudos just for breathing, they lash out. They have little or no self control & most have very little self-incentive to succeed. They have hd everything handed to them & now, they want that to continue.

Parents have to pay for health insurance until I am 26? A JOKE. MY parents didn’t even have health insurance. I was out of the house before I was 19, and bought my own house before I was 27. ON $6 an hour in wages. We patched each other up over minor things, and rarely were taken to a doctor. All 4 of us survived just fine.

My point was that everyone has something to deal with in life, some more than others, so picking out a few politically correct groups, like Gays, and saying they deserve reparations is absolutely absurd.
