“It makes life worse for all of us when people become so obsessed with their own satisfaction that they convince themselves they have a guaranteed right to it. Common courtesy and self-control used to be esteemed as indispensable to a healthy society. But the more we rely on law and regulation to maintain social order, the less we seem to emphasize good character and values.”
Absolutely true. I see examples (more than one) of this every single day I go to the gym to workout. Add to the above the complete lack of will to insist that immigrants assimilate (let alone the issue of massive illegal alien importation) and we get the above attitudes.
My Father always said about these types of people “hooray for me, the hell with everyone else”. This is the way society is now - complete lack of common courtesy, no remorse whatsoever, extremely low morals and on and on...
The worst of it is that whether they realize it or care or not, they are just begging to have every little thing in life be legislated. Like a lot of children-or serfs.
