Meet the 72 Types Of Americans That Are Considered “Potential Terrorists” by the Obam

Lol I guess I'm on a list. I think everyone on this site though is on a list somewhere.
 

God help me if one day I get old and turn lazy and selfish. All I can think about is the future generations and how much of a struggle it is going to be for them. They already have no idea what hard work or respect is! By the way,the energy we are so called WASTING is because we were taught the difference between wrong and right/fair and unfair. Maybe if these kids today were taught to stand up and hold their ground they wouldn't be a bunch of whining sissies.:BangHead:

you forgot entitled/spoiled. I started working at 13, delivering newspapers, raking leaves, mowing lawns, mucking stalls, shoveling snow in the winter, collecting bottles for deposit returns. Anything I could to make a buck or two to buy my own "toys" so to speak. I paid for my Schwinn Scrambler when I was a kid. I wonder how many kids today can say they actually worked for and payed for the video game system and computer they play on everyday. I wonder how many of them actually even go outside to "play". The result is starting to show itself in the masses of young voting age sheep that live life through rose colored glasses blindly believing everything they see on tv including the many falsehoods of the current administration.
 

That's what I am talking about,I also started working at a very young age and I am grateful for that experience. There is a great sense of pride in knowing that everything you have,you have earned. Granted my things may all be others second hand junk but I worked hard for this junk lol. People are so worried about keeping up with the Jones's these days that we forget to teach our kids about the simple things(Hard work,Respect,Honesty and Unity). the very same principals that laid the groundwork for this great nation. SEMPER FI!!!
 

The counts of the indictment are luxury, bad manners, contempt for authority, disrespect to elders, and a love for chatter in place of exercise. …

Children began to be the tyrants, not the slaves, of their households. They no longer rose from their seats when an elder entered the room; they contradicted their parents, chattered before company, gobbled up the dainties at table, and committed various offences against Hellenic tastes, such as crossing their legs. They tyrannised over the paidagogoi and schoolmasters.

It’s easy to find people complaining about the youth of their day and how much better things were twenty or thirty years ago. Goes back to the dawn of recorded history. Heck, if we understood them there are probably cave paintings making the same point.

Good luck to all,

The Old Buckaroo,

I was just thinking that very thing. I remember my grandad saying this about my dad (age 74) and certainly have heard my dad say it about me. Now I'm feeling the same way about my kids. Must be a natural pattern I guess. Don't know?

I remember my dad saying that about me. It was back about then, too.
 

LMAO-I'm only 34 but it sickens me to see the way these kids behave in public and the things these teenagers are doing. God help me if I was to get smart with an elder,steal,valdalize or even think about touching my fathers rifle for a purpose other than hunting. I am one of the lucky few of my generation to have been raise :censored: mentality and I intend on raising my children the same way,Hard but fair because if the children of tomorrow turn out to be scumbags it is not their fault. It will be our fault for not giving them the tools to succeed independently.

Doing that will enable your children to deal with the scumbags that everyone else is "raising". Actually, most are just raising pets that they refse to discipline ... that's why they behave like unreasoning animals.

Thanks for actually behaving like an adult instead of just claiming to be one.
