This whole thread needs to move to rants and flames, though to the original poster, good post! Sorry you got derailed.

Bear in mind that Ben Stein was Nixon's speechwriter. And he will defend that criminal to the death even today. Fuck him.

[When Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope] Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And, and ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is, is we're here on Earth to fart around.

instilling hard work ethic, responsibility, sacrifice, duty, delayed gratification, etc. are social ideals that, in my opinion, have been slowly squeezed from out society. they are replaced by influences that bombard us constantly into telling our young people that "if it makes you happy it is good" and "only do what make you feel good right now." i don't mean to exaggerate or play chicken little saying the sky is falling on our society, but i do think there has been a subtle shift in the younger generations view towards the pursuit of happiness and what exactly that means for them. by the time my father was 26 he had been through high school, college, officer in marine corp, married, one son, divorced, taught high school, taught college, bought a home, remarried, had another son, and worked in a corporate environment. for his generation this was a "normal" experience to have by one's mid 20s...he was a man. when i look at most people my age (myself included) i feel like i am part of a generation of "man-children." we are adults, but few of us are married, fewer have children, fewer own homes, fewer stay in the same job for long, fewer save money for things we "need", etc. the expectations of my generation are very different from those my parents or grandparents. maybe it isn't "better" or "worse". i think there is real cause for examining the situation in our society though, because if it is a turn for the worse we will see real problems in the very basic levels of our nation before long. | |||

If you have to go into rehab over a videogame, just /wrist and don't reproduce before then.
If your will is that weak, it is only a matter of time until something destructive happens to you. The inanimate object, idea, substance isn't the problem. It's them. | ||
