Ok, I realize I may have come off as sounding like an asshole, however, I love video games, have a 360 and play alot, I love having fun. But I am self made, self employed and was taught by my parents to respect:
1. Hard work
2. The value of the dollar (lol, hell, not much value these days)
3. Respect for my environment and others environments
Let me touch on number 3 specifically. Now a days, alot of the teenagers I know dont respect their home, furnishings, nor do they respect their own rooms, I mean half are covered with dirty filthy clothes and smells that would better be left in the bottom of a trash can. I would have to admit that all the things I bucked my parents on they were right about, I was, myself a little hellraiser - BUT, I always had a part time job from 15 years up, mowed lawns before that. I was a rebel, hated school and pissed on the authority every chance I got, BUT the one thing I never did was disrespect myself nor my parents by being a fucking loser, hellraiser yes, loser no. There is a difference. So to all of you who flick your nose at me and leave smart ass little comments let me ask you this...Do you have any kids yourself or are you yourself a little loser. The decline of the western world will ultimatley fall at the laps of our children, so please please do a little research on this new generation before you are so quick to crucify me -- I would be willing to be we would get along famously if we ever met each other and probably value the same things in life. I guess I am just a little disappointed in the youth our generation has churned out. We have spoiled them, made them weak, made them feel a sense of entitlement that isnt and never was there.
I believe we should all strive to work hard, take care of our families, children, spouses and yes even our parents if needed. That my friends, is the difference between Generation X and the fog headed cow fodder we have produced as the youth of today, and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont accuse me of making generalities here. The statistics and facts of this youth epidemic is available for your review and research, just google it.
2. The value of the dollar - Do I really need to say any more? If I do then your just as fucking stupid as most of the sheeple in this country. And the comment made about not having a job and the bailouts, well, its our job to make sure this does not happen again, GOD help us if the youth of today would ever think of fighting for what is right or wrong, all they care about is what is convenient or feely good which is evident from alot of the smart ass replys made to this original post which is more than likely a few zit faced neo con unemployed ritilin infested cant get a girl so I jerk off to porn youth.
3. Respect for your environement - This would cover your home, or parents home, your room, or cell, for some of the youth. Just dont wallow in your own shit people, learn how to pick up your clothes, wash your own clothes, etc. If you are old enough to take a shit, then learn how to wipe your own ass!
1. Hard work - Almost forgot this one, I dont think I even need to comment on this one because all of us have become so fucking lazy in this country it turns my stomach. No one takes responsibility, has any balls to do the right thing and God forbid we piss of some mother fucking illegal immigrant by being politically incorrect.
The preceding message was brought to you by one pissed of adult father who remebers what it really took to get where he is today, and he is just sad beyond belief what alot of the youth looks like today, I am sincerely concerned, so please dont think I am just an asshole, far from it, maybe a little tough love can turn some of these kids around, I pray it will. Godspeed to all of you, If I have offended you it is not and was not my intention.
