I don think it is "our" generation... it is the generation before us that took no interest in teaching their children anything useful... just used public school systems as free child care. I got lucky. My parents took an interest in my education and i was taught book learnin and every day useful learnin like how to fix things without payin repair men.

Kids dont know how to count change in their heads because mommy and daddy just gave em all debit cards and just cover the charges.

And dont think you guys havent thought this... its the same thing you all say when the media starts blaming Guns or TV for the way their kids act... we respond by tellin the parents they need to get involved in their kids lives...

so next time you see a kid like this... instead of running him down... try treating him with respect and getting involved...
