Lack of Manners Rant here on the Forum

IMO, it's the older generation(s) who need examination of their respect.

For the past few decades children have been increasingly more likely to be born out of wedlock, experience a broken family or become a latchkey kid. If little Johnny acts up in class he needs narcotics shoved down his throat to be a good little boy... arrested if an Aspirin is found in his backpack, or sent to a reeducation camp if caught drawing a gun. Their jobs are being sold to China and tens of $trillions of debt are being heaped on their back. -- Respect?

Amazingly enough, some of these same youngsters forget to say thank you.

Well, here's another thought: We as "conservatives" are generally not as politically active as the "socialist liberals". It seems most of our university's are breeding grounds for "progressive" mindsets. Was this the case in the years prior to 1947 when I was born? I remember being in grammar school in the "assembly hall" after a duck and cover exercise for some kind of talk about the reasoning behind the exercise. I'm thinking I was 9. There were so many kids there that some of us had to stand in the back behind the seated kids. EVERY assembly started with the ever present American flag with a spotlight on it and every one singing the Star Spangled Banner. One kid standing close to me was an idiot talking to another idiot during the singing. The gym teacher heard him and walked over and told the kid " A lot of my friends have died defending that flag" After that the kid got a slap in the face. When I mentioned it at dinner that night my mother said so what the kid deserved it. My father said pass the salt. (Dad was a WWII vet and called up for Korea, but fortunately didn't have to go.)

We seem to have let the whole thing just get out of control starting with JFK. We need SOME CONSERVATIVE million man marches PDQ. Look at the lack of support for our troops. Our industries should be putting people back to work with war production. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. THEY'RE EVEN "CONSIDERING A MOSQUE IN NY?? We've turned into a nation of sheep, led by a shepherd, elected by the vast majority of the sheep.

I think johnny cash could have set this to a song

and I don't need no gene simmons shows and I don't need no any other famous person show - they really ain't as interesting as they think they are and I don't care about OJ or Paris Hilton or Michael Jackson or Billy Mays and I really don't care about the ins and out of a cats "a**" and I don't care about storm chasers and I don't care about the new thing thats really yesterdays thing recycled. And I don't care about octomom and I don't care about what the hell the pontiff is going to do next. It don't take no crystal ball or nostradomus to see whats coming down the pike. And I don't need no john edwards talking to dead people about stupid stuff like the jeweled necklace is behind the third drawer down, and I didn't kill myself because you didn't give me the grape koolaid and I don't care about all the talking heads and wagging tongues and all the things the clowns in charge are going to bring and I don't care about the forcast and I don't care about the next cool movie and I don't care about ---well as the man said 2000 some years ago - let the dead bury their own dead.

the show breaking bad is okay.

just to end the rant on a high note.
