I think this fits here

This country has become home to a lot of parents who would rather other people parent their kids than do it themselves.

honestly i agree here, it's not the games or the music or everyone' s fault the way a kid acts, it's the way the parents do, the kid as he grows up he tends to imitate the behavior of his parents, if his parents dont' give a crap about his child, the child wont' give a crap about caring for himself, and will eventually TRY to lead his own life, trying to figureout who he is, this collides extremely when he reaches teen-hood, new emotions, such as extended impulse for sex, girls, friends, and such, start to develope and his confusion from an earlier state, makes things worse.

So basically i'm saying that, if the kids does bad things and ruins his life, it's the parents fault for not being parents! sure video games and all that stuff influence kids, but isn't the parents responsability to say:" no, you can't play that game yet, when your older" and put some freaking rules, and you know, MAYBE logic tells you that your kid will obey you(if you paid any freaking attention when he was small) and even though he doesn't like it, follow your orders till he's older and understand the concept of WHy you didn't let him play.

Thats the way my parents raised me, and i'm pretty gratefull for them, i may be toasty and crispy, and a crazy arse mofo (curtesy of lenny) but i can still make mature decision (thank you mom and dad LOLZ)

Honestly I don't think my parents ever had a hard time using discipline of any kind on me. I want to know why parents are such pussies these days.

The same reason why there's stress cards in the military now. We're more "sensitive".

OMFG. Since when were their stress cards in the military? I understand people being unable to become soldiers but ffs now they can't fight without gaining stress?

We are so fucked...

What the fuck are you?

You try shooting at people, getting shot at, having a constant fear of possibly being killed or any of your buddies getting killed at any time and NOT get stressed.

You seriously need to just shut the fuck up. I'm starting to think you're trying to look dumb on purpose.

Idiot.

Are you serious? War has consistently been a major contributing factor to psychological trauma throughout history.

Do us all a favor and look up "PTSD" in any medical or psychological dictionary. It's been known as a psychological condition for over a century (though there are records of psychological distress that date back thousands of years).

To be perfectly honest, if you join the military expecting an easy life with stress, then you're an absolute arse.

If you're in the armed forces, and you wimp out because of stress, then you should be shot somewhere and told to grow up. If you joined, you should know the risks.
