Divorce Rate to Escalate
I awoke this morning to my favorite Bay Area radio show, Armstrong & Getty, and was astounded at what they were discussing: kids no longer shower after gym classes in school. What?!?!?
It turns out that today's candy-ass kids are too sensitive about their bodies and the comments of their fellow classmates to undress and shower after gym classes in school. When I went to school, we not only showered in front of each other, we swam in the nude. Big f*cking deal. We had to learn that we all mature at different rates and to different extents. We had to accept each other. We had to deal with teasing, pranks, and jokes. We had to steel ourselves and learn how to joust verbally. It was a growth experience. Today, I never even think about it. Why? Because we dealt with life honestly and moved on. In fact, had it not been for this radio show today, I never would have thought about it again.
Today's kids, however, are dysfunctional wimps, and they will become dysfunctional adults. Our movies, TV, and schools are teaching kids such trash that they cannot cope with anything about life. Today's kids are overly sexualized, drugged, and pampered. Parents rarely say no to them. They have poor communication skills and think everything has to be fair. There is no environment or culture of personal responsibility.
Here's an article from The Christian Science Monitor [CLICK] about kids not taking showers in school. No issue could be complete without the ACLU, right? In this article, we read:
In 1994, the American Civil Liberties Union went to court to protect an overweight teenage girl from having to strip in front of female classmates at a high school in Pennsylvania. The school district eventually backed down and dumped its mandatory shower policy.
Instead of the school helping that girl lose weight and get over HER problem, the school district enacted a new, ludicrous policy that made everybody else suffer. One person who couldn't cope with life dictated the life of everyone else.
So I ask you: How on Earth can these kids get married and be happy and be good parents? How can they become successful business executives? They can't. I predict the divorce rate will escalate. The next generation of kids will be even wimpier, softer, and more-pathetic than their parents. I can't even imagine these kids going out on dates, let alone getting married. When will this liberal nonsense end? What will YOU do to end it?
