a guy i sort of knew on another board-sadly deceased now-he came to America seeking better treatment for kidney issues than he could get in Australia and then became a citizen, stated as follows
a nation that tells all its children that they are winners, no matter what, quickly becomes a country full of losers

Excellent, and I would believe that. At the risk of having half the women, and some of the men here, come down on my head, I think that our high divorce rate, and so many children being raised by only their mother, has something to do with that. Mothers historically coddle and pamper the children, while fathers tell it like it is, and help the boys learn how to take life's knocks, then get back up again.
I agree with Bolling's point yesterday about Americans becoming wussies and political correctness being a major source.
There's the sense of entitlement since we don't let kid's experience failure nowadays. That includes things from not letting kids fail at school when their results are insufficient to handing out participation trophies. Some schools are even banning sporting activities to prevent anyone from feeling like a loser.
We surrender to just about any complaint, rather that seeing if any of the responsibility falls on the complainant. For example, schools are removing a cross or picture of Jesus if one or two people complain, even if a hundred want it there. Someone needs to speak up and tell them to ignore it if they don't like it.
You might say "the older generation always says the younger is worse." However, the upward trends for the numbers in divorce, kids born out of wedlock, government handouts, obesity, average age people live with parents until, etc. speak for themselves.
What will it take to get society to acknowledge these mistakes and fix them? Feel free to add more.

The right constantly whines about PC yet complains bitterly about speech that is offensive to Christians. Hypocrits.
I think most children who grew in a single parent household would disagree with that. I believe the opposite - kids who grow up in a mother-only household tend to have to fend for themselves sooner than most.

Eric Bolling: Mike Rice Firing Symbol Of 'The Wussification Of American Men' (VIDEO)

I'd say that chances are good he wasnt fired because the school feared his behavior but because the school feared what would happen if they didn't fire him.
Unfortunately, we've grown to become a culture of crybabies and losers who think they're entitled to become multimillionaires should they be fortunate enough to be yelled at or spill a hot cup of coffee in their own lap.
The left constantly whines about how Christians can be so judgmental... must not like the competition.
If you're looking for cool headed people, you might want to try a forum dedicated to something like knitting or woodworking.Or one could be cool headed and see that this is nothing to get whiny about happening to a coach. But that would be the "old guy" thing to do.
Oh come now, let's not put ALL liberals in that basket.No. What really bothers me is they are merely some special interest group thinking they are entitled to special treatment and taxfree status......................
