The gubment, in all their glory, has perpetuated the degradation. While I agree, there are people in need, they've made it so there are generations of lazy unproductive people with the answer is to throw more money at them. Our education system has failed miserably...we are producing more idiots than ever before. They leave school with zero life skills, can hardly read or write or balance a checkbook...
Technology is a double edged sword...with each generation, the drugs have become more powerful, cheaper and a cornucopia of variety enhancing the criminal element and cash flow. The internet has become the bane of society. While it's great for resourcing, the social part is a detriment. People can say whatever they want without ramifications...now step out into the real world, they say the same ****, someone's feelings get bent, and their first move is to kill..whatever happened to a good old knockdown, drag out schoolyard brawl to "settle our differences"? Now the answer is to destroy them publicly or kill them. These are the snowflakes.
The mental state of kids these days are definitely in peril. The latest report shows how bad it really is... Half of them are depressed with a quarter thinking about suicide... what. the. ****.
Kids today don't know how to handle adversity. Their solution to life kicking them in the balls is to curl up in the fetal position and give up.
It's how they were raised.
