I tend to blame lowered expectations... It just seems like we expect so little from our children these days... When I read about what our fathers and Grand fathers did, I weep for the future!

I tend to blame that people, even though I have an incredible lack of faith in the majority of them, have realized how horrific war can be and are trying, not as much as I would like though, to avoid it.

That is true, but what when it is unavoidable? Should we still cower and remain neutral?

Things are rarely unavoidable. But think of it this way: If you have no sympathy for the "enemy" atleast have some for the soldiers. Very few people actually want to kill people, no matter how much they disagree with their idealology. When you watch a person's head explode through the scope of your rifle and know that you caused it, not even the most battle-hardened people escape with their mentality unscathed.

I tend to agree, I know fullauto ran some missions and probably killed a few, it HAD to of changed your mentality on life.

Not really... My job was on AWACS... highly impersonal... I just don't see the point in fighting inevitability.... Is that wrong?

Maybe you handled it well, but the thousands of people returning lacking limbs, or with Post-traumatic stress sydrome didn't share in your luck. Not to mention the thousands of soldiers that will inevitably never return....

I agree. We want the easy life, we end up lazy. The kids today are suffering obesity like it's an epidemic.

Check out this bloke's page on his views of the pussification of the western male.

I like his rationale.

WW2 vs now is very different

WW2 era main theme: Sacrifice

Nowaday's main theme: Materalism, automation, Consumerism, etc

Kids nowadays don't appreciate anything and take everything for granted. Little do they know that 60 years ago, kids as young as 16 were heading off to the killing fields to get shot at and blown up. Knowing that you could at the recieving end of three bursts from an MP-40 is a little different than well whatever **** 16 year olds do nowadays. Oh yea that's right. They do absolutely nothing

But as for the cave man with the blog, I think he can take his uncivilized macho ******* bullshit and shove it up his ***.

Pussifacation isn't the problem. The problem is that these ***** are UNGRATEFUL and SELFISH

This guy hit the nail on the head.

Instead of teaching our children of firearms and firearm safety they get expelled for even pointing their fingers in jest.

I'd like to share a comment I posted on a LOCAL message board in my community, I think it sums up a bit on how I feel youth should be taught by adults.

The way I see it, there are basically 2 issues here. 1 is getting kids up off there lazy worthless a$es to go outside and do something. And 2, want to do it all the time with very little money/supervision required.

And THIS is the problem with the people who put the effort into giving kids something to do... THEY ARE AN AUTHORITY FIGURE, therefore, although they may be COOL to some kids, these SAME KIDS, will view this adults NORMAL life as boring and not worthy of emulation.

How about a program where those of authority in this town TEACH the youth of tomorrow the aspects of politics and government policy. And most important, community UPKEEP and RESPECT.

Like, hey lets have a day out on the shooting range with the COPS and let some of the youth watch the training that these guys go threw to protect them every day, not just to ticket them for M.I.P.

I mean, ****, cops IN GENERAL get a bad rep from the public just because there cops... you know, breaking up the FUN, giving out those dang tickets... almost always unfairly... yeah.. see what I'm saying..

It wouldn't work for the fire department as fires are not an exact.. but I bet they would get a kick out off public BURNINGS and some of the OLDER kids would love to participate... ****, I know I would have LOVED to do that as a kid... even in my teens years... everybody does !!!

Back in Iowa where I grew up for some years, we would have FIREHOUSE partys... **** EVERYONE who was a kid/teen HAD to be there. Some of our school teachers would be there dessed in CASUAL WARE and not being all uptight like they were in school, and they'd just hang out and joke around and have fun with us.

If ANYTHING you could call the event a PUBLIC SERVICE OFFICIALS party for everyone who was a kid.

Now of COURSE I realize that something like that is NOT a reoccuring daily type activity, but kids of ALL AGES will emulate and respect those who are NORMAL to them and seen in a different view then there ORDINARY Uniformed life.

When we were kids in Iowa, the cops would tell us storys of there work, and they'd CURSE even !! Just plain tell it like it is, and I can guarentee most of us kids in town would NOT be in trouble, we'd be out hanging around and if we saw a teacher or cop, or whoever, we'd all go TO THEM, not sneak away like we don't want them to notice us.. There is alot to be said for COMMUNITY INTEREST in our PUBLIC OFFICES and the people who hold these positions. It can and SHOULD be used as a deterrent for not only drinking, but other crimes as well.

Very well said.

While on my Scout trip last week the Scout Master told me a similar story.

When he was a kid, they had an old barn that needed to be torn down.

They had the whole town come out (including the fire department) and they let the kids light matches and throw them in. He said they couldn

heres one big ******* difference, today we need to worry about getting sued or put in jail, or slammed politically if we "insult" an enemy or his faith, what the **** ever happened to the good old days where if they didn't **** off we nuked there *****? **** today we would need to help the japs kill themselves and pray for them, or ******* let them blow themselves up in our faces.....oh, wait, WE DO!!!!! if we see a ****** half dead with a grenade we need to ******* politely ask him if hes on our side, tell you what, ill ask him that after i put 3 .223 slugs in his head from an M16 A2 and then empty the rest of the magazine into his **** friend driving the truck at me 'just to **** off Michal Moore' i guess what I'm getting at is WAR IS TOO ******* POLITICAL, WAR IS WAR FOR A REASON, LET THE MEN SHOOT THE OTHER MEN AND KEEP YOUR CHICKEN *** OUT OF IT IF IT BOTHERS YOU

But as for the cave man with the blog, I think he can take his uncivilized macho ******* bullshit and shove it up his ***.

You think the 'cave man' made no rational points at all? So he's into guns? Is that it? His comments on the emasculation of males is relevant to many problem areas in western society, in my book.

Pussifacation isn't the problem. The problem is that these ***** are UNGRATEFUL and SELFISH

Granted, but the pussification of males is also a huge **** problem.

In schools, if a young bloke is feeling his oats, he is usually defined as being ADD, or some other dreamt up reason for simply being a young man emerging from childhood. Result? He's given drugs to "control" his natural urges.

The underacheiver at school is no longer "kept down" so she/he can improve their knowledge and actually pass the tests. They are moved on to avoid "stigmatising" them in their development. Trouble is, when they drop out of school into the workforce, and they can't fill out a form, or read a memo, or add up, for ***** sake , won't they be stigmatised then?

And why? Because no one bothered to tell the kid that they are not achieving. No one made that kid do their homework, and no one gave a **** that the kid wasn't passing tests. Soft **** indeed.

Our tax dollars are being wasted on this kind of 'education'.

so true, not to mention the teaches cant smack the **** out of the little ****** when they do stuff, do you think suspending a kid that just got into a fight is going to even faze him? they just see it as a vacation

 

[phreakwars]

**** straight, that was always the way I took it... yeah suspend me, don't do me any favors.
