Absolutely AGREE! The country is going into the shitter..... people today are too concerned about being politically correct and not properly punishing their children, because they are afraid of the negative consequences.... Instead they overprotect and shelter their children thinking they are helping them. Unfortunately, it has the complete opposite effect.
"Teach a child to fish or keep feeding them the fish you caught." If you adopt the later philosophy, the only problem is that when you’re gone... your children have no survival instincts and will quickly be consumed by society. It’s like a tiger not teaching their cub how to hunt. What happens when the parent is gone, the cub dies as well.
I know that is an extreme example, but is it really?
A lot of parents today shelter their kids and don't teach them about Morales, the value of a dollar and that it takes hard work, dedication and integrity to get ahead...
We saw in the past election what 51% of Americans want.... they want Free Handouts without having to work for it.
Be careful what you wish for America.... you just might get what you want.
Look how well that philosophy has worked for countries like, Greece, Spain, Portugal... etc. They adopted that policy and now they are either completely bankrupt or close to it!!!!!!!
Personally, I think we need not be so concerned with Materialistic Bullshit things. Instead, we should focus on family, without being a "Helicopter" Parent.
Just my 2 cents......
