I know right.

We're getting weaker and weaker as a nation because parents have forgotten how to instil REAL courage and self-confidence in their children. Back in my day you played sports or did carpentry/yardwork/car repair/ hunting/fishing etc. with your dad. And somewhere in there you learned about problem solving, independence, self-reliance, confidence and what it takes to be a man. You learned to enjoy what you enjoy in life and not give a fuk what other people think about you. Nowadays we're teaching our kids to be pussies who tell the teacher anytime someone says something that makes them sad. It's no wonder America's youth are now such self-absorbed attention-craving monsters they wouldn't understand the meaning of the word altruism unless Jacob Marley started strangling them with a chain until they could learn/recite the definition.
