We, members of this forum, are very fortunate to have access to 15,000 or so most of who adhere to old school policy and ethics. But that still leaves several billion out there who don't know us and are left to the world they see on tv. We make heroes out of crooked politicians and meth makers and dealers, we create "reality" shows that have nothing to do with reality all on TV. think about it, where does education come from today, First from schools that no longer teach, History, social studies, ethics, constitutional rights, or even the simplest manners. We then continue our education we are either taught by mostly socialist professors, or, for most, witch, with the advent of $20 steaks and $4 gas is Tv.
It is my true belief that the world can only be saved by those like us.
sry for the rant . mcw a Realist.
I'm about to have a rant that coincides with olddude's message, so here it goes
I'm 16 and my parents raised me on those ethics. I work my ass off at anything I do, and I stick to it, and if I make a mistake I live up to it.
This summer, I worked at the local fairgrounds doing maintenance work for 8 weeks. I worked with another summer student, who was two years older than me. You could tell his parents raised him on either different ethics or no ethics. He pretty much did jack all, and what he did do was horrible and sloppy and I had to try and fix everything he did, such as painting. But, I was told, I am about 99% guarranteed a job next summer, he will not be welcome back. I see this so much in everyone my age, and it honestly bothers me so much the way things are going with my fellow youth. They all expect instant gratifaction, with no work, they expect everything handed to them, while they sit on their asses and watch netflix. Don't get me wrong, watch netflix, play video games, etc but GET THE WORK DONE
End rant
