Well yes, didn't you get the memo? Our children are much more fragile than we were. Thats why we can't spank them anymore.

yes mine told me that once, and after I spanked her I gave her the # to call so they could take her away from me and the wife, funny thing she never called or said that again, And both my girls have grown in to young Libertarians, of the Goldwater type...not the nutty Paul type...

Ya that's a good one. I remember when playing sports that if we didn't work at it hard enough, we would lose. Now, there is no such thing as losing for kids, everybody wins. I don't understand how one can instill what real victory feels like if you never experience what it feels like to lose. If everybody is rewarded, what incentive is there to work your butt off for a win Wait 'till these kids get out into the real world

I dunno whats worse, when these kids have to face the world and are completely unprepared to deal with failure, or having to share the world with a generation of crybabies.

There is no incentive to win or work when everything is handed to you.
