IMHO, among the mistakes that we've made was giving every kid a trophy for just showing up, so that their fragile feelings wouldn't be scared at a young age

we have a generation of people that grew up in a bubble and now aren't able to accept reality

we also have a lot of people in academia that are very biased....and seem to preach their own bias vs teach the course content...
then when these kids graduate and they realize they weren't prepared for the real world, they whine and pout and decide they're not going to pay off their college loans

the country I grew up in no longer exists
"the country I grew up in no longer exists." I have movies that prove it never did exist.
We had some 16mm typical home movie kind of stuff that were taken by my uncle.
We never had a 16mm projector so I had never seen them. I was like 4 and my sister like 5. I recall eating those two stick ice pops and both may parents and my grandparents making me go back to pick up the trash that I had tossed. I assumed the streets were cleaner when we were kids. Well my movies show clearly trash blowing around the city streets.

I grew up POOR yet I had a solid family. Perhaps, the fault of my parents. I do not belong in our current world. I was taught if you need something, if you want something you work for it. Failure, simply was not an option to be considered.
