Maybe all these kids should just be put on disability until the next time Democrats win the Presidency. Oh Hell....lets just make it permanent. We all know these little wussies will never be able to make it in the real world.
That's the same attitude every older generation takes to the kids coming up. And every time they say that this time is different becasue this time it's really getting out of hand. And it's never different. In 20 years the high schoolers and college kids of today will be b*tching and complaining about the "pussification" of the kids of tomorrow. And the cycle will continue.
Yup. Every generation since time immemorial is weaker than its predecessor. It's a scientifically proven fact that I just made up. My generation is weaker than the one before, and the kids of today are weaker than mine. The kids of today's kids will be weaker than them, and so on.
And in the end, nothing will really change or matter. Except for social progress and climate change. Cuz of reasons.

Yeah, except it wasn't. I recall being in school when The Challenger blew up, and when Regan was shot. Nobody got the day off or had a shoulder put out for us to cry on. They told us to SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP and get back to work. Unlike now, were they can't handle an ELECTION!
These kids are being WUSSIFIED!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I even remember being in school when they showed the Waco Compound burning to the ground on TV during classes. The Teach in the room just slurped his coffee and make a crack along the lines of "I hope they like it hot".
WUSSIES I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!

And if only there was some way to reverse the trend. Surely complaining about it on the internet is helping immensely to cease the wussification, but there simply must be another, more efficient way. Let's see, what could stop it, what could stop it... hmmm...
There is. We STOP LETTING THEM ACT LIKE WUSSIES!!
Originally posted by Silent MasterI and Flyattractor both. You're chiming in quite nicely too, thank you. Now what can we three do about the pussification of the next generation. All this forum banter has really advanced our cause by leaps and bounds, but it just doesn't seem to do the trick. What else can we do to cease the senseless pussification of the younger generation? We must act now before it's too late.
You're the one that is complaining and whining about it on the internet.
Originally posted by FlyattractorYes, but How? is the real question. We know that the younger generation reads all of our comments and takes us very seriously. And we know that when we tell our own children to behave a certain way that they always obey to the letter. But how do we reach the masses? The millions of teenagers and 20-somes still in school? They're all being pussified, so HOW do we stop them? Think think think...

I don't think randomly slapping people will get our message across. We must take this seriously, or else the next generation is going to grow up to become soft and weak. We must literally, actually stop the wussification that is endemic in high schools and colleges across the country. What is the best, most effective to get people to see things our way? What can we use to convince them, realistically speaking?
Originally posted by Silent MasterThat's okay, you're just a beginner at this. But if you want to be a force for change, you need to complain more. The children of America can't hear you passively sitting this one out. You need to speak up or else things will never change how we want them to.
You'll notice that while I've made a couple of comments, none of them have been of a whining or complaining nature.
Originally posted by FlyattractorSlap a few people randomly and you get nowhere. Assaulting and physically hurting people won't change an entire generation, and it certainly won't make them sympathetic to our cause, much less understand it. As real people, what can we--you, me, every adult who sees our children or even grandchildren become spoiled, self-entitled brats do about it? Not just to our own kids, but to all of them? How do we, the previous generation, stop change in its tracks?
