Glenn Beck on this generation of kids - The Me Generation

Beck opines on the effects that politically correct parents, teachers and society has had on many of the kids in this generation. Not all, but a large number of the kids we have raised are selfish have a strong sense of entitlement....ripe to accept the liberal agenda of socialism. Educators make sure you catch the segments beginning 1:45 and 5:50 as the schools seem to be doing everything in their power to accommodate and "make comfortable" the kids of today. Many need to stop raising their kids in a utopian fairy tale and teach them about the real world we live in so they have realistic views once they enter that world and can become contributing members of society.

Times have changed. End of story. Obviously the letter to the editor wasn't serious about their statement, just making a point of the young are also in need of health care. It isnt like in the 1940, you can leave high school and have a well paying job, a house and what not. We are pushed into schools, colleges, universitys... we are pushed to succeed. The letter isnt about being selfish, its about raising awareness to the fact that elderly arent the only ones who are in need of it.

@Johnrl21 I'm with you on that one. Every company wants a loyal hard working employee we just want the same from our companies...to be well taken care and feel a sense of loyalty from them.

I'm extremely selfish and entitled and it has nothing to do with my parents or the society around me. I just don't like being bossed around by a bunch of losers and I believe wealth is distributed so unfairly that the whole country is lawless.

i love the face book/youtube part.

and the out comes part, however i think each generation shouldnt have to pay for the previous generations mistakes or, decisions.

put it this way, if im going to do time for raping a bitch, i want to have gotten my moneys worth and actually raped a bitch.

apply that logic to this, if i gotta pay for all the bail outs, wars, etc guess what i want

i disagree with beck a lot of the time, and to some extent on this as well, however i think the point of having the government these kinds of descisions being wrong, is correct. It seems that we are accepting more and more government in our daily lives, even to the point of the schools becoming the primary place in which children learn right from wrong. Education is one thing, but the state showing that much interest in raising everyones children is worrying.

this guy makes millions..and I bet his children get EVERTHING they dream of

I'm sure he has some merit in what he's saying here. You should only get what you earn. Like his honourary doctorate degree! You know, the one that he earned his bachelor's and master's degree for. The same one he wrote his PhD dissertation for, and defended his thesis in front of a PhD panel.

And no, im not putting down people who have lower levels of education than others. I'd just like some consistency in his argument
