Munts Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 that is kinda like this quote.. "Our youth now love luxury, they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders, and love to chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers." allegedly from Socrates, 399 BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion21 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Unfortunately I think Ken is correct, but we can as individuals blaze our own trail to try an offset the evils we see all around us . We can teach our children that their education is the most valuable asset they have. We can teach them the joy of working hard and excelling in school. We can support charities and organizations that do good in our own communities. We can save as much as possible and be responsible with our money (teaching our children another lesson). We can properly plan that if bad things were to happen (death, disability etc.) that our families will be ok. We can respect those we love and show generosity without expecting anything in return. Finally, we can make an effort to try to be really good and generous people everyday. The other option is clear enough on any "news" website: "Kim Kardashian Expecting 1st Child with Rapper Kayne West - Kardashian Not Yet Divorced from 2nd Husband" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munts Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 i heard that they are not gong to let the kid be in a reality show, at least for the first year of his life.
