We have a morality problem. Again, some PoS took a gun to a soft target and opened fire, killing innocent civilians. It’s too easy to blame the drugs, the easy access to guns, the music, the movies, the television and so forth. Nobody wants to talk about morals and values.
Over half a century ago, public schools has rifle teams with high school kids practicing and competing in the high schools! And kids learned about the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I and World War II! Major Audie Murphy starred in a movie playing himself in “To Hell and back.” In one scene Murphy gets on a Sherman tank on fire gets behind a Ma Duce and mows down a group of German soldiers. We had numerous gangster movies, horror movies with actors like Vincent Price, John Wayne movies where somebody is at the wrong side of a firearm, James Bond movies, and Alfred Hitchcock movies with murder and mayhem. On television you had Westerns galore, as well as detective shows. Do you know what else we had? A stable nuclear family! People remained married and families remained together.
Today, medicine and counseling replaced discipline. If a kid acts up instead of a parent using a spoon, the school gets involved and kid gets Ritalin and counseling. I’m not saying you have to be Joan Crawford or Henry Hill’s father, but if your kid acts up, make them realize that actions have consequences!
Another problem is that for too long parents wanted to be the kids best friend, not the parent. That’s why we have boys now going around being girls! Imagine you telling your father when you’re in elementary or high school that you feel that you want to be a female and you will start to dress up like a girl!? Your father would make Bull Meechum look like Ned Flanders. It’s up to the parents job to raise your kids, not television and not your smart phone! We went from Ward and June Cleaver to the Kardashians!
Walter and I have done things we are not proud of. But we do our best to make sure our kids are straight! I’m going through some things with my wife, but I am in my kids life every single day telling them right from wrong. It’s my job! And I see what they are watching on Netflix and Youtube and what they are reading, and there are times I will tell them what is on television or in the book is not normal. They will tell me when things on television are not appropriate for them! But if Walter and I are telling you to get your shit together, then there is something very wrong
Parents; do your kids and society a favor and raise your kids right!
