[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 838365, member: 4362"] I think the bottom line is we need to find some way to teach responsibility rather than wasting money on enabling someone to continue down the wrong path. This path is going to grow exponentially and is unsustainable. When 52% of the population doesn't work and pay taxes rather than the 47% we have now, the wagon is going to tip over. I think its fair to say that the majority of us on this forum learned responsibility from our parents and possibly the church. These key elements are missing in too many childrens' lives today and they are learning that they don't have to be responsible because someone else or the government is going to take care of them. We've made it too easy to fail or not apply yourself. We have rewarded mediocracy. Seems everyone gets an award in the school system now. This has to change for everyone's sake. I can guarantee this will be painful. Just as it was extremely painful for me when on graduation night my daddy gave me two weeks to find a job and a place to live cause I was on my own and he meant every word. I first thought him a heartless SOB but now I view this as the most loving thing he ever did for me. [/QUOTE]
