Bill Cosby, America's father figure, has recently blasted black parents and teachers for not doing enough for their children. He goes on to state that black people should stop blaming white people for their problems. I would agree with all of his points except I would change one. I would replace the word "black" with "all".
Lately, I can't seem to talk with anyone under the age of 23 and have them use proper language skills or spelling. It all seems to be about flash and no substance with them. They all want things in life that come with hard work and saving money, but they don't want to work for it. Of course, I thought the same things when I was younger, but the difference is that I knew I would have to work for what I wanted. Big houses, nice cars, etc, were all something to be earned rather then given.
What happened to smacking your kids on their little butts when they got out of line and telling them no? Parents now a days don't seem to care as long as their children aren't in jail, on drugs, or pregnant. When I was a young boy, if I got in trouble at school and sent home, I couldn't walk through my neighborhood without a man or woman asking me why I was home early from school. Once they knew, they'd spank my butt and send me home, where I'd get a further spanking. Children have been raised on corporal punishment for thousands of years and as adults, they've accomplished great things. Now that it's been fashionable to be a lazy parent, what have we accomplished in say the last 10 years? Anything really? Things have gotten bigger, better, faster, and cheaper, but nothing new has come up. When we get back to raising children properly and being involved in their lives, you'll start seeing things get better with time.
