For the longest time I'd wondered why social media was to blame for the up-tick of poor manners, bad behavior and overall stupidity. Turns out, it's because every adult is setting a poor example publicly. And unfortunately, it's too late. There is too much out there now for children to witness or dial up that shows adults losing it. When I was a kid it was a big deal losing it. And they certainly didn't do it around children. So think about it. You see old people acting nutty day in and day out. The fuck do you think are your barriers then? There are none.
When adults lose it publicly children get freaked. Do it enough times, they shrug and wonder what the big deal was. That's desensitizing yourself to real issues when it becomes an issue. In my day (old guy rant) your world was about 5 miles in radius. For the most part, kids can travel the world in high definition and realize, not only are their parents losing it, other parents are too. And we're laughing like retards. Until a school shooting occurs again. What's it to what's his name who murdered all those people. Seems his adoptive parents didn't seem to regulate him. Essentially, the extreme is never enough anymore because of social media. We feel nothing because if a grown up blows their gasket...and this is normal, we all act like abuse children. They are essentially teaching the ones who watch, that...even as an adult we have no control. That's why the youth today are rambumctious. We need to stop now before it's too late.
