I think he is just saying that in his opinion it is not a "generational" thing. I do think though that a good :cry: whoopin' :cry: as a kid makes you think twice about some choices you will make....even as an adult.
I do disagree with his statement though. If you looks at the way parents are treated when it comes to raising kids or raising their hand to their kids then it is a "what year it is" issue. When I am put into the spotlight because I smack my son on the a$$ then that is wrong. He knows that he has crossed the line when I get to that point and I can count on one hand how many times that has happened.
The amount of disrespect that today's kids have for adults and authority is disgraceful and yes it is alot of 21 year olds that have the self centered attitude. But for as many punks ages 12-40 out there there are twice as many good and respectable kids. Yes I classify 21 years old as still being a kid.
I partied my a$$ off growing up but I NEVER disrespected those around me or their property the way that punks do nowdays.
Just my two pennies.
