Re: Are kids more pussified today?
Seems kids these days are a bunch of whining pussies. Im sure some were that way when I was a kid but I don't remember it really.
In this day and age where everbody gets a trophy, people don't keep score etc. I think the nation is growing softer.
Bullying for instance is bad, but fuck, I was bullied my entire life and it just made me stronger and more determined. I owe a lot of my inner strength etc to it today.
I remember growing up in the projects as a kid and we didn't eat out or have nice things and the rich jock bastards at school would make fun etc but thats just how it was.

That's great that you thrived throught bullying, but in many instances it has caused suicide and depression.
That's maybe how a teenagers social life worked decades ago, but it doesn't need to be like that. I'm 16 and experienced bullying in middle school up until the beginning of high school. Did I grow from it? Yes. But would I have been better off not being bullied. You bet! Being bullied isn't the only way to overcome adversity, there are much healthier ways to overcome it
I see way too many kids sitting alone during lunch to believe bullying is a healthy aspect of growing up
Just wait until you have a son/daughter that comes home and just emotionally breaks down and then tell me that bullying is alright
At first I was alright with the way you saw this issue, but the more I write this, the more I'm pissed that some people see it the way you do
Re: Are kids more pussified today?
Not kids, boys and men are. I swear there is nothing more bizarre seeing a 19 year old boy talking about womens rights, not because he's interested in politics, but because it's viewed as the hip thing to do these days.
I can see why our forefathers made laws to restrict women, cause many men apparently can't assert themselves without the backing of armed soldiers.

Best 16-year old comment on bullying in the history of man. Agree with literally everything. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Wow. 
Re: Are kids more pussified today?
BUT at the same time, we need a balance. Games should always have scores. For as much as it is healthy to contain bullying, its also just as healthy to expose children to loss and disappointment. They have to know what it's like to feel disappointment in order to deal with it. From what i've discovered, life is FULL of crushing disappointments. The only reason i'm here today is because I was tolarant of it at a young age. I got to deal with rejection early. Eventually I became numb to it. Still hurts a little though, but more in a Dr. Loomis, "I knew this would happen" sort of attitude.
You want a kid committing suicide over bullying at 16? Or do you want an adult committing suicide at 25 because they can't deal with REAL life?
It's your decision to quote Mr. Cantrell.
