Americans men are turning into punks more and more every day because the challenges that our fathers, grandfathers and so on are not there anymore. Everything is spoon-fed to us. Nobody has to work for anything anymore. We have become increasingly lazy.
Think about this, 100 years ago we didn’t have nearly as many gyms that exists now, but people, overall, were in better physical condition. You would think that with gyms available everywhere, we would be a nation of strong, healthy people, but we are not.
We are lazier because work ethic is not as attractive as instant gratification, which has been marketed to Americans on a daily basis. “Want to lose weight, take a pill and do 6 min. Abs”, “Want to make more money without half as much work, sign up for my new course”, “Can’t find the love of your life, try speed dating”. It’s ridiculous!
Sorry about the rant, but this topic really pushes my buttons.[/quote]
You know I have to agree with you on this one. The other day while flipping through the channels I caught this show I think on MTV where this rich kid who was the son of a high powdered hip hop producer mogul and Pebbles a singer from the nineties (Let me ride in your Mercedes boy), had to have the best sixteenth birthday party ever.
The kid was at least thirty pounds if not more overweight, but lived like a king with his dads attendants at his beck and call. He was going to die if his party wasn’t just right and if P-Diddy (or whatever he calls himself now) and Kanye west didn’t attend and his limo didn’t drop him off at the party just right.
All of the kids at his upper east side school thought he was the hero of the day for his party. Made me think it’s a sad day in America when a kid who hasn’t done shit and whose health was shit could be worshipped like that. But, I guess money makes the world go round.
