I think crime being down has some correlation yes. Direct? That would be a stretch.

My point being we say these things like it is fact. When all it is is our perception of the world which is heavily influenced by the media. I like to ask questions and always question what I hear especially from the media since they have an agenda. I think that is my point.

TMD was in a thread talking about kids flipping cars and how evil spirited kids are today. Same thing was happening years ago.

Also, consider how mean kids were in our better generation simply because a kid were a different color or were gay. There have been a lot of improvements with our society.

I don't need to turn on the news to see children acting out in stores more and more than I have in the past. I can go to a restaurant and see them toss food onto the floor. I can't speak for others that share my view, but media isn't what is making me from my opinion. I can only go by what I have seen in my short 32 years. From my perspective kids today need more discipline than what they may or may not be getting.


You are right though. It is a matter of opinion. I also feel that this topic is similar to those in which we can't discuss here. It can cause a heated debate. You're going to have two sides that feel strongly one way or other and won't give in. I gave my two cents ( which is more than I really should have, I suppose). I am backing out of this thread as I do not wish to create bad blood between you and I, although we don't agree on a few things a lot of times. It is always nice to see the other side and their views. No offense, I have seen your side and don't care to see more. Lol. Only, because I feel strongly about it and don't want to create a heated debate or have that poster to which you can't stand. I like you well enough to just leave it at that.


I'm sure TMD will be on here and you two can continue the debate. Lol.
