I am willing to bet I can tell by what some people post (on this and other subjects) that I can tell their approximate age and or how they were raised. Other than the politicians, this is one of the biggest problems with this country IMO. A large...matter of fact a very large number of 20's to late 30's people in this country has the "I am superior to all others" or the "Everyone is just jacking with me for no reason" mentality. They are unwilling or even unable to take any sort of responsibility for their actions. In their minds it is always better to blame the person that calls them out on something as the reason or the problem. It is preferable to blame the occupation or even the law or rule. They will search out other examples to backup their claim (Dorner)
I first began noticing it about 10/15 years ago or so. At first I thought it was just me. I made a determined effort when raising my four kids that they have to take responsibility of their actions and decisions. And while they were under my care and control I held them to task each and every time. But upon speaking to many others on the subject I soon learned it wasn't just me that had noticed it. The other night (last week) I had a person in the emergency room. Once I got the person in a secured room I went to the Dr's station to speak with the doctor. I told him what I had and what was going on. Guess what he said/asked? Late 20's or early 30's? Yes sir doctor early 30's, how did you know?
Everyone in that age bracket are not like that. I have seen others much older and younger the same way. When you put higher education in the mix it even gets worse. Not knocking higher education by any means. But a large amount of those with degrees act as if someone that does not have equal or higher schooling is not qualified to question them on anything or call them out on anything. Many of those with degrees are unable to do anything. They have no common sense, no work ethic and often no jobs. In short they are like the losers of earlier years except they have degrees.
So with all that said this is one of the reasons (IMO) that we see these type of threads pop up on such a frequent basis. This is all based on my life's experiences and observations and is merely an opinion. But a opinion shared by others.
In short it is never an "Us vs them" unless you yourself make it that way.
NOTE*** before anyone even starts playing the guess my age game I am not going to go there. I am not some sort of age pro-filer or something.
It's a product of the 1990's self esteem movement.
Someone no doubt called it in. We don't know what dispatch told the officers or even how many was sent. None of his rights were violated and he doesn't even have a complaint. But yet he is talking about lawyers and stuff. Age bracket...wanna bet? This is precisely what I am talking about. He was checked out for perhaps arguably using poor judgement. So someone has gotta pay. How dare them!!
