This strikes me as "Everyone gets a Trophy" mentality. But then, I am a curmudgeon and am highly suspicious of how teenagers are dressing these days.....

and again....
adding: kids freak me out too. I love my nieces and nephews and all, but having a kid? shit that's just nuts. and they are such babies now with everyone getting a trophy, etc. I got one trophy in my life as a kid and I am still damn proud of it. what would it matter if everyone got one? jeepers, the people who thought that crap up are the same ones who thought the current President was indoctrinating children by telling them to study and stay in school, blah blah blah. and they don't see the socialism in the trophy crap? I studied US-Soviet relations in college (yes, I know showing my age) and I can tell you that is in practice, socialism. just with trophies instead of jobs and bread and vodka.
okay, thanks...my rant is over. :)
Nice rant. I love rants! I tread carefully on this topic (the kids today!), because I suspect every generation has been making the same complaints about the younger generation for the entire history of mankind.
But! These kids today!
Actually, I imagine they're better off than the poor Gen X-ers raised under the influence of the Evil Ronnie Raygun. The 80's really corrupted a large percentage of Americans, and we live with this corruption today.
