It's the culture he was raised in and ya I second the "sad" because he'll probably die young or end up on the wrong side of the law, mostly out of ignorance. Or perhaps if he's lucky someone will mentor him and get him on the straight and narrow.....
However , I'm SO FREAKIN OVER these little turds that have never been off their block and haven't a clue what honor and courage is really about .
May Darwin work overtime .
This last vid along with the first really sets your mind at ease about our future caretakers.
I did some really dumb stuff when I was younger but never at any time did I approach the total disregard for safety , civility, common sense, or respect that today's youths show. There is a feral rabid aura about some of them that frankly I never remember seeing in my youth among any of my peers. Maybe it s the Meth or the Gangsta culture but whatever it is the little @(*%#$& are a potential danger to themselves and all around them.

Agreed. This goes so far beyond what we considered "getting crazy" and being defiant when we were young. "feral rabid aura"... very well said. This is so sad and disgusting.
There is a generation that has been brought up in a moral vacuum without an intact, loving family. People like to argue over whether the blame should go to TV, hip hop etc. The fact is, TV, video games, hip hop culture, alcohol, and drugs all contribute quite ably to the degeneration of a society where family, love, respect, and discipline are de-emphasized. You can't blame one thing, no more than you can prove any one of these influences has no bearing.
This much I can say: A kid whose exposure to all these things is limited, who attends church, who has two parents, who faces appropriate discipline, and who understand his parents' love, stands a much better chance than the rest at becoming a good, responsible adult.
At the end of the day, we can only take responsibility for our own families. We can't legislate it, but we can continue to lead by example.
