Here goes: Bill Cosby and George Carlin have the right idea. I get weary of how people constantly bicker about the way society is, and play the never-ending blame game. Where they blame ones culture, ones upbringing, corporates, companies, politicians, rather than observing themselves in the mirror and realizing, the problems stem from us, the people. More specifically, how upcoming parents, are no longer parents, but child-worshippers, or worse, people who consider their children nothing but annoyances after they reach a certain age. When did saying no to your child become an unforgivable sin? When did disciplining your child for bad behaviour become classified as child abuse? When was it acceptable for implementing bad behaviour as a means for scamming local businesses because you missed a sale, and simply couldnt tell your child you couldnt afford a gift he/she didnt really deserve? Why is it not okay for a child to scream and yell in a place of worship in a church, temple or synagogue, but its perfectly all right for a child to make noise in a theater, auditorium or public gathering? Can someone tell me why a father cant tell his child/teenager, No, Im not buying this for you, when they instead would rather make a scene for paying something outrageous at one store, when they discover the item cheaper at another store. Then instead attempt to pull a scheme in making the original store appear as if they victimized him with a scam? Why is it okay for letting a child unattended, enter a store and purchase something unacceptable, and yet not take accountability for it? Why is it parents dont pay attention to what their children are doing until its too late, then blame everyone under the sun but themselves for the situation? But better yet, when did people start treating stores as glorified ATMs, rather than stores? Treating clerks as third-class citizens rather than people? When will people stop having the antiquated notion that stores have endless merchandise and nobody will notice if someone takes something without paying? Or go under the misapprehension that stores perform tax write-offs for loss prevention? Because all this does, folks, is give corporates a legitimate reason for them not to treat their employees with respect and give them the raises and benefits they deserve. Oh, Ms. Rigatone, you wanted a raise for your loyal service to us? Well, Im sorry, but we cant because Ms. Mateo scammed several discounts from us for spoiling her sons [insert holiday], and now we dont have the money to give it to you. Sad, but true. Why do people mistreat the small and local businesses, then have the gall to act surprise when they go out-of-business? Or instead constantly blame the Wal-Mart, when they expect the small businesses to implement the same return/refund policies as the Wal-Mart? Or why do they tell a child when they find something cheaper there, thats its okay to return an opened product back to the other store? Then when a problem occurs, the so-called parent claims the child doesnt understand, when they are coherent enough to know the meaning of a dollar? Even better, when exactly did hard work become a major sin in our world? When did it become okay to let slacker friends get away with murder because they are a single-parent? Or berate someone who hasnt knocked someone up by proclaiming they have a family to support, implying you do not, though you do support your parents, grandparents, and what have you? Overall, why do people presume the world owes them something, when in reality, we genuinely owe the world to make it a better place? Just some questions I ponder, but then, there are some like Myles Eckert, who prove there is hope for this world. He found $20 and gave it to someone who needed it. Essentially, its about time we stopped blaming others for societys failings and start taking accountability for our actions. But hey, guys, thats just me.
