Children learn what is acceptable from their parents. At what time is a child transformed from a having a promising future to having no future. Is this when the culture of hip-hop and do what you want mentality become more dominant and the guidance from parents becomes a thing that happens in other families. Is this why America seems to be unwoven specially around the inner-cities and urban population centers. This type of life is considered to be normal because it is how they were raised. They don't know any better. This is also the same reason why these population centers vote Democratic. Again because they do not know any better. RS> It's a tough thing to deal with. Like you said, there were a lot of RS> failures here. RS> As far as the gun issue... I'm tired of beating this stick with a dead RS> horse. Not touching it. Ok but I will. It is beyond obvious. There was a time when young men used to bring riffles to school as a instrument of pride. Now it would be considered to be an element of fear. Is Diversity and Inclusion responsible, I think it is. aka: Feelings... I have no problem with anyone wanting to express themselves, but why must we all be forced to witness and celebrate their triumph?
