In the ,what some would call the bad old days of family structure ,Mom ,Dad and the kids , where teachers,the postman, were trusted members of society and who told you your kids were acting up they were believed without question,where comedians like Red ,Jack along with Burns and Allen did not have to use swear words, where violence was in the form of b movies starring Roy,Gene and Hoppy,we did not have the problems of today. But we were set free from the conservative constraints by socialism that came about in the sixtys. If it feels good it must be OK types. Well we reap what we sow. We have changed society. Having children no longer means responsibility. Marriage breakdowns soon as the lust wears a little thin. Have sex,have an abortion without a thought. Hell you didn`t know who`s kid it was any way.We find excuses for perpatraters of violent crime. We have a revolving door legal system. We no longer have a justice system. It is a legal system now thanks to the Charter of Rights. Everyone has rights now ,unless your a victim. I watched a show today about the plight of teachers being attacked by students. Why do we see more of this? Because there are no consequences. Thats why.
I have watched a lot over my years. Societal change is a good thing as long as we don`t lose sight of the fact that we have all these rights ,but they also should be taught that to fully enjoy these rights that we must accept our societal responsibilitys. It is this last that we neglect to teach our children.
i don`t like the violence on TV but it will not make a good kid go bad. There has to be more to it. Broken homes, a hand full of siblings all with different Fathers. A welfare system that becomes a way of life. Again thats a right. My siblings and I grew up poor and went to bed some nights hungry. But we never became criminals. We were taught right from wrong. We were led by example.
