These are the over privileged, spoiled, poorly raised, and selfish that our upper crust produces in most cases and the poorest representation we can present. they also seem to be the most traveled in our society. Me being former Navy the young kids today seem to have a lack of respect for anything other than themselves and that is a pity. In America's search for every overindulgence that seems to be their God given right have forgotten or never learned that a person is just a small cog in a big machine not the machine it's self. Try living over here where a soccer mom will push you into a ditch in her SUV so she can drop her kids off at school, who are too good to ride the bus and still get to coffee with the girls in time because she is the only one that exists on the face of the planet... But all you have to do is wait because everybody hates us around the world but they mimic us so it will come to your country soon. look at the rising problem in Japan today where children don't listen to their parents. I have read quite a few articles on this and it is becoming a big problem over there. so stand by piss poor behavior is coming to your country soon it may take a while but it will come unless we all take the time to educate the next generation. so if we are willing to spend a little more time at home with our children and less grubbing money and not missing our social life maybe we can have a chance.... but Pandora's box is already open..... tick tick tick...
