How can american kids be so disobedient and illmannered?

It's because current "rules", made by someone whom everyone decided to listen to for whatever reason, and by politically correct chumps, tell us that we can't correct kids because they have to feel good about anything they are doing or it will reduce their self esteem. And you can't spank them because it's abusive and they can sue you. You have to let them be part of a team regardless of how lazy or out of shape they are, or they will lose self-esteem and it's all your fault not theirs. In other words, the self-styled cutting edge intellectuals from liberal circles are degrading our nation's character one generation at a time. People in my parent's generation were courteous, and when they dressed, they looked sharp. People took care to look sharp and polished, as best they could. There were social graces....Show more

Shut the hell up!! Your just mad because your not American!! Your just simply looking at the bad side of Americans. There are millions of good things about us. Lot's of children and teens have high respect for their parents. The reasons SOME children disrespect their parents because the parents let them and don't care. Your parents probaly enforce the rules and care. And FYI people all over the world disrespect their parents not just Americans. You are probaly the stupidest person on the face of the earth. At least we can spell!! Go back to grade school and learn!!...Show more

Kids are like that around the world. Have you ever been to the UK?

ps The Swedes have LAWS that "spare the rod", and their kids aren't holy terrors, but they aren't angels either. I've never seen an American kid do ANY of that. Are you sure you aren't getting your info from trashy talk shows and the Internet?...Show more

i have 5 boys and they love me more than anything.they do express themselves often.but ,we allow that.they may argue a little but they are certainly not the ones out shooting people in drive-bys and selling dope on the corners.not to say that white kids don't ever do this,but it has been proven that african american teenagers have a much,much higher rate of gun violence,gang violence and drug related deaths.also a much much higher rate of drop outs,and murders,and theiving and gang jumping innocent people.
so,you might want to do some research before you go judging white families....Show more

In the name of God. (I'm NOT Muslim, if these words ("In the name of God") sound like I am.)

Peace be unto you.

America has been prophesied to fall by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the culture of America may be reflecting a fall. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is a man who is regarded as the expected Messiah by his followers (if I'm not mistaken) and maybe even by some people who do not follow him, such as myself (I am not a follower of him, but I do think he is the expected Messiah.) If you want, you can read about him and the Nation of Islam at their (the Nation of Islam's) official website @ http://www.noi.org/about.shtml .

Peace.
