The welfare system and the useless fat fucks it produces.

all of the above and probably most of the below to come

I'm AstralAdvent and i approved this message.

The "it's OK to be fat" mentality
The desire to take the easy way out all the time
The "everyone is a winner" trend in child rearing
The fact that most people are fiscally retarded and yet they'll probably end up better off than the people who aren't in the end

8/21/2009 7:21:39 PM

^those are good...i can't quite articulate my feelings like that

the fact that we are forced to care more about disabled, retarded, ugly, obese, old people, more than a normal person. and you get called a heartless asshole for not doing so.

oh, and fat people

And food has been pretty much been replaced by food-like products

Pharmaceuticals are advertised on commercials

lazy kids

8/21/2009 7:50:47 PM

nah, kids have been universally lazier than their parent generation since the beginning of time. i'm willing to let that one go.

8/21/2009 7:52:52 PM

but American kids are lazier than kids from other countries

8/21/2009 7:55:37 PM

lazier than french kids?

europe is a continent with a daily scheduled naptime ... for adolescents and adults .. im not seeing laziness topping that

have you met agis?

8/21/2009 8:04:26 PM

i'd probably be more productive workin 4 hours, nap, 4 hours.. maybe..

8/21/2009 8:06:36 PM

i cherish my afternoon naps

8/21/2009 8:08:05 PM

its more like, work at 9, lunch at 11, siesta at 2, work at 5, close at 6

8/21/2009 8:09:02 PM

Naps have actually been proven to increase employee productivity through many extensive studies. It is a practice that is a norm in Japan as well.

8/21/2009 8:10:47 PM

you got to be productive to increase productivity

8/21/2009 8:11:37 PM

the sense of entitlement and need for constant praise/affirmation that most kids coming out of school have now

8/21/2009 8:16:52 PM

^^haha it is so frustrating dealing with new hires now. it is like the expect to receive "participation" or "nice try" certificates all the time and get insulted if you don't constantly tell them how special they are... how about "you did your job so here is your paycheck"

DOUCHES

8/21/2009 8:22:42 PM

^^^for real? can you give a specific example of how this goes down? it seems like my company would have little tolerance for such behavior.

[Edited on August 21, 2009 at 8:24 PM. Reason : whiney kids, not douches. they would frown on douches too, though ]

8/21/2009 8:23:37 PM

oh i see it all the time. the interns i managed this year were the worst yet. we pay them outrageously.. actually pay them the equivalent of a full time engineers AND we comp part of their housing/rent for the summer. but they still managed to bitch about how the company wasn't paying "enough" or how we didn't arrange enough "activities" for them

see similar in our peer recognition award program for full time employees. we have quarterly "ceremonies" where people can nominate their peers for going above and beyond. every time i come out of there, i think to myself... "that wasn't above and beyond... that was their damn job." and of course you hear people complaing that they didn't receive one too. OH the horror!

^^^sounds like you work for a large company. my company's version of peer recognition is "congratulations, you're getting a paycheck. just like everyone else."

Barring the fact that I didn't go paint the tunnel, I think more real-life meets need to happen. And it's probably best I didn't paint the tunnel, nobody was infected with this cold.

neighbors who don't talk to each other
the english language, which is dum
our national attitude change from the underdog to the bully
