Ghost, I understood where you were coming from. The thing that makes America great is our freedoms.Even though they seem to be getting harder to find everyday. One of those freedoms is the choice to serve in the military or not. I am not gonna dare give my opinion on that issue,but it is a free will choice we get to decide for ourselves. The fact that it is a personal decision to make,i believe,is exactly why all of our Soldiers that decide to put their life on the line for our Country are HEROS!!!
I love our Soldiers and Veterans.
But you are soooo right. The sense of entitlement has gotten way out of hand. And it exist because the Gov't gives out so many hand out that many people don't have to earn anything. They just except it to be handed to them.It makes me sick to see people on disability and welfare that ''need'' it have under the table side jobs. Those lazy creeps are getting rich while I'm getting poorer.
You will never respect anything you didn't earn yourself. Your hard work to earn something is what gives it value.
Besides,if a person gets doped up and kills someone with their car the Gov't will more than likely do everything to protect that person. I'm sorry the kid got tangles up with drugs. I hope he gets clean and stays that way. But you still have to be made responsible for your actions. Well,you are supposed to be held responsible...but it doesn't happen like that anymore.
Anyways,I know exactly what you meant.Things are a mess. A doped up kid killed a man with his car and hurt several others. I doubt he will ever see the inside of a jail. Probably have to pay fines and take some sort of counseling
