ah, christmas, that wonderful time of year when people will push you over to get at that new hot toy, so their spoiled demon-spawn children can play with it for 2 hrs, then go back to eating dirt.
If you couldn't tell, I work retail, and I tell you, it has done wonders for my outlook on human beings. It's sad, but now i view people in general as consumer sheep, willing to buy whatever the fucking corporations tell them to. Children have definately gotten worse. When i was a kid, if i mouthed off to my parents, or worse, started crying over a toy, they'd take me out of the store and beat the living shit out of me, literally. I swear, when did parents become such pussies? Stand up to your spawn, beat them, they'll thank you for it later when they don't end up in prison.
My views may not be popular ones, especially among parents, but learning to fit into a societal group begins with the home. If your kids can get away with things at home, they will try to get away with things elsewhere. Hell, where do you think the prison population started?
Some may say I'm a pessimist. I prefer to think of myself as a optomistic pessimist. I hope and pray that human beings will grow up, I wish humans could learn to not be so greedy and to help those who need it. And yet, i know this will never happen, as long as there are human parasites: those who use the kindness of others for their own gain. So many people I've known in RL won't help anyone anymore, cause of people using them. I'm getting there myself >< It really is a sad world we live in when Schadenfreude is the national pastime.
