First no hookers for them in Itaewon... and now this. Laughing

I came to the realization today that American society is heaping on rules and laws in an attempt to make up for bad parenting. Not speaking about tattoos here, really... just noticed that one side of the USA is over-compensating on the legal side in an attempt to control freedoms which have grown excessive on the other, due to lack of self-control.

Heck, who can control themselves anymore? From porn to drugs to music downloading, there are more ways then ever available to us if someone wants to break the law. It's like being in a candy store and being told not to eat anything.

So what's the government's response? Music downloading is bad, so lets sue 12 year-old children. MTV is showing boobs on national TV, so lets compensate with extremely harsh laws dealing with this and that. A few teachers out of a thousand molest students, so lets all but put up a plastic barrier between a teacher and the class (you watch -- wouldn't be surprised if it happened one day) it goes on.

What man would ever want to teach young kids in the USA? It's getting so that no guy wants to, for fear of some little kid being unhappy with a grade and claiming the teacher molested him/her. No proof is needed -- the teacher is GONE, career ruined -- just like that. People would forever be suspicious, and the teacher's photo and address ends up on a government website list of "sex offenders" before even proven guilty (this happened to my neighbor -- never proven guilt, but they put him up there beforehand -- he was not a teacher, though).

The land of the free is no longer so free. It will become the land of laws to make up for crappy parenting, resulting from too many broken families.

The subject is too broad to explain in a simple post, and I have class now.

Is this America or the world in general? I think it's a problem everywhere you go. There should be some sort of test. If you fail...you are sterilized.

There's already a similar rule in the Canadian Armed Forces.
