Wow what a concept, even trying hard is not enough in life. Don't sue someone becuase you kid learned a life lesson you should have prepared him for.
I think my parents generation needs to be sued for bringing up such a bunch of morons who have unfortunately procreated.
Hey we've tried really hard to defeat the Taliban but haven't. Maybe they should just surrender since we really really tried hard.
I'd be embarassed if those were my parents.
Once again the daycare generation proves that feelings take presidence over ability.
Holy fuck, what is this country coming to?
Us conservatives have been saying that for ages. I guess that makes you one of us now.

Some things about living still weren't quite right, though. April for instance, still drove people crazy by not being springtime. And it was in that clammy month that the H-G men took George and Hazel Bergeron's fourteen-year-old son, Harrison, away.
It was tragic, all right, but George and Hazel couldn't think about it very hard. Hazel had a perfectly average intelligence, which meant she couldn't think about anything except in short bursts. And George, while his intelligence was way above normal, had a little mental handicap radio in his ear. He was required by law to wear it at all times. It was tuned to a government transmitter. Every twenty seconds or so, the transmitter would send out some sharp noise to keep people like George from taking unfair advantage of their brains.
George and Hazel were watching television. There were tears on Hazel's cheeks, but she'd forgotten for the moment what they were about.
On the television screen were ballerinas.
A buzzer sounded in George's head. His thoughts fled in panic, like bandits from a burglar alarm.
"That was a real pretty dance, that dance they just did," said Hazel.
"Huh" said George.
"That dance-it was nice," said Hazel.
"Yup," said George. He tried to think a little about the ballerinas. They weren't really very good-no better than anybody else would have been, anyway. They were burdened with sashweights and bags of birdshot, and their faces were masked, so that no one, seeing a free and graceful gesture or a pretty face, would feel like something the cat drug in. George was toying with the vague notion that maybe dancers shouldn't be handicapped. But he didn't get very far with it before another noise in his ear radio scattered his thoughts.
George winced. So did two out of the eight ballerinas.

Yeah, but because they've said it about the Boomers, the Gen x-ers, and now the Net generation, they sound like a broken record.
Of course, it shouldn't be surprising that conservatives complain about change, now should it?
Either way, this is one of the worst cases of helicopter parenting I've ever heard of.
