The Blue Board

lol. Nah, it is because most of the people now a days are LAZY. Do not want to take time to work.

I don't think that my dad is a bad parent, and he had a dump truck drop an entire mound of alabama clay in our yard and told me to chovel it around the front yard and then spread it with a rake. That taught me some good values.

Because their PARENTS didn't teach them too.

Some people take their lawns really f'ing serious. If you care that much about it what do you think they'd prefer: a professional lawn care service or some pimply 14 year old?

Don't blame the younger generation for the failures of the older generation.

If the older generation didn't suck as parents, maybe there wouldn't be as many lazy kids.

I didnt know being fat made you lazy. That's quite the assumption.

I find it quite interesting that even light of that,the states that could be considered the most "moral" weren't the "laziest".

So its the older generations fault the younger generation is too lazy to go out and do things? Have you ever thought that it could be the younger generations fault for not taking responsibility themselves???? So what if your parent doesn't teach you everything, go and ask how to do it!

In what way does being obese not correlate(Sp?) to being lazy?

You are too lazy to watch what you eat.
to lazy to go and find better food.
To lazy to exercise/

I am not pinning laziness on one area of the country, it is absolutely obvious through that chart people are more lazy now.

Has way more to do with what we eat than activity levels. Happens to be the focus of my doctoral dissertation. I think kids are lazy as crap too, but there is no evidence to suggest on a macro level that it is any different than it has ever been. Shoot, Eisenhower thought kids were so lazy 60+yrs ago that he made increasing activity levels in kids one of the primary focuses of his entire presidency.

Yeah it's realllllllly bad these days. I work in a pediatrician's office, and the things parents let their children get away with are atrocious. I want to spank their kids FOR them.

You teach them yourself through trial and error and living a life probably.

No, I am 20.

After seeing that, i can now safely say that we are truly doomed, NO RESPONSIBILITY is taken by the modern generation. Just because someone crapped in your hand doesn't mean you have to hold it.

Technological advances led to all this laziness

If you have no children, then you have no idea what it is like.

My daughter is ten months old and already learning from me (as a PARENT) how to act and behave.

If I don't teach her, how is the world is she suppose to learn anything? Magic 8 ball?

The older generation tried to take shortcuts in their parenting, and now that they have screwed-up children, they want to put the blame on everyone but their selves. That is NOT taking responsibility for their actions, and it is showing in their children.

A kid eats what they are given by their parents, they don't exactly make it their selves now do they?
