Don't blame the Internet for problems that people create for themselves. IIRC, the internet was created so that scientists from around the world could interact with each other. Looks what it's turned into.
My take is that on every piece of technology or any kind of development, there will be good intentions at first and then it ends with greedy people using that technology/development to make money.
An example of this are new refrigerators that have a little screen where you can sign onto facebook/twitter. Seriously, people intend on tweeting from their fucking fridge. Instead of using that internet convenience on their fridge to maybe find some recipes or something relevant to food/cooking, people are going to tweet, or just use it once and never touch it (essentially just overpaying for a fridge)
Parenting is a big part if not THE biggest part in childhood development. Every time you hear someone talk about "disciplining their kids" most people just assume that means beating the shit out of them. While that is true to a certain extent, there are other ways parents can discipline their kids. I am very grateful that my parents straight up whooped my ass as a child.
There are countless factors as to why society sucks donkey balls right now, but I'll list what I think are the most important (in no particular order)
- Discipline your kids, beat their asses if you have to. This requires being on the same page with your spouse about what discipline is, where you can be lenient, where you should be strict etc etc
-Teach your kids that America (I assume everywhere else too) is all about Capitalism. Someone is always trying to sell you something. This includes putting an idea in your head so later, you will go out and by something.
-Guide your kids so that they understand the importance of developing a good, moral conscience. There are many gray areas in life, rarely are things easy to distinguish from being right or wrong. Teach them to make good decisions that they can be proud of.
This is all I can think of right now, I am still very aggravated because someone stole my dads phone while he was working his ass off at our Beer store.
I am glad this thread exists. My own friends are too..."distracted" with alcohol and trying to fuck dumb girls ( they are in college, it's the hip thing to do right now) that they completely ignore discussions that require more than 3 brain cells to function at the same time.
Sorry for the long post guys
