Back when my father was a kid, he didn't have any toys. Not one. Zero. Most parents back then had absolutely no concept of giving a kid a toy.
But nowadays, if your four year old son doesn't have a closet full of Elmo dolls and Nintendo Wii games, it's considered child abuse. If he wants macaroni and you made him a sandwich, you're supposed to head on down to Italy and get him what he wants from Chef Boyardee himself. And by the time you get back, he probably won't be hungry anymore. And then ten minutes later, he'll ask you for some tacos--and you'll be obligated to cross the border to get him the right hot sauce.
Do parent actually consider that a good idea? Is it a good idea to give a child everything he wants the second he asks for it? What the hell is wrong with a sandwich? Giving your kid one doesn't make you a bad parent. It doesn't make you an uncaring parent. It doesn't tell your kid you don't care. There are half a million ways to let a child know you care. Throwing away sandwiches isn't one of them.
Kids need to build character. They need to become self-reliant.
We should drop all of our kids off in Cambodia and let them find their way back home. An experience like that is just what every kid needs. Instead of spending our tax money on extra teachers and desks, we should buy them one way tickets to Cambodia.
That's part of getting an education. Listening to some teacher brainwash you with liberal nonsense is something else altogether. A Harvard degree is a sign that you've been brainwashed by liberals. If you don't believe me, just look at Harvard graduate Matt Damon. He's a liberal piece of garbage.
Back when Nixon was president, Harvard graduates weren't like Matt Damon. People like Matt Damon were tortured every day.
And kids weren't spoiled. If they wanted something, they had to earn it. By mining for coal or building Buicks. They worked for everything. Even their right to exist.
And they weren't brainwashed by the liberal media. Elmo and Big Bird were prisoners of war. On Saturday mornings, kids watched Yosemite Sam shooting Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote hunting the Road Runner. And back then, Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner used to die in every episode.
