The Pussification of Society
I was listening to a local talk radio station Sunday night, and the host was talking about how we aren't allowed to lose in today's society. What he meant by "lose" is that society tells us that we have to succeed at everything that we do, and that we can't make mistakes. Of course, this was a conservative telling the Democrats to stop their bitching, but he is right. Democrats are, in general, being sore losers. He said that when he was a kid, he lost games to his parents, he knew who the stupid kid was in class, he made mistakes, but wasn't worried about it that much. Back then, not everybody had to go to college in order for everybody to think that they were successful. It's not okay anymore to not be smart. Everybody has something unique about them that they can contribute to society, and most of them don't require a certificate from a college. As long as they have basic education, and contribute to society, then they shouldn't be criticized for not being smart enough to make it through college. We need atheletes, street sweepers, truck drivers, and what have you (not saying that people of those professions aren't smart). We need to toughen up a bit and be a bit more open.
