I don't think I was clear enough. My gripe is with the attitude I see among many boys today. I don't know what the cause is, though some of you suggest entitlement issues or rebelling. But is the vehement hatred I see spewed all over some message boards really just this generation's form of rebelling? It's sick and disturbing. I also don't think young men feel entitled... but they seem to say to the rest of the world: "Nobody deserves anything. Not love, not friendship, and certainly not my respect." There are a lot of other people who have entitlement issues of course, see Montel Williams for more on that... LOL.
I agree with Mixedmedia. Respectful and mature behavior isn't expected with boys. There was always a period of lapsed good behavior for that age group throughout time, but since when did they start allowing such atrocious behavior amongst themselves? The most bitter, spiteful, malicious behavior is considered humorous. I doubt any of us here doesn't know about this, though this website isn't anywhere near as bad as others. Maybe the trend has been occurring since the 70s or 80s. Degradation of women and minorities, disabled people, religion, just about anything that isn't white, suburban, and male is the norm. And they hate each other and won't stop at "just" insulting your dead parents and raping your little sister.
