31. I don't think past gens were "ideal"
but they sure as heck were not so lazy or entitled. I am grateful to my parents for instilling a strong work ethic, honesty and good morals in my sister and I. They have served us well. Not to mention, manners. I can't believe the poor manners of the majority of my students. They take everything that is done for them as their just due just for breathing.

You are 100% correct about the bad influence of the media. To fix this, we have to fix the media. I hope to see things get re-regulated so a handful of people with agenda that suits them but not the general public cannot decide what millions of Americans see.
