[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 361752, member: 135"] Well, I agree that there is a huge sense of entitlement among people out there right now but I'm not sure it's just young people who are like that. I notice a lot of older people (I'm old myself) who feel the same way. It seems like we are all (OK, not all, but many) spoiled rotten in this country and we have lost the work ethic and the idea of not having everything you want as soon as you want it and everything the way you want it. Even those of us who are scraping by are much better off than a large percentage of people in the world and once we have some, we seem to want more. We want to have every thing without working for it; if work interferes with our wants, we blame the work instead of being thankful we have jobs and waiting. I thought maybe the current economic problems would help cure us but I don't see too much change. I don't mean to imply that EVERYBODY is like that, but there are sure a lot of people out there who want to collect a paycheck without doing anything and without having their personal lives disrupted by a little thing called going to work and being responsible.
