[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 653903, member: 1550"] Cedar, wow. Do you live in California? Don't answer that, I was just thinking you had to. My experience with so many kids of all ages in the Midwest is that the kdis couldn't care less about anyone but themselves and their friends, that most are either racist themselves (remember, I have an Asian kid and two black kids) and that what happens overseas is not even something they know about. Of course, my kids are younger. Bart understands the world, but is very disinterested in most issues, unless they influence him, such as the unfair custody laws in our country that bias mothers or the tax laws that make him pay so much of his income. A hurricane in another country? He knows about it. He doesn't think about it. It is not like it is in other countries, I don't think. I am more apt to feel our younger people (perhaps younger than your kids) care little for much outside their own four walls. There are ALWAYS exceptions, but our country is not that giving or compassionate. Lucy's country, yes. Ours, I don't see the compassion. When I talk about caring about racism and stuff, I get a slew of hate about entitlements and I've honestly never heard more than the people on my politics MIRC channel who care about anyone overseas. And some churches too who give overseas. How many kids in the U.S. are like Lucy's kid? That's why I thought of California, although you have no obligation to verify it. That is the only state I know of where there is a sense of caring. One English woman I chat with on a political channel told me California is the closest that the U.S. has to Europe. Now it just could be the people I meet. But I am not feeling the kids having such caring hearts. Jumper has a good heart, but she is one individual and it only applies to people she knows. She is on the gay rights bandwagon because of people she knows and likes. She loves and wants to rescue every animal. But she has little interest about anything that happens overseas. I think she is more typical. Again, though, I could be wrong.Maybe most kids DO care. They certainly care more than the old farts in our country do ;) I personally, and again I could be wrong, do not think our adult kids are taking drugs because they are so worried about racism, sexism, and terrorism. I think they are just entitled and irresponsible. Again though JMO. [/QUOTE]
