Are we really evolved? Are we moving forward as a species, or better yet, as a society (meaning the USA)? I remember hearing stories of how when my dad was in HS in the 1970's kids would have their rifle in their gun rack on a Friday afternoon because they didn't have time to run home after school and pack for a weekend hunting trip. Today, that would evoke a SWAT response, the nearby surrounding schools within 5mi would be on lockdown and Michael Moore would be creaming his pants. Is that forward evolution? Again, using my father as an example, back when 3.2% beer was legal for 18+, when he was 16 years old and going out and rescuing hikers and climbers with Alpine Rescue Team. These days? I wouldn't trust most 16 year olds to make it through an AED training course successfully. We no longer allow kids to take out their frustrations on each other at 3 o'clock at the flagpole, we no longer instill a respect for life in our kids, so instead, they cope by going on a murder rampage. We've raised a generation of children that cannot fathom what it would be like to be denied something, be it their Facebook, or XBox, or smartphone with unlimited plans and streaming video service. Shoot, my friend's 15-year old daughter just lost interest with a boy at school because he doesn't do anything... he doesn't hunt, fish, build things, no hobbies, nothing, he just "hangs out" with his friends. And this is the new norm. I cannot tell you what kids are into these days with all of the apathy and social media culture. Kids are more spoiled, entitled and bratty than they've ever been. And worse of all, no one is responsible for anything anymore, especially the parents! They might have it backwards, many in modern society have no business being around guns, they can't be responsible to treat them how people like those of us on here do, with respect, responsibility, and accountability. People who shoot up schools, movie theaters, college campuses, etc are no longer responsible for their actions, it's always something else, some excuse, some scapegoat, it's never the person that's evil, it's always the tool, the video game, the musician, the movie, the comic book character. /rant
