The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I think this starts with too many children growing up with a sense of entitlement as well as hopelessness. They have always received a trophy, have learned that achievement doesn't really matter, that they are not accountable for their own decisions or actions, they have failed to learn how to accept disappointment, that they are helpless victims, the deck is stacked against them, and generally live with no pride, self esteem or hope. It is largely a consequence of broken homes, poverty, poor parenting, and poor education.
