@esha_s_room @miisweets_@wolfbelove Just because you use big words doesn’t show intelligence lol two things can be true without trying to make a comparison. Cat calling and harassment is wrong , just as their action in the video is. Nobody wants to see that, nor should they have to in public. Go home.
WATCH: For the first time, all 27 billboards of Times Square went dark in NYC, and then lit up with the story of the Birth of Christ

Baby Boomer Generation explains how healthcare used to be in America
“People asked, well, how did baby boomers afford to have children back in the 1960s and early 70s if there was no health insurance? Other than employer health insurance, there was no health insurance. So when I had my first child in 1969, it cost total of $300. That was everything.
— There was no health insurance. You just paid cash. So the doctors couldn't charge very much because there were no health insurance companies to pay for it”
As a former middle school teacher and current high school teacher, I am very afraid of the current state of education. The kids are so far behind in every subject, even those kids that were once considered “gifted” struggle with writing coherent sentences. It is not looking good.
@AdamCrigler Their culture operates on shame, rather than guilt. The West operates on guilt. It’s why people are made to feel guilty for their actions. Eastern cultures operate on shame. They don’t want to bring shame on themselves or their family. Stealing would cause shame.
“An asthma drug prescribed to millions of children has been found to cause suicidal thoughts, hallucinations and other psychiatric conditions.
Montelukast, sold under the brand name Singulair, attaches to cells in the brain that control mood, decision making, attention, impulse control and sleep.
There have been 82 suicides linked to the drug that have been reported to the FDA's adverse event tracker since 1998 and the drug has been linked to depression, anxiety, agitation, nightmares and 'full psychosis'.”
This is one of the consequences of the “trophies-for-everyone” upbringing of the early 21st century.
Basically, children were shielded from processing emotionally challenging experiences. My theory is that their parents were the first generation that en masse went to therapy, and learned that much of their negative feelings about themselves were due to how their parents treated them. Most of these parents did the work and recovered from that experience. However, they also vowed to ensure that their own children would not be on a couch in 20 years, having to recover from these parents themselves.
And so, these parents bubble-wrapped their kids’ feelings. They didn’t want them to experience defeat (hence trophies for everyone, and not just the winners). They eliminated the experience of a kid not being a guest and not the focus at a birthday party (by making sure the departing gift bags everyone got were full of items of greater value than the present they themselves brought). They eliminated the experience of the kids working out conflicts themselves (by the teachers at the schools insisting that the kids come to them immediately when a conflict with another kid arose). They eliminated the kid experiencing the poor results of not having done the class assignments (by parents calling teachers on the kids’ behalf to get a better grade (including college, btw)).
All to say, this was child abuse. These parents handicapped these kids by not letting them process defeat, disappointment, being left out, frustration, etc as children, so they could build those coping skills. And so, now you have a whole batch of adults processing all that for the very first time, with no practice, and no muscles in those areas. Truly handicapped.
Hopefully, these now-adults will learn these lessons on their own, but that takes guts. Now you know why this batch of kids created the Victim Olympics for their present-day adult selves.
