Default Re: Are we raising a culture of losers? (no pictures)

I'm not gonna pass judgement as I have no children (not for the lack of trying) or parents (I was orphaned at eight). I was raised by an aunt who wasn't the touchy-feely mommy type; she was more of an administratrix. I was cooking for myself as soon as I could reach the stove top and doing my own laundry when I could reach the controls. I had to be on my own when I turned 18 (joined the Navy), and when I was discharged, the home I grew-up in had been sold, so I lived in the woods. If not for all this, I would have been a much different person; a much lesser person.
