| Big Jim & Jerry's girly boy problem----one old man's opinion ;) |
I expect it has more to do with being young and inexperienced, their mostly just spoiled. Probably came from upper middle class family's and were kind of geeky-----Never required to work as kids, the sponged off their parents until they were 30 something---They didn't learn the old values because of being post baby boomer's Their parents were probably white collar types and had afluenza and keeping up with the Jones complexes---Their children appearing to be weak or even gay is the result of that. If Big Jim is actually a pole smoking Queer thats not his fault---people like that are born that way, they can't help it--- Its like a mental/medical problem---their brains are different, a 12 step program or any other intervention rarely works like it does for Alcoholics problems (which is also a mental/medical problem as I've been told) I'm from the end of the Great Depression era....Our rasing was harsher----you would probably go to jail now days for raising kids like we were raised but it was done with love---People who survived the Great Depression although good people were tighter with money and belongings, they didn't spoil kids. As soon as you could walk you did family chores, no allowance....screw up and you got a hiding! The first few years I worked off the farm I made 25 cents a hour and my Ma and Pa took that money every payday-----Survival of the family came first with them. Kill a kid? Hell just have another one. ;) Everything was black and white, no gray areas. Join the military to escape? No difference there. Boot camp in fact all training and duty was harsher. Dr. Spock and the baby boomer generation didn't come along till after the last great war. The way I was raised and trained later by the military makes me appear outright mean to modern youngsters, I |
