What is wrong with people today?

This week I started looking at a few things in retrospect. One of these was some iconic photos that had been colorized. The one that commands the most attention from me is the sailor kissing the nurse in Times Square at the end of World War II.

This iconic photo has served as a symbol of the American perspective that the war as over. The man has never been identified, but the nurse has. Since I like the old B&W photos, I was a little torn to see it colorized, but hey, it did look cool. I started reading the comments thinking it would be about how cool it looked, or how it was wrong to color it.

What I read was nothing of the sort.most of the comments were negative all right, but about how the sailor was accosting and nearly raping the woman. They went on about how wrong it was to have this image saying it was OK to do this in public. "Screech!" Put on the brakes and hold on a minute there fucktards! This is not a crime caught in the act, this is the feeling of a nation who had been at war, in THE toughest conflict they had EVER seen, and their feeling of relief that it was finally OVER! 

The comments show what a nation of pussies we have become. Everyone is so "sue-happy" that NOTHING is sacred any more. People don't think like they used to and that seems to be the problem. When we were acting up, even the neighbor would get onto us. If we were lucky, he wouldn't call our parents and tell them, thus we would have abetting waiting when we got home.  Today, the kids would yell back at the neighbor, when he called the parents, he would most likely be told to mind his own business. 

You know progress isn't always progressive. Sometimes it's destructive. I am beginning to think our progressiveness is not worth it. Last night I watched Grownups 2 with my family. Ok, while I'm not usually a fan of part 2 through whatever, as it shows the lack of imagination of Hollywood, it did address the issue. Spoiler Alert!,,,, the local college punks portray exactly what our society has become, a group of spoiled, snot-nosed punks who have no respect for history or anyone outside their group of associates. They deserved to get their asses kicked by the " smelly old geezers".

Even today I read there is a group trying to ban residents burning wood to heat their homes becaus of air pollution? Well let's ban Smoking! That is more harmful air pollution than burning wood to heat a home. It is more offensive to me to be inside somewhere having some jerk wad blowing his Marlboro in my face, than smelling a distant fire on a winter night. When you say something to king ash, he threatens to sue you or hit you. That is usually till I stand up and tell him I'll shove his pack up his ass, I usually get an apology as he looks up at me then, but he still smokes indoors. Go shoot yourself in the head ass-wipe!

I notice the next several posts I have lined up are all about the same thing. More to come soon.
