@Little Boots no it wouldn't. How would that even connect to what I'm talking about

@ManAnimal which is why you drill basic discipline at a young age.

and you aren't ALLOWED to discipline those types anymore

THAT doesn't do it, kid

Also, 'bothering to get a job' is a rich pretention to hold when the university system is the thing gatekeeping the ability of students to find jobs.

i don't care HOW early you discipline a future Marine or Seal

he is ALWAYS gonna be hard headed

@UnfilteredGarbage I actually have a job and I’m going to university myself.

@LittleGiantJ that's nice. We're talking about the country as a whole, not you

u have two parents, boots?

I simply settle for a lower-tier job for now just so I can have money while I go help my family like someone with at least some inking of responsibility.

Your inability to talk about anything beyond your anecdotal experiences is very telling

I’ve had a far worse life than most of these pretentious children out there have had.

>I wageslave so I can pay my university's troll toll before I can have an actual sustainable career and social role
That's nice sweety

lol; as if they are ALL pertentious

and you had the WORST posssible

Trust me, from my experience, a lot of them are pretentious.

not what i said

yes, alot are; no, most are not

I would guess your dad wasn't around much

No, my dad committed suicide.

and your sense of responsibility and duty centers around your mom

thus.. dead on

Rather, it was my mother and grandparents who helped raise me.

I never went to daycare.

i have a distain for women like your mother then.....

My father committed suicide because he was suffering from lung disease that would have forced him to live with an oxygen tank for the rest of his life.

My mother helped raise me and my older brother throughout most of our lives along with my grandparents.

And your mother failed to give him a reason to live despite that difficulty per her duty.....

It isn’t her fault my father did that.

In situations like this, a son is a mirror of the expectations of the mother of her husband

Let me give you an alternative perspective:
I went to arguably the best public school in my state. I had top percentile test scores and a clean behavioral record.
I left highschool and applied to a well-regarded LibArts university in my state. I wasn't given the opportunity for economic aid because I wasn't black, and my opportunities for scholarships were withheld from me because of a (((clerical error))) on the school's part.
I took out a private loan to pay for my schooling. I was quoted the wrong number by the school staff for that loan, unknown to me at the time. I was made to repeat classes that were of lower quality than my highschool classes for that entire year because of the curriculum chosen for me by the school, and then unceremoniously cut from classes because the loan I had taken out in the amount quoted me by the school hadn't been enough.
I wasted an entire year of my life to live uncomfortably and learn nothing at my own expense. None of this was a parenting or behavioral issue, it was entirely a result of a maliciously-run post-secondary education system.

That’s on my father and my father alone.

and your sense of duty and responsibility despite being the CHILD and not the FATHER is indicative of a woman that TAKES without putting enough BACK to sustain the other

no, it is not 'on your father and your father alone'

Suicide is an individual choice.

another epic failure

on your mother's part

If your dad ain't got a dick then you got two sandwich ladies

Blaming my mother for my father’s suicide is rather narrow-sighted.

it's how you got here; and how it will continue to get worse
