Just thinking recently of the political parties , both Canadian and American, even the European countries lately , and the behaviour displayed by members of the losing side. And I gotta wonder what the hell is going on with them. Seems the worst are the Gen Z group , but the millennials sometimes seem as bad. Watching the demonstrations makes you wonder if some of these people have slipped a bit off the tracks, absolutely ridiculous behaviour and such a lack of respect for any office or official, just a seeming expectation that whatever their goal or agenda is or was , they just cannot accept that their team could have lost. And if that happens, then anything they do is justified, they can block traffic, burn stuff , riot, destroy property, anything , cause they're pissed off. The Democrats in the States are a blatant example of this, the whole damn party should be embarrassed.
My take, what a bunch of entitled , self centered , pussies we've produced. This whole cant spank , can't say no , can't raise your voice, don't keep score during games so no one loses, nobody fails, everybody gets a ribbon , bull$hit , has totally caused this crap . And unfortunately it's a train that's on a runaway, gonna be tough to change.
Rant over .

Great post! I’m glad I don’t watch tv anymore. I get those stupid news updates on my I phone and there all crap, wish I can turn the Washington post off and CNN, there all about Democrats and totally against the republicans in any way even if they did something right they would find a way to twist it to make it look bad. The media is causing a lot of this crap lately.

Just imagine what this all looks like when it all backfired one day...tough love has got to come back, touchy-feely has its place but this could be terrible if it hits the fan I a big way!

I wish that there was some good news stories out there, it’s so clouded over with political views that it’s hard to see what the real truth is. Maybe I’ll start a channel on the “wins” that have a positive effect on society and us...might sink but could be uplifting too!

Even simple wins for society like the keys to a new house or a job promotion, a family reunited with their lost dog, maybe even a bucket list item knocked off. I should get lilduke and a few other people from different industry and areas in on this and maybe it could be something...maybe not

I've been saying that for a few years now Jamie. A positive twist on the news would be a great thing. Imigration, employment, energy, justice, health, and education could be big winners along with many more. Im sure people would follow it and get behind it rather than all the negativity there is on the so called news of today.

Great post..

It also seem’s negativity, death and destruction, makes the news sell..

A positive outlook, showing happy situations would be a lot better.

Working in emergency services I get asked all the time “ What Happened”
