Agree mate, live and let live....due to pressure groups now though were getting schools allowing 6 year old boys to wear dresses, I didn't know what day it was when I was 6 let alone anything else. The lefty brigade jump on the people who object and make them out to be phobic. The way things are there's gonna be a lot of confused kids growing up. The important point for me though is the pressure groups objecting are not interested in the real people who've lived with it for years they don't represent them at all, only their own agenda. It's bonkers. Did you see the story about the Nymphs painting being taken down in the Manchester Art Gallery? Ridiculous. Theresa May banging on about women's rights yesterday in the Commons why doesn't she go over to Syria, Iraq, Libya and talk to some women there who've had their families murdered and houses bombed, cause she supported all that violence. A fat lot of good she's done for women's right. Peterson said he would refuse to call someone ze or whatever it was and I don't blame him.
That progressive agenda has made today's millennials, by and large, the shiftless, entitled brats they are. They're the product of an overprotective, bubble-wrapping train of thought that tells them they're all special, don't need to be accountable for their actions (because mummy and daddy will take care of everything) and can't fail. Then when real life comes up and hits them full in the face, they're not equipped to do anything about it except whine and stamp their feet. My late wife once worked with a friend who had a head-hunting firm, and the salary demands these kids made fresh out of school would make your head spin. "I want it all and I want it now; to hell with working for 30 years for it."
I'm 55, by the way, but I can still remember times in elementary school when other kids had to repeat an entire year because of their grades. Not today -- can't risk harming the little darlings' self-esteem. And what has that produced? A generation of functional illiterates. Case in point: My mother used to be an assistant professor of history at the local university. As I was a journalist (writer and copy editor) for 33 years, she thought I'd get a kick out of reading some of the papers written by her fourth-year students. I was appalled at how bad the grammar and use of proper punctuation was (and their laptops' spell-checker function obviously couldn't discern the proper use of their, there and they're; it's and its; and your and you're -- something that's sadly prevalent on here as well).
Winning and losing used to be things that taught you how to progress, to persevere. Not any more. Now everyone gets a participation trophy.
