kiltedcowboy Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 It is the breakdown of the family, and all that crap coming out of Hollywood that glorifies this gangsta mentality. I have two 19 year old sons who I could not be more proud of. It took a lot of work and time to raise them. Twelve years going through the Boy Scout program with them as a leader, dragging them to church on Sundays, showing them how to treat their mom and all women with respect. That is how most dads used to do it, but it seems to be a dying art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 That is how most dads used to do it, but it seems to be a dying art. My dad passed the same thing along to me, it will not be dead until I am. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planeflyer21 Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 The girls need to learn the respect also! Hold the door open for your elders (or to be polite), say "Excuse me," instead of barging through, speak loud enough to be heard, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
392heminut Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Well Kiltedcowboy, I gotta tell you, I raised 4 boys in just the manner you described. I have 3 I'm proud as hell of and one in the state prison! Why? His mother and I have never figured it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Z5V Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Sad state of affairs when punkass kids don't have the respect for a veteran that they should. Little fcukers don't understand that they might not even be on this planet in the first place if it wasn't for his actions. Or, they might have been speaking Japanese, German, etc. The Battle of Okinawa was heinous. Lots of 7th Infantry Division history with that one.
