This was just disgusting.
A listing of tweets from people complaining about what they got and didn’t get for Christmas. Warning: Adult language ahead in addition to the rotten attitude. Definitely NSFW.
No, Andrew, you aren’t the only one who didn’t an iPhone. I didn’t get one, either. And, it’s an iPhone, Andrew, not and iPhone. No, Lydia, I didn’t get an iPad, either.
Sad thing here is these are all young adults. Not eight year olds. Acting the spoiled brats who believe they are entitled to the fruits of the hard work of others, namely the Occutards.
Shame on the one who said: “No iphone i hate my dad (sic).” Same with the one who sneered: “No iphone, hate my dad 8 months to get it f*king (c-word).” Same with the rest of those who expressed similar sentiment.
Why? You get to see your dad and he knows who you are, even though he didn’t buy you your version of the Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. Me? My father is alive, I see him on a regular basis but he no longer knows who I am. You see, he developed senile dementia at least three years ago and has lost the ability to remember people. Coupled with being legally blind from macular degeneration which has long prevented his ability to see and recognize faces, I am a total stranger to him. What I wouldn’t give to spend time with the man who knew me as his son. I wouldn’t want anything but just to have him back even for a short period of time.
And Sean Mcmasters thinks his parents are the worst parents in the world — punctuated with a string of F-bombs (or as Ralphie called it “the word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the “F-dash-dash-dash” word!) — because they didn’t buy the poor widdow baby an iPhone.
Want to see really bad parenting? Turn on the news or pick up a newspaper and read about the children abused, neglected, abandoned, left to raise themselves with the help of the TV and the festering, fetid sewer known as the popular culture. Adults who make sure they have their regular doses of McDonald’s, cigarettes and booze while the kids live in squalor. I can go on but for brevity’s sake I won’t.
Quite possibly worse is this: a woman in Great Britain whose 13-year-old daughter wrote a letter to Santa Claus threatening to kill him and his reindeer if she didn’t get everything she wanted for Christmas.
Demanding Mekeeda Austin, 13, warned Father Christmas that he will be ‘killed’ if he fails to deliver at least two of her long list of lavish gifts.
She even threatened to ‘hunt down’ Santa’s reindeer and ‘cook them and serve their meat to homeless people on Xmas day’ if she doesn’t get her way.
Her mother Tracey Austin, 40, was dumbstruck when she found the demanding note in her daughter’s school bag.
In the letter Mekeeda, from Brickhill, Bedford, demands a Blackberry, a designer Laura Knitted 33 Jumper, money, Converse trainers and sunglasses.
As well as gifts Mekeeda also demands Father Christmas bring her ‘the real’ Justin Bieber and teenage singer Austin Mahone.
Naturally, no mention of Dad in the article so we must presume he is no longer in the picture. We’ll presume also that since she is a stay-at-home mom — not doing much parenting — both are wards of the state, living off the nearly bankrupt social welfare system in Great Britain.
This mentality should grab people’s attention:
“I was angry because I thought I wasn’t going to get all the presents I wanted this year. Even though my mum found the note I still think I will get most of the things I want.
‘I don’t see any problem with the letter, I want all of these things and I don’t see why I shouldn’t get them.”
She sees no problem with writing a letter to someone who doesn’t exist threatening to kill that non-existent person plus kill animals for no reason. Plus, at 13, she feels she is entitled to have those things because she wants them.
See what socialism creates? An entitlement mentality in which people believe they are owed something to be paid for by others. It’s the horrible offspring of the culture of dependency and the culture of inflated self-esteem. You can find that in the “I deserve” attitude instilled in the wards of the state in gummint-run skoolz and the “Everybody’s special and unique” and “No one can fail at anything.” Trophies, awards and A’s for everyone!
Then there’s Mom:
And stay-at-home mother Tracey says she will endeavour to deliver all the presents, even though she suspects Mekeeda will lose the Blackberry.
“She said: ‘I would fly over Austin Mahone and Justin Bieber, but I guess they will be busy with their own families on Xmas day.
“She loses phones constantly, so I know the Blackberry won’t be in her possession for long, but she will be furious if she doesn’t get one.
“So I’ll probably be getting her a phone and some money. She is a lovely girl but can be very demanding.”
Why is she demanding? Because Mom has no doubt given in to the brat’s demands at every turn and as such, she will never be satisfied. I’m reminded of the classic scene from Caddyshack, in which Judge Smails’s spoiled grandson, coming off the front nine, says: “I want a hamburger, no a cheeseburger. I want a hotdog. I want a milkshake. I want potato chips–” The judge cuts him, saying: “You’ll get nothing and like it.” Classic parenting moment.
Kate The Not-So-Old Broad weighs in (thanks for the link back!):
How the hell did we allow it to get so bad? So what if you got a black iPhone instead of the white one. Be damn grateful you got anything! Be grateful you have parents you care enough to let you live after behaving in such a infantile manner. Be EXTREMELY grateful you have a roof over your head, clothes to wear, and food to eat! Little bastards, one and all! Never in all my life have I ever seen such useless beings! And THIS is the future of the world? We don’t deserve to have a future after raising such pathetic creatures. We deserve the Occupy Wall Street mentality because WE created it!
We did create that mentality, by telling our little darlings that they were the most special, talented, unique people ever born, removing all sense of failure and hurt from their lives and tending to their every whim. Combine it with the self-esteem driven and child-centered curriculum of the gummint-run skoolz and a popular culture reinforcing the “I deserve” approach and it’s a recipe for what we see above.
Most spoiled, selfish generation ever? Easy. Baby boomers. It was all about them. Still is. Me first, always and forever. Any wonder each successive generation has reflected the “society owes me” attitude?
