I think the biggest problem is... that we teach them to be this way as adults...
If you saw a grown man crossing the parking lot at WalMart with an elephant tail on his ass... wiggling it... You would point and laugh.
Some rednecks say racist things about blacks in front of their kids... then their kid goes to school and makes fun of blacks.
Some parents will talk about an obese woman at a restaurant.. or crossing the street.. then their kid thinks it's okay to make fun of obese people..
Some parent makes fun of gay people.. or tells their kid, 'It's not okay to be a fag' or something equally not cool.. Then the kid finds out that being gay is bad...
Then the children adopt those "hates" and push them on the kids...
I see it when I go to the movies.... or to a restaurant... We go to a high class steak house here with usually an hour to 2 hour weight... I'm a big girl. I dress well. Smell great. Hair's fixed...
And sometimes I'll go sit on the big long bench to wait... and kids will get up... not wanting to be next to the fat person...
In this same restaurant... I've seen parents giggle WITH their kids at the gay waiter after he leaves.
I was in WMT checking out the other day... Hubby had his Mom's groceries in his basket.. and I had my groceries in mine... and I slid in behind him just as these three females were pulling into line... and I hear, "Fat bitch can't wait to get home to eat..." "Well what do you expect from someone dressed like that?" (We'd been planting all day.. I had on wind pants, crocs, and a t-shirt)
I turn around.. and say, "Someone needs to teach you manners..."
and notice it was a MOM and her two teenage daughters...
Kids are getting worse because parents are getting worse.
