Also, do we really need to have a national conversation about trophies for 8 year olds now? I'm still a little tired from the recent national conversation about lions in some other country. Maybe we just skip this one and all get high or something?

Personally, I am outraged at the outrage regarding participation trophies.

This country would be a lot better if more people got high.

Isn't getting a participation trophy a lot like getting a lousy job and whining about being a victim on a message board?

Fuck I'm old son, I only want things handed to me like health care a ss with minimal effort. And if you could explain that deep thinking philosophy to this dumb ass I'd appreciate it.

exactly - to some kids/parents, a "participation trophy" might really mean something.. to others, maybe not. Instead of demonizing something so trivial just to make yourself sound like some big tough guy, why not take time to understand what a particular meaning of the "participation trophy" might be to a certain kid or family.

His mom is making grilled cheese for dinner (sigh, again) but if you wait till mom and pop go to bed you definitely may be able to get away with sneeking a couple drinks. Don't keep him up too late though, he has to punch in (literally) at 8:00 a.m.

Blame someone else as techies doctors engineers PA's and pharmacists from that generation will do very well. Fuck it, I paid for my college and now I'm paying for my kids college. Know why? Cause I don't live in a McMansion, I didn't take trips around the world I drove a family van for 25 years, I started putting 200 bucks from each check away 31 years ago.
I'm average. Completely average. Didn't need to be more than that. Oh, and there are plenty of mother fuckers out there like me. Average homes, average life styles saved a lot worked plenty of 16 hour days.
There is still a sea of money out there. I'd advise any generation who put that poster out there to not live beyond your means. You can still have s great life by grinding and saving.

Fuck blaming other generations. Mine sure had some assholes, so what? Cry about it or do something about it.

That's what I feel about that poster.

Completely this. Life is what you make it.
