Spot on. Scenario ten: Jeff goes to college
1970: Jeff studies hard, parties occasionally, graduates and goes on to have a successful life. He lives in a nice house and drives a BMW.
2015: Jeff spends the entire four years ranting about college being to expensive, protesting and screwing off, all while complaining that kids can't get jobs after college. He takes his english major and works at McDonalds. At 53, he decides to move out of his parent's basement.

I take issue with Scenario 4
- Dad wouldn't be arrested for yelling at son
- Billy wouldn't be removed from the home unless there was evidence that more abuse was actually taking place (ie. Billy is not safe at home) AND if dad wasn't willing to make some changes
- if Billy's sister was actually abused and their dad is still abusing Billy, he might get charged, but still probably wouldn't go to jail. He may be asked to leave the home or kids might go live with relatives or friends. If those aren't options, only then would foster care be looked at
(Sorry. As a social worker I get pissed off when people automatically assume our first reaction is to apprehend kids and put them in foster care. We don't or at least around here we don't)

Here's a 60's scenario
1960's - vocal minority of college kids are upset about Vietnam war. A legitimate issue.
2015 - 98% of the population are pussy kids. They're upset about Taiwanese orphans working in sweat shops; when in reality, if it weren't for sweat shops, they'd probably be doing something much shittier. If you try to argue this with them, they call you ignorant, blast you on tumblr and get you blackballed from ever getting a job.

Scenario: Joe has some drinks with his friends and walks home.
1975: Cops ask him some questions, before giving him a lift to his house. Joe's parents lecture him for a little when he wakes up the next day.
2015: Cops arrest Joe, send multiple police cars to his friends house. Joe and his friends are all charged with multiple misdemeanors and sent to rehab. As a result none of them can find a job.

Steve uses his cellphone during class
1970: Dude! What the hell is that? Is it from the future?
2015: We'll be confiscating that, obtaining your passwords for facebook and instagram and reporting all your activity to the police or relevant authorities.

by the time i graduated last year, my school's policy changed and all of my teachers got so relaxed about phone use. the teachers were told to allow cell phone use for educational purposes (looking up a definition, using the calculator). if you were just texting or playing some games, most of em would just tell you to put it away. but if i finished with my work i could fuck around on my phone all i wanted. the times are a changin'.

I graduated in 2010 and teachers were generally chill about it. They'd take it if they felt like being dicks. Although smart phones were less common then than now, and they're way better now. Plenty of people didn't have them then, but now I feel like every kid in grade five has one.

Well if someone brings a gun to my school, I would want them to take as much precaution as possible. I was in school during a shooting and now my school has crazy security because of it. If someone had a shotgun in their car I would like them to go about it as a threat.

what if someone is trained in martial arts to the black belt degree? Should they be considered a threat??
or maybe that kid who hunts and is weird who happens to have a shotgun ends up saving the day. I agree though that i hope whomever has a firearm knows proper precaution, just like I hope everyone behind the steering wheel knows how to drive well, unfortunately that doesnt always happen

Wait, so if kids in the 70s and kids now do all the same things, but the reaction changes, doesnt that mean anyone 25+ is a douche...
I don't know where you lived but in 1970 if you came in the New York City with a shotgun on your truck you'd be arrested immediately.
also my dad was born in the 1950's and had huriffic ADD and constantly got in trouble for not being able to sit still Or do work.
On the bright side though, the economy was much better and everyone drove sweet fucking cars.

So funny. We moved around a lot so rules kind of changed depending on whether we were in a more urban area or rural. I was actually allowed to hitch hike as a kid. No way my folks would have let me do that in Washington D.C., but they were cool with it in West Virginia. West Virginia still had corporal punishment in schools, meaning you got paddled if you fucked up. Teachers all had their own homemade paddles and they made you sign them if you got paddled. If you even mentioned corporal punishment now, they would quarantine the entire state, and put all the children in foster homes.
Is it just me or is there an inverse relationship between fucked up shit happening in society and societies attempts to prevent people from doing fucked up shit? It's like what we learned as kids. The more adults told us not to do things, the more we desperately wanted to do them.

Or... 2015: Jack messages Jessica on facebook. They start to like each other. They meet up at a local park. Jack goes to park. 40 year old man shows up. Says he'll take him to Jessica. Jack gets in truck. Jack gets his butt peed in againg his will by Big Man Jon. Jessica does not exist. Years of free school counseling are paid by taxpayers like you.

As a product of corporal punishment, corporal punishment is the bomb digity.
I remember once my dad gave us the option to be grounded or get spanks, easiest decision of my life.
(before you -K the crap out of this, I realize that a lot of people really suck at discipline, child abuse is a real thing and a lot of parents use corporal punishment in a really stupid way, like anything in life don't be stupid)

We forgot how much school is better now than before.
Jimmy is gay.
1975: He would get beat up every day by his peers, harassed by teachers and staff and murdered before 20. Only his parents attended the funeral.
2015: Nothing, Jimmy is treated equally and he lives a long fulfilled life.
Chris has a question that the teacher cannot answer.
1975: Teacher makes up bullshit reason, then punishes students for contradicting her. Lies get accepted as fact and everyone get a little dumber
2015: Teacher pulls up Google and makes a web search. They find the correct answer and everyone learns something.
Jessy fails a grade.
1975: dad comes out with the belt for not studying harder.
2015: Jessy's parents hire a tutor and get a batch of educational videos, software and activities that are interesting and proven to help. Jessy masters the subject and discovers a passion in science.

more like: jessy fails a grade
1970 she gets held back and learns to put in work to be successful
2015 she gets pushed ahead because of no child left behind and eventually graduates 12th grade with less knowledge than a 6th grader and ends up working at mcdonalds

first one is so true. I understand that gun control is a big deal and school shootings should be prevented in any way possible, but if someone is going to shoot up a school, they don't give a single fuck if its a "no gun zone" or that there is a "zero tolerance policy". That said, kids who make mistakes by accidentally leaving something in their car or something like that should not be punished unless they are actually planning to shoot up the school. For example, my friend was suspended his senior year for 2 weeks because he accidentally left an unloaded, orange tipped, clear plastic airsoft gun in the backseat of his car. It fucking said "zombie exterminator" or something like that on the side. It was monday, and he had been messing around with it that weekend and forgot it was there. He'd never been in trouble before and suddenly was facing a huge blotch on his permanent record just as he was applying for college. How fucked is that?
