You could be right about that, I admit. Bill Gates did pretty well for himself, starting out about a quarter century after Kroc.
Be proud America and the west of what your education has done, it's not a means of learning anything, but a means to classify the populace like communist China! Education = oppertunity? LOL, education/or lack of it = LIMITATIONS, that's more accurate.

Originally posted by mateuloseEducation gives you chances you would not have without it. So therefore by definition a lack of education is a limitation.

Of course it is. How else could it be? By completing an education to a certain level you have shown that you are capable of certain jobs. Be that finishing high school or 3 years of college or a PhD. If you can't finish that then (ignoring outside problems) you would not be able to do those jobs.
Makes sense to me.
I want to work in engineering. Should I be able to go out to the job industry now, with my high school grades, and find myself a high paying engineering job? Of course not. So off I go to university to complete a 4 year degree. It'll cost money but the payoff is I get to work doing something I enjoy for good pay.

As I said, better hope to become a weapons scientist in the western world, that seems to be the ideal job here.
Could you quit feeling sorry for yourself for just a little while and try to actually do something about it. You complain and whine about everything. All it does is annoy people to the point where they don't want to help you.

Jeez! I hope to hell. These kids are murder on logic! Never an opinion that wasn't given them!
fault the kids for that either. I fault parents who think it is better to
try and be their kids friends than be their kids parents.

However this does not apply to all parents, only mature ones.

But you are right, there is certainly a lack of respect among today's youth. I tend to blame the current state of popular culture for that. But I blame everything on that.

be friendly towards our children, but we do not have the same
position in our childrens lives as the kids they run with. To attempt
to be on par with our kids in that way degrades our position in their
lives and underminds thier ability to respect authority outside of
the home, that is my point.
I recall I was in the back yard once with my son who was 9 at the
time. All of a sudden there were people cussing each other out on
the other side of our fence with every foul under the sun. At first I
thought it was a couple of kids simply mad at each other, then I
realized it was a child cussing out his parents, and his parents cussing
at him. The kid could not have been older than my son at the time.
So is there something wrong with that picture or what?

Originally posted by XanthosNZWhich is why I blame that kids parents.
Anyone who, in my eyes, shows themselves worthy of my respect will get it. However many of the people I am supposed to respect show themselves as people who in no way should be esteemed.
Respect is never a right. It should always be earned.
