I guess not, see Amnorix's post 13. Kind of deflating, I had really enjoyed the read, that included him, Captain Kangaroo and Lee Marvin, probably all bull shit.
I was a real Lee Marvin fan, but never paid much attention to the other two.

Wow.... utterly baffled by Miss Rich Bitch in the above Youtube... and then I found her reply to that.... this can't be real.... nobody is that f'n selfish and spoiled....right?

When I was a kid, Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Rogers, and Lee Marvin's All-Star Cursing Hour were all on at the same time. I enjoyed watching that f****r.

Jeezuz.... it doesn't stop..... will someone please stab this twunt in the face already?

I actually at down Saturday night and watched some marathon on VH1 of My Super Sweet Sixteen. One girl was actually 15, and still got a badass Land Rover. It was going to sit in their driveway for a year until she was able to drive it. Spoiled rotten brats. One of them was EZ-E's daughter. She rented a mansion, and got some sort of Porsche SUV.

ROFL Lee Marvin was about as close being a real bad ass as anyone could be, even more than the Duke IMO.

Steve McQueen ranks pretty high on that bad-ass list.

Lee Marvin actually was the man John(Marion) Wayne pretended to be.

I don't think Mr. Rogers or ex hippies have anything to do with kids being narcissists. I personally blame it on parents who think their most important role is serving as their child's advocate. Kid gets a bad grade, time to head up to the school for an argument with the teacher. Kid not a starter on the little league team? Doesn't make all-stars? Time to call the coach, maybe complain to the league president. Kid get pushed around by another kid? Don't let him handle it himself, go see the other kid's parents. Maybe get a lawyer.

For the past twenty years or so, parents never want to let a child's failures be the child's fault. Someone else is always to blame. They become narcissistic because mom and dad never allow them to understand that they're responsible for their own actions or that there are some things they're just not good at.

And, FWIW, I think this behavior applies to most parents today, not any particular "type", or political persuasion. I also think we've been heading that way for a long time and previous political trends had nothing to with it, better or worse. It's just another symptom of the "me first" mentality that has become so prevalent. This is the "my kid first" offshoot.

That's a pretty good take, afaic. :clap:

I don't REALLY blame Mr. Rogers; or even the hippies for that matter (the hippie thing was more to stir things up than anything...right John? :p )

Anyway, I think you are pretty close to the mark with your analysis. What I would say though, is that Mr. Rogers and the hippies....were, at least, symptomatic of the problem....if nothing else. IMO, they were manifestations of this disease, so-to-speak. :hmmm:

Can't argue with any of that! :thumb:

I totally agree. When it comes to sports I honestly believe many parents are trying to relive their pasts through their children plus they want their children to become the next Lebron James or Peyton Manning so they can become rich and famous.

Don Chance is full of shit, and so are you.

Up your nose with a rubber hose.

I SOMEHOW missed this VERY insulting post. :harumph:
