So what if the kids curse? It doesn't matter anymore. How can we expect our kids to act respectfully if we sweep offensive activity under the rug? BTW, I also interviewed for a summer job with the local AAA baseball team today. You would not believe the number of people that showed up in shorts, t-shirts, jeans, and sweats. I don't expect people to dress in 3 piece suits to interview for a part-time job, but I was absolutely shocked at the lack of interest people had in their personal appearance when applying for a job. Nothing is worth expending any effort for anymore. It's ridiculous.

I find it crazy that people don't seem to care about anything in their life. Kids are almost encouraged by their parents these days to act poorly. I live near a more affluent area. The ways that the kids act are purely ridiculous because they are taught that they are superior. Every kid thinks that they are above any rules that are set, and that they don't have to do what adults tell them. The direction that our society is headed is a scary one, especially if kids don't change their act soon.
