How Bill O'Reilly attempts to belittle younger generations

High tech devices are just another Matrix offering to distract from reality, thereby taking or usurping more personal power. People are so obsessed with their toys, they even sleep with them by their beds...

In relation to the vast majority of the specified generation, he is 100% accurate. I see it first hand and it's pathetic. My children are the exception to the rule amongst their friends, in that their phone/TV/Xbox/Ipad usage is restricted and attached to chores and real life accomplishments (studying, working out, practicing instrument, etc...). The iPhone has become the new babysitter for uninvolved parents. When those kids are complete failures, still living at home in their late twenties, the parents will deserve every frustrating moment.

I think in a country whose inhabitants consume more than 4 times what they need, that has more empty houses than homeless people, should offer full time jobs that pay living wages, otherwise those jobs shouldn't exist. If you have to work more than 1 full time job, there isn't much time to pull yourself out of your situation, ensuring the cycle of poverty continues

So you're the deciding factor about how much consumption is "needed" vs. not "needed"?

That's comedy right there.

If you're so concerned about the "homeless", why not try to land a job as a social worker, or work a soup kitchen?

If you can't find a decent job in your area, why not go to where the work is? People ALWAYS need folks to do dangerous, hard, or "dirty" work, and the pay is usually much better than "clean" white collar office work.

Only an idiot would believe there isn't opportunity out there to be found, but you've got to find it yourself.

YOU, however, don't seem to be an idiot. Naive? Sure. Idiot? No.

Time to grow the fuck up and quit trying to blame "society" for YOUR failure to create the life YOU want to lead.

Oh c'mon wilksey, people want life handed to them on a golden platter. Lifting a finger to get it doesn't come into the plan when they can get government to force it to happen.

Of course it does, you've got liberal feces up your nose. Anything that espouses individual responsibility and diminishes the overreach of the gub'ment, is automatically hate speech or racist.

You can have my electricly heated mattress when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
