When will someone have the balls to say, "Who CARES what you want?. I want to win the lottery. So what? Suck it up" The everyone-gets-a-trophy, "good job" (for doing nothing), rules are for other people, spoiled rotten generation needs to find out that they are not the centre of the universe. Most of us learned that by the time we were 3 or 4. Until they learn it, they will never be able to function as adults If I was in charge I'd say, "too bad, it stays". If they decided to riot over it, I'd add a 2nd exhibit and expel anyone who was violent or destroyed property. BTW, John Wayne means nothing to me. The point is, you don't give in to children when they have a tantrum. [independent.co.uk]

Remember the good old days when you had to come in first to be a winner!!!!!!!????

They're ALL winners. To single out one for excellence would damage the psyches of all the others LOL The real socialist goal is to make us non competitive, satisifed with mediocrity. You can't have people who want to be ""better" or want to get ahead in a Socialist Utopia. Having "more" will be reserved for our Dear Leaders.

Your point about being told one does a good job when they have done nothing made me think of a recent stay I had in the hospital. There was one nurse, a German lady with bright yellow hair. She was excessively cheerful, I think she was used to working with very young kids because she talked to me like I was about 3 years old.

I had a femoral artery bypass operation so getting up and walking was a bit difficult. The third morning after the surgery I had my wife get a walker from a second hand shop because my cane was not enough. I had decided to get out of bed on the far side away from the bathroom door so I would have to traverse that bit of extra distance to get that little bit of extra work out. This German nurse came in, and I had to explain why I was getting out of bed on the far side. As I was moving to the bathroom she kept talking non-stop, and at one point she actually said to me, "You are doing such a good job, you're a real hero!"

I would have laughed but that would have hurt.

I tried doing that once. I should have realized how close the frying pan was to my wife's good swinging arm....

@MaskedRiderChris Tried saying to my wife, "Who cares?" when she was telling me what she wanted....(and that is just a joke, hard to tell when ya don't know someone too well)

OK boomer.

lame - very lame. A real genuine "boomer" trying to be cool with the new slang...c'mon Ricky you can do better. LOL - of course I am assuming your profile pic is really you...you look to be about my age in that pic. BOOMERS !

@iThink come on... that was funny!

@iThink Hate to break it to you but I'm not a boomer. My parents are boomers.

@WilyRickWiles I agree that your parents suck big-time! 😀 Most of most generations of man 'kind' SUCK! ROFLMAO Can you hear gun-shots throughout the night in Chi-town? Yet?

@WilyRickWiles ha! well if that's your pic you must've had a difficult life...LOL you look like a boomer to me....LOL

@joeray No I've actually never heard a gunshot here. How about in NC?

@WilyRickWiles
So Ricky you have never heard a gunshot? really? What - you live in a gated North Shore community? LOL.

I live in a suburb of Kansas City. 20 miles southwest...every now and then I hear a gunshot or several. Albeit NOT fired in anger but most likely fired out of stupidity.
I've been in this house for about 6 years and best I can tell there are at least two houses south of me and at least one north from whence these gunshots seem to come...I believe they are fired into the air - usually happens around holidays...certainly New Years and on Independence Day. Stupid thing to do for sure.

Now that I think about it - I believe any house or apartment I lived in for more than 3 or 4 years I have heard gunshots. Not many - certainly but nevertheless I have heard them.

When I lived in an apartment in the River Market area there was one dark night I heard at least 5 rapidly fired shots - turned out that was a murder. Detectives canvassing the area knocked on my door 2 days later - wanted to know if saw or heard anything. Told them I heard the shots but that was about 3 blocks from my place - under the Broadway Bridge down close to the River so I did not see anything when I went to the window to peer out. Go figure.

@iThink No gates and not the North Shore.

@iThink Chicago is not that different from your KC example. The violence is geographically concentrated to several city blocks. And per capita, Chicago's violent crime rate is lower than the homes of many of its critics. KC has a higher murder rate, for example. But it is true that violent crime has not declined as quickly as some of its peers, e.g. NYC.

@WilyRickWiles

It's highly unlikely IMHO that any Chicagoan living anywhere between the Magic Mile and down to the South end has never heard any gunshots. Lincoln Park, Boys town, South suburbs. Maybe they are so commonplace (like a clock ticking in your kitchen) that you don't notice them. LOL

@iThink "It's highly unlikely IMHO that any Chicagoan living anywhere between the Magic Mile and down to the South end." Well that's where I live.

@WilyRickWiles I know that - but playing around with "statistics" does not negate the fact that in dense population centers and their suburban areas gunshots are NOT uncommon - at all.

@WilyRickWiles that's a pretty large span of distance - do you live in Boys town? ha!

@iThink Boystown is on the north side. I did technically live there once for its proximity to Wrigley Field and cheaper rents but that was over 10 years ago.

@WilyRickWiles I've only been there a few times - my 2nd wife raised her family there. At first in Lincoln Park and later moved up to Willamette. As we rode the trains and drove around she pointed out various "areas" like Boys town, Wrigley, etc.
We spend some time in the Art Institute which I thoroughly enjoyed the impressionism section. Went to the Science Museum, and Museum of Natural History...never made it to the pier nor the Shedd.
While I naturally appreciate and enjoy the major "touristy" features of Chicago I did not like the city at all - having grown up in little ol' Kansas City (at first on the farm and then to a working class blue collar neighborhood on the outskirts of the big city but not really far enough out to be a "suburb" and so on Chicago seemed heavy and overwhelming to me. Nice place to visit for a day or two but I would NOT be happy living there.

There is a pool room I believe on the West end (perhaps?) called Red Shoes Billiards I would like to visit - because there are some guys there who I believe love to play Straight pool - my favorite of the billiards disciplines.
Can't find any guys here in KC who still love that game - all the guys my age want to play One Pocket (what a bore!) and the younger guys want to gamble on 9 ball - I can play and I can gamble but I get no pleasure from it.
Red Shoes in the home pool room for a guy named Dennis Walsh - he's all about Straight pool and has a You tube channel which I am subbed to. Everything he posts has to do with Straight Pool - but I'll probably never go there...too far to travel for one or two afternoons of playing. Not enough incentive there. ha.

@iThink Fair enough. A day downtown can be rather overwhelming. But there is a lot more to Chicago in its neighborhoods. My favorite part is the live music community and the street festivals in the summer. Hard to get that in the suburbs. Though I do long to be closer to nature sometimes.

@WilyRickWiles Only when I pull the trigger or at the range. We have actual dangerous wild animals that can kill you around where I live and you can't pee your pants to stop them. 😀
