"In fact, we may be creating a generation of entitled little whiners. I came across an article recently that reported how growing numbers of employers today complain that many young job applicants exhibit all the signs of having been - there's no other word for it - spoiled. These young people feel entitled to jobs and salaries they haven't earned. They have unrealistic views of their own capabilities. They don't take criticism well, and they demand lots of attention and guidance from their employers."

When Palin enjoys bringing them up as political props and talking about how great they are, I don't see why they aren't fair game for criticism.
She should be criticized for bringing them up as political props but their actions shouldn't really dictate anything beyond are they normal kids or are they not. And they seem to be ignorant but normal.

How are Republicans going to bitch about this?
We're giving it to fucking basketball players?
What a worthless... I don't know whether to finish this sentence with "medal" or "society."
Man, it's weird being all emotionally mixed up and aware of it. Like, I usually harbor illusions of objectivity, but right now I'm so very aware that I feel really out of control and I'm scared.

Why am I more likely to give money to a person out of gas at a gas station than a homeless dude with a sign. Guh, I suck.
One time I was in a shady part of LA at night with a friend and this dude ran at our car with a gas can. We were terrified and rolled up our windows and locked our doors.
Dude was just out of gas.
I felt bad.
Needless to say we drove off.

Man, I'm attracted to this girl in my Spanish class and she seems to like me too, but we just don't have a strong rapport.
what do you mean?
build a rapport
We've been seeing each other twice a week since the semester started, and we walk to the bus together. Plus, it's Spanish, so we have plenty of chances to talk to each other during class.
Is it unreasonable to think that, if we were especially compatible, that wold be apparent by now?

Oh don't worry, that's the least of it. We've given it to borderline war criminals like Rumsfeld, as well as all manner of religious psychos like the mormon prophet.
Basketball players are amongst the least awful recipients.

Don't do either--give to charities that you select beforehand, like Oxfam.
I must be the easiest person to guilt in the world. Also, what is it with philosophy grad students and oxfam? They are the only people I ever hear talk about it.

Go back to the gas station and rob that person. For the good of helping those in need, comrade.
