    The general decline in standards today

    There has been a decline in standards in the military due to a largely overweight population that is less educated. From what I've read, the military has had to issue many waivers....

    Thank YOU for your service- families serve, too! Yes, I've heard that, too. It's not fun!

    Off topic, but my heart goes out to you. My husband was on recruiting duty and it is a very trying time for families!

    Right. So the 2010's will be misunderstood as the age of Botox, spray tans, implants and puerile pursuits. By the way, I love New Jersey. The show "Jersey Shore" has little do to with the state.

    When I was single and in school, I couldn't stand the prince mentality. I had many guys wanting to mooch off of me. I held down a full time graduate course load while working a 20 hour a week assistantship and a 20 hour a week internship. In retrospect maybe I should have tried the princess...

    The "princess" mentality is a manifestation of narcissism and men can be just as guilty of it. In keeping with this thread, there has been an increase of narcissism since back in the day: http://news.discovery.com/human/narcissism-epidemic-college-students.html Imagine a country where...

    Also, perhaps you mean better for you? My husband went on to become a decorated US Marine. I think it taught him to not expect much in the form of cushy treatment from his employer. ;)

    Some people might actually want to work there, and even more admirable are those who would rather not work there but opt to do so because they can't find a better job, especially given the current economy.

    All honest work is classy. Anyone who opts to work at a job, even one that lacks the "class" you describe, instead of mooching off of anyone else, has class and character. My husband worked at McDonald's as a teen.

    I've been in restaurants with no paper towels in the bathroom. How are the employees washing and drying their hands???

    MRE's come with TP in wrapped, folded squares. I used keep some in my glove box!

    When my husband was still in the USMC I did a lot of long distance driving which meant lots of stops along the way at gas stations. The bathrooms were deplorable!!!

    I try things on in the fitting room, go home, try it on again, then return about 1/3 of what I buy because I don't like the way I look in it in a different light. :rolleyes: But I like your way of doing it!

    The people working at my Macy's are very nice and professional. Just the fitting rooms, yuck. Hopefully my complaint will help, in fact while I was complaining another woman in the room came out to chime in, too.

    I am not "hell bent" on anything, nor am I interested in defending PB personally, nor am I afraid to speak my mind. I am, however, defending people's right to state disagreeable opinions agreeably. I don't agree with the nature of his later remarks, but turning the thread into a counseling...
