What has happened to our parents today? Have they all lost their minds! I remember when I was 10yrs old, my aunt went to jail for shoplifting. She kept this secret for two years and never told us one word. Now you have parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles teaching their kids to shoplift. What ever happened to if you don't work you dont eat!

It used to be that whatever the family business was, you learned.
YOu haven't stated what it was that you saw that made you start this discussion. Who was teaching their child to shoplift?
No one has lost their minds. Humans have wonderful ways of justifying just about anything. You see that in the laws preventing gays from entering into legally recognized relationships in the USA. It is extremely inhumane but is constantly justified.
What ever upset you doesn't mean the human race is more doomed than it was when you were 10 years old. You just k now more about the world and are probably grappling with something that you hadn't known aout before.
Relax...the sun will still rise tomorrow... and if it doesn't then you'll have nothing to worry about.

This is why the world is getting worse and worse. Im not talking about joining the Mob. That was the family business and if you remember kids were not allowed to join. It when they got older then and only then were they allowed to participate. If i didnt experience this change in time I would not have started this discussion. As a matter of fact I am working on a non profit organization to help these troubled teen who do not know what they are getting themselves into to. I will probably be helping one of your kids or family menbers while you are at home just relaxing. Or better yet you will have an older family member teaching them to shoplift while you are still relaxing. We cant just sit back and let things get worse- we have to make a difference.
