Good ol' fashion cane should do the trick.
These days it's considered abuse.

Funny how majority of baby booners(after WW2) came out alright but todays generations are screwed up really badly.
We're spoilt as heck and take advantage of everyone around us and the things we have.

My mum constantly used to yap about how she had to travel a few kilometres through snow to get to school everyday.

we're spoiled because that's how the US market is staying afloat.

The USA has accumulated so much debt that the only reason we haven't gone bankrupt is because the culture has suceeded in training us to want "instant gratification." Basically, the whole country is running on borrowed money. Parents will buy anything for their kids just to get them to shut up for a few days. And when those kids grow up, they are used to not earning the the things they have. Don't have money for a $40,000 SUV? Just borrow the money and drive away today!!

There is a paradox here; if the entire country became ethical with their spending habits, the market would crash, and the US would have to find another WWI to make profit. But if things continue as they are, the culture will only become more and more corrupt leading to the downfall of western civilization as we know it with Islamic countries/cultures who value the family, who value tradition, who value morals will become the dominant force in the world.

Bah, doomsday message.
