Comments: Trigger Warning: College Kids Are Human Veal

Seems there's two kinds of college kids these days: ones that get a good hard punch in the face and the others that are in line waiting to get punched.

For a number of people in my age group (I'm sixty-eight so figure maybe fifty-five to seventy-five) all we needed was a kick in the ass, or hitting the brick wall, or the metaphoric punch in the face to serve as a wakeup call.
For example: get fired from a job, get tossed out of an apartment for back rent, get drafted and get shot at, do thirty days for drunk & disorderly. Something that brought reality right up in our face.
We'd learn that there ain't no such thing as a free lunch, that if you don't work you don't eat, lessons so obvious that chimpanzees learn 'em.

I guess college kids these days don't learn jack shit except how to cringe in a "safe place". Safe place? Really, safe? Like from what? Life?
