Clarity, From The Judge Judy Show

As a general rule, don’t watch Judge Judy. Don’t do that to yourself. Because if you do, you’ll eventually come across an episode like this.

I don’t watch the show. I just had somebody e-mail me with the link to that disaster.

There’s a very easy way to eliminate the majority of these types of cases. Easy, and cheap as it happens.

Cut ‘em off. No more free money. You want to live? Get a job and work for a living. Want an education? Put yourself through school. That probably means a hell of a lot less Women’s Studies and Comparative Lit majors and more doctors and engineers. Which is a feature, rather than a bug.

Dumb-ass Duane from the Judge Judy clip isn’t some freak of nature. There are shocking numbers of kids out there who have that exact entitled, zoned-out mentality and who have been told practically from birth how special they are. It’s those coddled dopes who turned out en masse to vote for Obama in 2008; they were mainlining his “we are the ones we’ve been waiting for” bilge, since it was the same therapeutic delusionary rhetoric they’d been fed since pre-school.

Except life has a way of treating you just like Judge Judy treated Duane. There are no jobs for goofballs with Women’s Studies and Comparative Lit degrees anymore, and as our economy burns to the ground we find that insipid self-deception like he displays in front of the TV judge serves as outstanding kindling. Amid the misery, that stuff is the first to go.

You can whine and bitch about how your life was better when you’d mortgaged yourself to the hilt to be a full-time student taking crip courses in an easy major divorced from the real world, but ultimately you’re going to have to grow up and recognize the only way up the ladder is real work. If that means digging a ditch or washing dishes or turning a wrench, or whatever other job you thought was beneath you when you were doing bong hits and taking a survey course on Sylvia Plath or Queer Musicology, then so be it. Eventually you’ll recognize you’re only special based on what you contribute. Unfortunately for Duane, conversations with equally irresponsible and gullible females doesn’t signify a contribution.

And that recognition? Guess what we call that, Duane.

Adulthood.

We are going into the tank as a country. This is, despite the best efforts of our media propagandists, the Obama depression.

And we’re about to have a lot more adults in America than we had just a few years ago, whether Duane becomes one of them or not.

    Wow what a POS that guy is.  THAT attitude is the perfect example of what people are talking about when they would like to see entitlement reform.  He can’t look at it like someone giving him a chance to better himself and then feel some personal responsibility to become that productive citizen.  He simply looks at it like “free money” which unfortunately in his case it is since it seems very unlikely that the taxpayers of that jurisdiction will ever receive their part of the bargain.

    We are dealing with the 3 rd generation of this type thinking. These people were taught to “work the system” instead of working at a job and they have no shame. They are taught that they are ‘entitled” by their parents. Many are not even employable because they have such a large “chip” on their shoulder. Their attitudes stink and they are not capable of respecting authority or taking orders from anyone. How can you work while holding your pants up with one hand! Just because someone related to me that I never knew, owned a slave related to you that you never knew, does not entitle anyone to anything in 2011. It was “white guilt” that caused handouts and that created this entire breakdown of family. White people in 2011 should have no guilt and black people should have no expectations of entitlements. Able bodied people of all races should be working or looking for work. Many of these people with this mentality would not have known how to survive, if the federal government would not have sent out those checks on the 3rd of the month. No checks and no foodstamps was going to create riots in the street, burglaries, robberies etc. Honest Law abiding citizens  of all races know that handouts create laziness and trap people into a life of poverty. Lets teach our young people that no one owes them anything, that they better pay attention in school and be prepared to compete in the labor force when they finish school. Lets teach them how to dress and speak respectful, so the business community that they will be trying to get a job with, will have respect for them.
    How many business owners walk around with no belt and half their ass hanging out and with their cap turned sideways? If you want to be successful, then model the people that are successful. Dont walk around town dressed like a clown causing repectable and honorable people to look at you with disgust.

    Hopefully, Judge Judy will send the video directly to Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz and to LBJ’s daughters.  It was LBJ, desiring a permanent voting bloc, who gave us this gift that keeps on giving.  The human debris in the video is the poster boy for the Great Society.  Pfft.

    note the bailiff, bert’s expression, he’s a working, righteous, self respecting black man who gets up every morning and goes out to take care of business. bert does NOT agree with or approve of this jive a$$ trash talking turkey, and i agree with bert, “hey fool, shut your mouth and go out and get a job, grow up and be a man.”
