I keep saying that the "entitlement mentality" is not just a problem here; it's a problem in the entire industrialized world.

As Steyn said in our link this morning: "The collapse of the Entitlement State is not going to be pretty."

This state of childishness, this dependency explains the stunningly supine acceptance of the take over of Sweden by an alien human horde that couldn’t be more incompatible with Sweden’s centuries-old culture even if they rode around on giraffes and lived off boiled vulture. Getting your mouth on the tit is Job No. 1 and daddy and mommy will take care of any unpleasantness, notwithstanding the complete absence of evidence that mommy and daddy want to take care of the Unpleasantness in Question.
Hey! Where's my freebies?
