Well, you don't have to if you don't want to...but I find it pretty funny when that little racist shows up. Hope he comes back with some more silly stuff. |

Nice. This is turning into a rant. But I cannot resist adding one: I spent a lot of time in Los Angeles and keep an apartment in Phoenix (my base address). I was waiting for a sports club to open at its 6:00 time two weeks ago. The young man did not show up until 8:15. I figure he's in his early 20s. This morning he showed up at 6:15. I asked him what's his excuse? He replied "I don't have an excuse." That was it.
California: 11.6% unemployement.
I have a 54 year old sister who worked more than 30 years in California in the health care field but had 5 months of not being employed since October. She flew coast to coast interviewing and ended up on the east coast. She's a California native and always worked somewhere on the California coast from Santa Barbara to Mendocino County.
I felt like choking the young lad at the sports club. With such a cavalier attitude in a state with an umployment rate of 11.6% and watching my sister moving to the east coast to work, I have a good reason to be angry.
Disclaimer: Not all young people are like the cavalier little snot-nosed twit. But yes, I'd say a majority these days are spoiled and take living with cell phones, instantaneous gratification for granted.
This is why I wish for a long deep recession.

The majority, however, seem to believe that they can get by on "personality" and "looks". . . I've had young college graduates (lord knows how they managed that!) tell me that they were "cute" and that they were "brats", and so they didn't need to work, or think or apply themselves in any manner, in order to get by! I think that our societal lack of regard for education and overimportance on physical attractiveness is not serving us well. . .

I encountered naive teenagers working at grocery stores or fast food restaurants in the east coast, and I can tell you that they are probably smarter already than the hordes of college graduates I have met and encountered at ASU. In other words I believe they have way more potential.
Do not let me get started with the population who obviously decided not to pursue higher education. It is scary, and I thought Caucasian people were supposed to be smart.
I thought during my short trip back I would have a different view of the area I once lived in, and brought about more of an open mind. However, I was right all along. Seriously, it has to be more than just the educational system. Do parents care about the way their children develop? I just want a straight answer.

Contrary to your statement about teenagers on the east coast, I have found that EVERYWHERE is pretty much the same as you describe Phoenix. There seems to be an awful lot of really, incredibly stupid people out there. And watching 4 - 6 hours of telelvision every night isn't helping one little bit.

Sounds like you are being sensitive. Maybe that is the truth, he did not have an excuse like most people try to make up. Why does he need to make up a story to make you feel better? If i came into work late and my boss asked me "why were you late" i would tell him the exact same thing if i have no valid reason. "I have no excuse." It is not an insult, its the truth. 
There are way too many people like this in Phoenix. Too short, are not courteous, and think the world evolves around them.
