Yeah I guess I completely disagree with your premise that kids just can't help themselves. Many don't shoplift yet their friends might do this regularly, many don't drink or smoke or do weed because their friends do. So, they can manage enough restraint to NOT do those things yet they can't pick their damn heads up out of their cell phones?! Maybe that's an indictment of parenting. MY expectation of my kids is that when we are at dinner etc. put the damn phone away or TURN IT OFF. I myself have a need to be on twitter but the negatives outweighed the positives so I de-activated the account. I also de-activated my Facebook account even though I used it every day because while it was great to keep in touch with childhood friends but the anti-Trump haters can't get over an election that occurred forever ago so I de-activated that account as well. So, again I think people who can't turn it off or can't use it appropriately shouldn't have it period.From a logic standpoint this statement is not wrong. I think most adults see Twitter, Snap chat, Facebook and all the others for the vain and fake circuses that they are. However this is not a reasonable perspective from younger generations. They view social media as a vital means of communication and validation. To simply say "turn it off" is asking the majority of them to sacrifice something they deem as important. All because actual adults can't control themselves and act with proper decorum. Just yet another sad example of humanity at its finest. Meanwhile we all just accept it with our evening news.
Some posters on here even likened rooting for a mediocre sports program to be "accepting mediocrity". Yet some of the very same people are so willing to accept our societies mediocrity. They will stand against University injustice. Teeth sharpened, gnashing at flesh over a perceived state of mediocrity. Bound and determined to inspire change through revolt. Those same people can't even muster 1 ounce of compassion for a young adult struggling with having themselves slandered all over a social club that they hold in high regard. It's all good though. They sucked so they deserve it.
What I'm amazed at is Fran's staff being so poor at COACHING defense. I must say, and I won't bag on any kid, when people are too lazy to box out or can't stay in front of anyone driving to the basket that's a fundamentals problem.
