“Dr.” Joshua D. Sparrow got his feathers ruffled by the claims of another writer who is positing we overindulge our children these days to the point where they are narcissistic little brats.
His reply to this claim is typical of the leftist mantra that driving an SUV is somehow “self-centered” in and of itself.(Are we raising a nation of little egomaniacs?)
Sparrow says one of the big problems is that Twenge makes a claim that kids are more narcissistic these days but she doesn’t account for the possibility that our culture as a whole may be more self-centered than it was 20 years ago. “Look at all the people driving gas-guzzling SUVs. They are not all 35 and under,” he says.
Now, after such a ridiculous comparison off parenting to driving an SUV, how can ANYONE take this “Dr.” seriously?
So, I give Joshua D. Sparrow, birdbrain at large, the Leftist Mantra of the week award!
