Same story with me. Those days are long gone. Personal responsibility, what's that today?

The spoiled, pampered generations have taken over and I'm so sick of hearing "how hard they have it today"! :S

Spring breaks, "fun in the sun" times! Springs break and summer vacations were working at part time jobs for me and most others when I was in college. We didn't complain, it was all about affording to pay for college tuition. ;)

More disconcerting is that THEY are the next generation that will be running our country....if there is anything left to run. :(

I was taught by my parents, take only pictures leave only foot prints. I taught my children to leave a camp site cleaner than we found it.

Poorly educated and shows how they were brought up. Not one camper stayed to clean up the mess. That indicates a broad attitude.

Amen to that!

It looks like idiot oil was involved!

Sad situation but, it's not just kids that does this type thing.

Perhaps it was the kids "safe place".
