ttbn,
Tragically, the largely Left orientated education circus has produced armies of SD's calibre & in my opinion only the reintroduction of common sense & merit via a National Service or Gap Year can slow this moronising !

It should be noted these feeling are reduced with age
Paul1405,
Says who ? Do these reports address the actual causes of stress ? No, because if they were to look into this they'd find that it is the Leftist idiocy that is the culprit.
Stupid things like one can't tell a kid that they came last in a contest or suggesting to train harder etc etc. Saturation blabbering about entitlements but nothing about responsibility.
Children being encouraged to claim to be of an opposite gender to what they are & plenty other such idiocy coming from modern "adults" !
The Left 'adults" sure have done already more damage than previous generations by simply being idiots of a calibre never seen before ! In Australia this stupidity started with Goaf's assembly of inadequate bureaudroids !

Indy,

Why don't YOU tell us why you didn't do NATIONAL SERVICE whey you had the opportunity to do so? YOU bang on constantly about young people should be press ganged in a National Service outfit but never did it yourself. Rather hypocritical!

BTW, would you support a Seniors National Service, where those eligible/capable were required to make an effort to earn their aged welfare? How many hours a week can you work for that taxpayer funded handout?

why you didn't do NATIONAL SERVICE whey you had the opportunity to do so?
Paul1405,
When I was the right age I wasn't eligible besides, young Australians then weren't as useless as they've become since thanks to leftist idiocy !
Everyone I knew then had a job as an apprentice & only the likes of you didn't. They were known as Dole Bludgers and, because they voted for the Goaf many then got taken into the Public Service under Keatinge & Hawke to some extend & we all know the rest ! They became the parents of the teachers whose children have become influencers & indoctrinators of recent.
The sad show is still snow-balling !

Indyvidual- Yes national service does seem to help young people perhaps all people to see the world in a different way- giving hope to the hopeless- and motivation to the purposeless. Both individual attributes and team skills facilitate effective teams- they are more experienced than learned. The military is a great source of effective and scalable teams- they invest a great deal in training- but training doesn't need to be an expensive cost sink.

Maybe we should be training our own people rather than everyone.

Indyvidual- It appears that "SD" sees himself as a moderate- everyone sees themselves as a moderate at a certain stage of their development. We know he's wrong but SD needs to work that out for himself. Maybe present certain concepts in order that he starts to see...
1. Overton's Window
2. Not labelling something doesn't mean you are moderate it just means that you are unable to classify modes of thinking into archetypes- as Jung tried to do. Often you need to look at many perspectives Communist/ Capitalist/ Traditional/etc and seeing the paradoxes between these different views in order to form a more consolidated perspective. Not just deny that these perspectives don't exist.
3. etc- I'm sure there are many reason's not to be a moderate
