Why that's nothing. When _I_ was a kid my step dad woke me up with a punch in the face and threw me out into the yard with the step dog, a rabid pit bull with an ingrained hatred of children. I would try to eat his food for breakfast but had to settle for sticks and grass. I wasn't allowed to go to school but instead was sent to work in the salt mines. I had to walk barefoot on sharp rocks and vomit-smeared, broken glass for 15 miles. When I got there they would throw me down the mine shaft (the elevator was reserved for Senior Staff) and whip me with vinegar soaked ropes while I dug salt with my bare hands. And let me tell you wimps, I was glad to have the job, lucky to land the position I had and grateful for the 7 cents a day I earned!! I bet you eat lunch every day, don't you? Well in my day that was unheard of. We worked straight on for 18 hours stopping only to die of a cave in, equipment explosions, or heart failure. After a body cavity search for stolen mine equipment by Nurse Ratchet I would crawl home, do my chores, eat a few bugs or if I was lucky, a rat, and go to sleep for 2 hours in the rusty steel barrel I had to share with my 6 brothers and sisters. Oh I know, you're thinking "big deal." Well it IS a big deal you whining, paper-piddling puppies!! This is just indicative of how soft this country of pantywaists has gotten!
