Wow, that was such a dramatic moment in that movie. For anyone else wondering, Joe's referring to "Hardcore", a little-known but poignant movie written and/or directed by the director of Taxi, I think. Clearly whoever wrote it saw the problems of Christian kids in an unloving, legalistic (and Calvinistic) home. Interestingly, however, George C. Scott won in the end, because he had the "substance" - the character - to love in a sacrificial way (like a typical Work Sub), but not in an emotional way. “I don’t know how to love!” Wow, that was such a dramatic moment in that movie.

Most of the burden lies on the parents. I've seen it with people my age- they still act like high schoolers even thought thet are approaching 30. Its pretty scary to me as I will be thinking about kids in the next few years. There's so much responsibilty tied to raising kids. Like the movie Hardcore we watched, you want to protect your kids from what's out there and give them all the opportunities you can, but there's a huge difference between enabling them and preparing them to be successful in the world. I thought George C. Scott's reaction at the end of the movie was interesting. I feel the same way he felt when he broke down next to his daughter- I don't know how to love people. Yes, I agree.

It's a huge and growing phenomena in American culture, and the Boomers are the ones propagating it.

How much of the blame lies with the parents when their children “grow up”, but don’t really grow up and remain infantiles?
