A very good read Riddil. I'm surprised you haven't been castigated for it.
As a Canadian (ex Brit) looking in from the outside I would agree with much of what you say but it isn't only the U.S. that has that mentality. Quebec has a high percentage of idle people who believe the world owes them a living.
I have come to the conclusion this mentality arose about 30 years ago when teaching went to the wall. The end result is that todays' crop of students have parents that were not properly educated and consequently have no guidance as it's left to the schools to bring up children and they are out of their scope in trying to do so.
