From what I gather: Everything.
Wait... kids don't do the darndest things in other countries? The title of this thread makes no sense to me.
The same thing that's wrong everywhere else. ;-)
In other words, the "good old days"...weren't.
It was meant to be an attention grabber. As well as a parody of some of the more sensational threads that pop up from time to time.
Ah...forgive me. I missed the "parody" part...I'm a bit tone-deaf, it seems. :D
The article reminded me of my kid brother, who at age 4 or so got up from the TV room and went into the kitchen. When we heard a pop tab open, my mother asked, "Whatcha doing?"
The reply: "I'm firsty. I'm gettin' a beer."

I only hope he had the sense to drink an import.

Of course not! They are very well-behaved and smart, because of actual schools and good education and all that.
In other countries, children of 4 already have been in school for 2 years.

If this is sarcasm, well done sir, my humor applauds you (even if my nasal passages do not, accursed Mountain Dew!).
If it is not... What.
The wieredst part for me was that he was found wearing a little girl's dress. I wonder what part of his dad's footstyeps he was following?
Well it is Tennessee. Probably the first thing that came to the kids mind when he thought 'what do people go to jail for?'

Let's see. My autistic brain picked up that the boy was 4 and his mom was 21, which means that mommy was 17 when she had her first baby. She's divorced, and she can't control her kid?
I once met a guy who set some curtains on fire when he was 3 years old. This wasn't in America, It was in the Netherlands. Bad parenting happens everywhere, although it does seem to occur more often these days.
And what isn't wrong in America?

Let us hope Canada never decides to conquer Washington (state). Cuz there goes most of our gaming industry right there. I’m watching you Canada.
And what isn't wrong in America?
Disclamer (I am not an American)
Paizo, the majority of people on these boards, billions in aid, a stabilising influence on the world, Innovation and scientific invention, some of its entertainment industry (Jos Whedon, John Carpenter and so on). Lots of very nice people.

Boy, the way Glen Miller played. Songs that made the hit parade.
Guys like us, we had it made. Those were the days.
Didn't need no welfare state. Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee, our old LaSalle ran great. Those were the days.
And you know who you were then, girls were girls and men were men.
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
People seemed to be content. Fifty dollars paid the rent.
Freaks were in a circus tent. Those were the days.
Take a little Sunday spin, go to watch the Dodgers win.
Have yourself a dandy day that cost you under a fin.
Hair was short and skirts were long. Kate Smith really sold a song.
I don't know just what went wrong. Those Were The Days.

Made you look. Okay, I admit to using deception to lure people to look at my conversions.
Edit: And deleted the link because it really wasn't very nice.
It's not called deception David. It's called advertising. ;)

If it was advertising he would have gone to every thread and linked them up. :)

What about J. Edgar Hoover? Oh, never mind.
Thank you.** spoiler omitted **

No problem...
I am also quite willing to say what is wrong with the United States in a constructive way (as a friend and admirer) but that was not the question.
I think the US gets dumped on more than it deserves. Unfortunately that is also part of being the worlds most powerful nation.

I heard my name! One of you America-bashing commies said my name!
Oh it's just that sloppy drunk hippy with the hooves. Never mind.

MM thats a tough one. Lets see the dads in jail so maybe the dad is on the bottom bunk being some prison studs punk.
In all seiriousness it's incredibly sad that the boy misses his father so bad that he thinks the only way to see him is to go to jail.
The mother should try to find a positive male influence for the child like scouts or a church group or even a daycare center so he can learn to interact with other guys. Otherwise he's gonna become very effeminate in nature simply due to his limited male exposure. He will NOT become homosexual(thats a genetic trait,not learned behavior) simply because of lack of male role models but he will be more effeminate due to the lack of them.

Beat me to it.
I don't care were you're from, that's funny right there.

OK yes I can see the humor in it too. this poor kids gonna have to live down being the youngest drag queen in history. I can only hope that one day he'll learn to accesorise his outfits better. lol
I hope this doesn't get me in trouble, but I personally think that capitalism is to blame for the current global economic crisis.

CJ and Orthos, thanks for not turning my comment into a thread jack I realise now that it was rather inflamatory. However If you two would care to debate me on the issue we can take it off board, I am always intrested in others opinions. Plus I have read your posts in other threads and I think we can have a lively respectful disscussion amoungst adults that even if we dont agree we can still learn from one another and gain new perspective.
This might also be what's wrong with America.
There's one in every bunch.

I think we need to contact Bothered About Dungeons & Dragons.
