@@mgarratt101 There was a time, not that long ago, when this was the way most of us kids were. We paid our debts and didnt run at the first sign of trouble.
@mgarratt101 oh no, you're attempting to insult someone over integrity. You realize what you look like in this situation, right? And boomer is just a generation...oh gosh that person has lived longer than you, that's such an insult lmfao. Your last 2 brain cells want to die because they belong to you and sit unused
@mike62mcmanus Yes people often show their true colors in times of hardship. It's easy to be nice when things are going good it's when things are going to shit that you get to see peoples true character shine through.
@@ibrahimyaacob1347kids learn to be this polite not only by their parents but by the example set by the adults around them. So being the adult that shows them a better way will help them even if it only plants a seed. 😊
This is literally how the world is now. You can’t fk up. You can’t be useless. You can’t be better than other people at things. They’ll blame it on something else like mental illness or bad parenting. Nah you just a useless cant. Not everyone is Elon musk. And just because you aren’t, it doesn’t mean you’re destined for some other amazing 💩.
@@Tennant4doctorexactly it’s the people around them, kids just want to fit in with everyone else and if everyone around them is acting a certain way the kid is going to do the same. parents aren’t raising kids correctly anymore and it’s not always the parents fault now we have the internet it’s even harder to keep your kid safe, It’s totally different from the age most grew up in.
With a cool, calm demeanor, you can see beyond anger and frustration. Love the vibe. Edit: Never saw the movie, just this clip and I commented what I was feeling at the time. The amount of likes I got was nuts. The amount of trolling was expected. Thanks to all. That is enough internet for today.
@BongoBill How is it different? It's based on a real person, dimwitted person!!! HAHAHA you do know that, right? Think before you start typing!! Or do your research. That's what's wrong with people today. They think their world is the whole world. News flash!!! There's almost 8 billion people on earth. Not everyone acts like you or even thinks like you. A fact of life you should grasp immediately!!!
Today people are vile. I just want to get my groceries like you. But they think they own the store ,and your in their way. We all just surviving in America. Be kind, everyone suffering, except the the rich.
It's the beginning of the 20th century that's how culture was this generation should sit back and watch some of these old school movies to see what classes to see what status is to see what humanity and respect is yes I know they had their own flaws just like we do but but this generation's flaws are ridiculous in comparison to their flaws back then that's why they're called the greatest generation of all time respect hard work honesty caring humility and God loving what is a cultural norm vaccine
@@JohnnyD603 yes, back in those days, the parents held children accountable and didn't blame the teachers for the child's failures. The tech we have is generally much greater, but the cost to peoples soul wasn't worth it....
Reminds me of when my daughter, at age 5, saw a kid that couldn't have been more than 2, struggling with one of those rocking horses at the playground. and she literally got on, motioned how to make it go, got off and said "Now you try!" and the joy on the little girls face is worth more than all the riches in the entire universe.
That show's on your part that your a wonderful parent. Your daughter is a special kid she has a heart of gold and very caring. You have my full respect. God bless you
Boys NEED men. I'm not sure why people fail to see this, but young men need guidance from older men, sometimes constant guidance. I see it everyday at my job, all the young kids still in their very VERY early 20s follow me around all day at the office like a bunch of ducklings following their mamma duck lol.
Often, If There Is **ONLY ONE** *To Believe In You...* It had better be yourself... You Are 'Gifted' when someone believes in You MORE Than Yourself...!!! @iliketotrade
I wish parents would instill this kind of discipline in their own children. The kid didnt run or try to hide or make excuses. He owned up to it and even said he would make it right. If my son came home and told me this I would be the proudest father on earth
My nephew borrowed my ATV. Next thing I know my father is telling me they were clearing a trail and a branch swung down and cut my seat skin. They're trying to figure out how to return it in as good condition as they got it. Not hiding it... Not trying to weasel out... One is barely legal to drive on a permit... But they're learning to be responsible adults... Dare I use the term a Man.
Unfortunately our society since the summer of 2020, and subsequently encouraged under the current administration, is teaching everyone to be a victim, so what you’re suggesting isn’t in the cards for those families who don’t adopt the endearing philosophy in the video
His parents raised him right as well. Not only did he not run away, or deny that out was his fault, but he offered to get a job to pay for the damage. Integrity like that is in short supply these days.
I think his behavior would have been different if the kid had been entitled and just ran away or refused to take responsibility. I think the kids behavior of being responsible and really sorry for it and immediately owning up to his mistake and speaking to the person he hurt himself would cause most adults to behave like this and be patient and forgiving with the kid. But I do know just as many adults would have flipped out and been really angry over it no matter how the kid behaved. And I think it's just a societal problem.
The kid not only admitting guilt but saying that he'd get a job to pay it off is the most responsible and probably most unreaslistic answer i've ever seen.
I grew up in the before time and that was fairly normal behavior back then. The only things I can say objectively got better were the electronics and movie FX.
@@tim2024-df5fuI have to partially disagree with the electronics ... they may be better but they design them to fail within a few years. My old gear is still fine decades later
Never forget when I was raising my step Granddaughter and she was about 7yrs old. Came back from school in tears as she had a note that said she threw a snowball at another kid. I already knew about this as I got a call from a friend at the school who said a few kids were throwing snowballs at kids and those bullies never got into trouble. So I told her to stay in her winter clothes and I got my jacket on and walked outside with her behind. As soon as I could I picked up some snow and got her in about the stomach with a snowball. The fight was on. That was the only hit I scored and she just destroyed me. Always had so much fun with her as she was so very intelligent and respectful. That was in 2007. Great memories...hope she smiles thinking about all the fun times. Kids are Amazing.
That's old world thinking, anything sufficiently intense can be scarring to a child. A clown mask and a dark corridor could reduce them to pants-wetting and screaming when faced with either layer in life. Trauma is trauma.
If I'm reading this correctly, you were told by a friend at the school that kids were throwing snowballs at other kids and that those bullies never got in trouble. Then your step granddaughter came home with a note from the teacher saying she'd been throwing snowballs at other kids, and proceeded to not get into trouble. Your story reeks of illogic, half-truth, and virtue signalling.
U mean parents providing a ‘crack den’ shelter with spray painted gang symbols on the walls by their ‘artistically gifted’ kids? (never mind the family vehicles they’ve torched.) 🤦🏻♀️
Never seen a man happy to get his windshield cracked not once, but two times. That’s a great man right there too. Cause he didn’t look at the boy and see the kid that busted his windshield, instead he saw nothing but potential in that young man.
@@rawgamefootagethis aint Forrest Gump...its just coicudence that both characters wore leg braces. They were a MUCH more common treatment in days when medcine was less capable of preventing the sorts of conditions that need them.
It's about making money he saw the gigantic hit from the kid and knew its catching... Top players in baseball makes him more $ than 1 windshield lool... He was smart
What's more amazing to me is to see a polite child owning up to his mistakes and even offering to get a job to pay for it. That's the real miracle here.
I was looking to see if someone else picked up on that. The kid was humble, polite, sincere and WILLING TO WORK!!! I just looked out my front window and sure enough I saw the devil wearing a parka and a couple pigs were playing in the updraft about 50ft off the ground!
Drove bus, spare driver. Had to drive a run for 3 weeks. Elementary school run was packed. One kid was always loud and standing up a lot. Stopped him getting off one time, he thought he was in trouble. Nope. Saw how kids respected him and asked him to be back of bus monitor. He was so proud. I saw leadership in him.
Thats what I'm proud of. Let one person say to you, thanks. Thanks for being one of those men to which stood up to make the world a better place by encouraging goodness in another.
That's actor Randy Houser playing a man that encouraged Ricky Hill to keep fighting for his dream in the movie "The Hill" also starring Denis Quaid as Ricky Hill's father a traveling preacher.
Thank you. Damn, I couldn't recognize his face but that voice. I knew I knew that voice. Why he wasn't as big as Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, Keith Urban or Tim McGraw, I will never understand. From what I've read, he's like every one of country musician's favorite country musicians. That speaks more than any award ever could.
I do. A nice young man came to my door last week with $7 asking me if he could borrow my lawn mower. He was maybe 16 years old. He wanted to make his lawn look nice for his mother before she came home, as his mower was broken. No only did not take his money, I fixed his mower, showed him what to if it fails again, and we ended up mowing his lawn together. He wasn't sure what he was doing. I showed him exactly how to make his rows and make nice clean lines. After, he thanked me and asked again if I wanted his money. I asked him how much he could give me. He told me that he only had $7, but he could get more when his mother got home. I told him to keep it, and order his mom take-out so she didn't have to cook when she got home. He asked me why I was being so nice to him, and I replied, "when you do someone a favor expecting to profit, you're not being nice, you're doing business. That's not how I treat my neighbors". He almost cried. I topped off the fuel in his lawnmower and told him to knock on my door if he ever needs my help with anything. Good men do still exist. It's rare, be were out there still.
I just love this man. He has so much love and respect for this child. God bless him always for what he did to the mind of this child....in a beautiful way!
Someone who appreciates true talent. I love this attitude. One of the most heartbreaking things to me is when talented people have to give up on their dreams because of "LIFE" it is truly a tragedy 💔
Had a lifetime friend was a born teacher, had to work in the family restaurant because 'finial duty'. Saddest thing to see. Died of cancer....hopelessness.
@@noahhurley-abelew6536 of course I do. I'm talking about the character he is portraying. Movies aren't real but what they portray can be the realest of all things. I'm basically saying a person like this, I admire.
I was second to last making state in my worst race as a kid who felt talented just making that. I went to leave early and skip the slow last race and my coach shook me and said “you will get your ass behind that start and you light a fire in your soul and leave everything you have in that race, even if you can’t move, everything.” I was so inspired I won, the whole race, every heat of the event in state, and placed 3rd out of the whole Midwest. Inspire those around you, you just might be the miracle they need when they are also the one you do too.
No but it helps prevent more broken windows. If you never teach a child their actions have consequences, they’ll live their lives thinking they can do whatever they want.
@@Crimson.S.57 getting angry isn't necessary to teach that actions have consequences. In this scene, the kid already understands that he owes the man a new windshield and that he has to earn the money to buy it for him. He doesn't need a reminder. If anything, the issue is that the man doesn't take him up on it because he's impressed with the boy's skill. I know a boy who was pretty much ruined when his town let him off of a criminal charge because they wanted him to be able to compete on the high school football team. He learned that as long as he could throw a ball really well, he could do whatever he wanted without consequences. You can imagine how well that served him after he couldn't compete anymore.
@@Crimson.S.57better to give understanding when it's anything that doesn't deserve mortal threat... Anger has no place in any level of long game problem solving. That's the behavior of children and idiots.
@@Redact63Lluks That's right. It's one thing to be angry. Everybody gets angry sooner or later. It's quite another thing to show it and still worse to act on it or let it guide you.
H-He managed to hit the glass twice in a row, where he asked him to hit. The accuracy of that feat alone could get him into several top ranking places. Edit: Aw little baby men can’t handle a little Stutter over a text box, and now all they can do is complain in the reply section. Cry about you dweebs.
The point you are missing is the kid is hitting a rock several HUNDRED feet. A major league baseball field is 320 feet along the foul line from home plate, and 400 feet from home plate to the center field wall. Note, some stadiums are bigger. It's not the accuracy, it's the distance that is impressive. This kid could be a batter for major league baseball now. If he has that ability now, he will be hitting that ball out of the park as an adult.
@@jadoremakeup1422I appreciate the piint that @Azagrath-.-Elder-..-fallen made. The accuracy of hitting a windshield size area at that distance is way more impressive than just the distance by itself.
@@jadoremakeup1422just cos he can hit it that far wouldnt mean he could hit major league pitching mate. Someone throwing 40 is a lot different to 100. Doesnt mean he has good bat to ball skills it just means hes got power.
Sadly so rare today to find someone who speaks words of affirmation into a childs life. I told my daughters everyday they were beautiful and I loved them. Forty years later I reap their love for me. Now I get to tell my grand daughters they are beautiful and my grandsons I love them. They all love me so much.
I told my daughters I loved them and believed in them and was always there when they were kids now I get crapped on and ignored and treated like crap...that "theory" of yours doesn't always work, Sorry
We hold them accountable at the ballot box. But when one decides to run, ask them WHY they're running. And if you like what you hear, vote and hold them to it. Too many run for office for the wrong reasons.
What great characters. A little boy coming clean for what he did and promising to pay the man back. And a man letting him know the potential in him. We need more people like this, especially today. There are some conversations that can change a person.
So cool that someone can recognize the talent of a special kid and encourage them to be the best they can be. So I commend this father for his efforts to encourage his son to become all he can be.👍
Actually all of us are to blame each generation has failed the next. It’s been this way a long time in America failing to hold or be accountable to anyone is the lie that America was founded on.
@@gerardoarambula8613 He had spiritual eyes too. But he could see the demon in you. Don't worry he wasn't shooting at you he was shooting at the demon.
Disability does not mean disabled. You would be amazed what these kids can do, if the "Abled " weren't so busy trying to keep it hidden. Any child just needs a little encouragement and support 🙏. Let's change the narrative 🎉
Disabled is disabled. I have a disability. I am disabled. But I do get what u mean. Too many ppl think we can't contribute to society. Heck my docs told my parents I wouldn't walk, talk, or be a me to socialize or make friends and Ive done all those things. Especially thanks to the fact that my parents didn't listen to the docs who also said I wouldn't live last my teens(ill be 39 next week) and to just put me in a facility.
The movie is called "The Hill" starring Dennis Quaid. The true story of Rickey Hill, the son of a travelling pastor who overcomes physical obstacles to pursue his dream of playing baseball in the major leagues. (IMDb)
For sure old school people would be like this. This new generation is no where close to it. They would have to be reborn and raised by a village of old folks like him.
Yet when people try to express this Moment of Life, we get looked down on as if “we’re the main character.” We are not. Just trying to pass on the Hope and faith that time will guide you closer to your achievements.
