I do believe that there is an underlying sense of entitlement which has grown to be remarkably common in America. It's still kind of a chicken/egg type thing in my mind as I have no conclusive proof, but it's definitely a pattern I've noticed. This is how you end up with obese, obnoxious, hug-box loving idiots. They're entitled to everything. Entitled to eat more, to be "safe" from any sort of criticism (a.k.a. truth), to be called or considered "beautiful". It's insane. It's the kind of mindset that causes them to think they deserve handicapped spots with no placard.
