There is a subtle difference. I have a problem because it affects me. Now, in the form of the streets being blocked by the parents in their idling cars (as opposed to the parents that <em>do</em> walk and wait on the sidewalk, not blocking traffic). Later, in that unless these kids have a drastic metamorphosis will end up just as lazy and unable to deal on their own once they grow up and enter the market. It's a bad trend.

If they get fat and have a heart attack, so what? oh, and yes, i'm aware of the irony/hypocrisy in writing this comment Why do you have such a problem with what other people do, they aren’t meddling in your shit, so why are you meddling in theirs?

When I was in grade school, I had to walk about 1/4 mile to the bus stop in all sorts of weather, and I don't remember my parents ever driving us to the stop...if anything, Mom would walk up to the stop to meet us. Likewise when I went to high school...about the same length of walk to the school as to the bus stop. Even now, I laugh at people who will sit in their cars, idling for five minutes while they wait for a parking place that will minimize their need to walk.
