The Poojer Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I am sure your grand dad's grand dad said the same thing when he was coming of age. and today's kids will say the same thing to their grand kids. Kids today are going to do just fine, despite the older generations attempts at bringing them down every step of the way....now get off my lawn! 44 minutes ago, DaBillsFanSince1973 said: like my grand dad used to say, the country is going to hell in a hand basket. fortunately for him he didn't live to see it come to pass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 What's with all the millennial hate? The "Greatest Generation" was replaced with the Baby Boomers, who collectively are the most selfish, greedy generation of all time and who shaped the country into what it is right now and it ain't good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a stab at it: Another name for Millennial is "Echo Boomer" because they echo their Boomer parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, whatever generation followed the baby boomers may fit your assessment more accurately. They are the 40 somethings parents that are "beasties" with their kids and try and fit in with them as much as they can. I'm a 1963 kid and I think that or 64 were the last of the boomers. I think the offenders are generation jones or something like that. I hold out a lot of hope for these millennials, sure they have an augmented sense of reality, but they are innovative with technology and taking risks with what was once considered "cottage industries" Edit, I guess I am generation Jones. I didn't realize generation x came so quickly after boomers /Jonesers. Edited January 9, 2018 by The Poojer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hold out a lot of hope for these millennials, sure they have an augmented sense of reality, but they are innovative with technology and taking risks with what was once considered "cottage industries" I was born in 1968. My siblings born '63, '64, & '72. I bend more Boomer than Gen X. I also hold out hope and promise. Yet, taking risks with "cottage industries" and tech goes hand in hand with that augmented sense of reality and will only get them so far. Once the bodies start breaking down, that sense of reality will really hit home and be the greatest liability. Better hope they have their Boomer parents to fall back on. How many are doing it now? Grandparents basically raising the grandchildren. 33 minutes ago, The Poojer said: Edit, I guess I am generation Jones. I didn't realize generation x came so quickly after boomers /Jonesers.

How many people today would live in the same house their whole life? Yeah... It is a shame they don't make them like that anymore! "Fulmer lived a quiet life in that house for nearly all of his remaining years. It wasn't until the final six weeks of his life that he had to move to the VA Hospital in Syracuse, Lynet said." People simply aren't satisfied enough anymore... They are pre-occupied with so many other things. How many actually nail down a lifetime marriage? Yet, we want to go back to the days of being satisfied of living a whole lifetime in the same small house. There's a lot of give and take here that people today simply don't understand oe care to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
