The greatest generation was the last great generations. Baby boomers started the decline, my generation continued it. Y, is just going to shit on it. Hopefully the one after that gets tired of the BS and sacrifices something to correct the problems.

IT's perception, not reality.

People haven't changed. The world has changed around them.

I think it's ****ed that generation Y has been fighting and dying in foreign wars for the past 12 years and then listen to morons tell them how they're ruining it.

The whole generational breakdown is ****ing stupid anyway. A person born in 1978 has a helluva lot more in common with someone born in 1982 than they do someone born in 1965.

This whole conversation is based on a false premise and is simpy a means to yell 'get those kids offa my lawn!"

Yup. For every one of those premises, Gen Y can throw a few back. Why are we moving at a snail's pace to get our company digital, social, and mobile? Why do we continue to insist on an 8 to 8 office culture when you can knock several of those remote? Why do we have leaders who continue to pump money into typical sales tactics and not embracing sales enabled by technology? Why does my company not embrace moving around to different roles and jobs?

Gen Y has plenty of blind spots. They're too easily distracted, have short attention spans, and lack basic life and social skills for most generations at that age. But they also have a frustratingly lack of power to change companies that refuse to adopt to a new environment.

Your defense is that Y has been fighting in a foreign wars? That encompasses less than what? a tenth of one percent? Not lumping in all of them. But your generation has the welfare/dependent on government/vote strictly democrat class. That shit is going to be tough to break. I mean when you can get the equivalent of 40k a year?

The serving is exception not the norm, thankyou if you did.


I want a generation to take back America, cut down on greed a little bit. Reign in corporations and politicians while voting. Hell, create a new voting party. The older generations will not take part unless there is some major like a civil war.
