Re: Can't blame them for wanting a life
Its always "the best of times, the worst of times" and the sniveling shits the women and marxists made of so many of them is hard to get through to. I was never "wellll....you know about..." Apologetic for the rot. I mocked it and the pc the whole way and maintained that the world's worth was about the same as its taste, class and ethics. Whatever was good or worthy, they needed to be making it or finding it for thier selves.

Thankfully, I had boys and they can keep a lid on that shit, be knights and live longer. What a great deal!

I was fully prepared to surrender all and still will, when they are ready? If thats what they find? If they can manage better, good on em?

But they are either doing about as well as anybody could be in thier condition & circumstances, or they are "follower" angry, lazy, dope soaked mean bird and that I won't have around. They can act nobility or go live off gays and hell of em. Pretty much chivalry order or go get eaten for my part.
(If I had not been like that, they'd be living off gays instead of revolted.)

Once (20 yrs ago) one was going to be radical and "tear shit up!" He was too cultured for a dumb wigger, but not happy enough to avoid the angry slacker hype.
He was getting ready to leave and because I loved travel and new adventure, I said "Where do you think you will go?" He looked at me and said "Far away from you" and I laughed and said "thats probably a good idea"

Off he went. Spent about a year doing stupid shit and "revenge" and somehow it was not really for him after all. The last I saw was him in overalls beside a river I figured was the niangua we played on when they were little.
His brother is a shakesawyer last I knew and he bops back and forth between denver and kc according to the seasons of his money. He would still rather manage a band but guess he hasn't found one he thought might fly. Those jobs are not easy to "find".
Niether are living with gays.
So I won, don't tell anybody!

Re: Can't blame them for wanting a life
The school my kids go to is #1 in my state for suicides, #3 in the nation.

They brought in some Climate Change END OF THE WORLD guy because, I guess we are going for #1 in the nation.

When my kids leave this school, I'm going to have a talk with the superintendent.

My oldest said that they keep having these suicide discussions and saying things like "if you see someone that isn't smiling, get involved, maybe let us know". My kid is like, that is me, the ones they need to watch out for are the ones that are always smiling, then they get that thousand mile stare. I can almost tell you who is next".

We need to have a debate, whether the left likes it or not, if they don't show up, someone can play devil's advocate for them.

We need to end political agenda as science in this country once and for all.
 Quoting: HarshingMyMellow


hesright

My wife is a high-school counselor. She has suicide threats weekly! I don't remember anybody ever threatening suicide in my high school or others during my time.

Is it the SSRI withdrawal?

Re: Can't blame them for wanting a life
They whine about not finding a job, or the job doesn't pay enough, but they still scream about wanting open boarders and they want to be socialist. They won't listen and refuse to study real history because if they do then are proven wrong. They follow along like sheep and lemmings and cry when they fall off the cliff. If they really wanted a life and were willing to work for it then they would stop being so damn stupid.
 Quoting: Oldren


They are desperate for answers. Some want a formulaic recipe for success. There was a time, maybe the 40s and 50s when that might have worked. No more. You are on you own, Bubba.

 Quoting: Zenyatta


According to what?

What's the official agency who determines this?
 Quoting: Swayed


Well what is the agency that abolished gen x "a few years ago"? Of course their was a generation gap there. Of course they were the product of baby boomer parenting. This is a stupid argument.

Also to OP, I dont buy this at all. Basically we should understand that millennials are shit because we are realistic and they want to to have hope? How about you tell your millenials that you dont have a birth right to success. And success comes in different forms. But it is no longer 150K worth of college guarantees that executive job your parents had. And those degrees are still out there. So if you find money as your measure of success then quit getting stupid ass degrees. Get useful.

But the real truth is that good money can be made by getting your hands a little dirty. College is no longer the ultimate answer. But first and foremost we have to remember that we are the adult in this situation. We are supposed to guide them and be parents. Not friends. It isnt our job to make sure our kids are feeling happy every minute of the day. It is our job to make sure they live happy lives overall. And that will come by being decent humans and members of society. It will happen when they make enough money to move out of your basement.

Sure things change in time. But not the need to be productive citizens that consider others and not be self absorbed little shits.
 Quoting: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot


Well, I don't think that you can realistically compare the societal and business landscape for the generation who endured the great depression with that enjoyed in the 1950s.

Every generation experienced challenges. But, if one were realistic, they would admit that some generations have an easier time getting to what we call success.

Also, most people are in denial about the implications that the end-of-empire status of the USA holds for our children.

I do wish them well. But, I'm glad that I won't be here to see it.
 Quoting: Roboto


I was not comparing the business landscape but the fact that adult responsibility has never changed. Society has expectations of participating individuals. And I am not speaking to conformity. Just the ability to not be a burden.

I am not sure about any end of empire status. But it is possible. However there is an entire world outside of our borders that are not the leading super power of the world. And they have the same community standards as any other.

Re: Can't blame them for wanting a life
How does someone get an apartment, just starting out, when every apartment wants to see rental history?

How does someone get a new job when every employer wants to see job history.

I'm asking this objectively of course, i'm a grown man with a job and an apartment.

Just playing devils advocate here.
 Quoting: Swayed


I agree. It seems that the "system" is stacked. It is easy for me to say, "Do what your father did. Get a job, sir."

But, the landscape was different then. I waltzed into college and got an engineering degree. I worked while I attended, but I could pay my semester tuition with two-weeks wages. There was no competition from the rest of the world, when I had three job offers upon graduation.

My daughter had to go to graduate school to get a professional job. She has $150,000 of education debt.

Many people with masters degrees are working for $15.00/hr.
 Quoting: Roboto


wow, 150k in school debt. That's a dam tragedy in of itself.

Re: Can't blame them for wanting a life
Peace comes from NOT APPEASING the enemy! You don't behave leniently towards people who want to destroy you and your culture. Millenials need to learn to buck up if they want a more secure future. If they don't toughen up, they'll get decimated by the more aggressive breeds of humans and by those who strive for licentious freedom. Nice post though!

Re: Can't blame them for wanting a life
Millennials today, see the dark side. Maybe they are more realists that we are.
 Quoting: Roboto


Millennials and boomers, and Gen Y, etc, need to be more upfront about politics and ideology. The tradition of not talking politics and religion - of not being upfront about liberal and conservative - in order to avoid angering, embarrassing or humiliating people has to come to an end.

One major reason our society has become so screwed up is because of a sense that honesty and rationality take a back seat to "I feel your pain---I want to be nicey-nicey, huggy-huggy."

The fact most cities and countries full of despair, misery, corruption, crime and violence are dominated by a left-leaning mindset - not a right-leaning one - is ignored or discounted by too many people.

When everyone starts realizing that mindless liberal feelings in people do not reflect niceness and kindness is when a society will have a "a-ha" moment.

 Quoting: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot


Yes, the community standards may be the same. But, our short lives are like ripples on a big wave. The wave carries us where it goes. Look at what is going on in Venezuela. I have met many of them - good people to a person - family oriented. Yet, they had little choice in the pathology of that country. Will they every recover? Not during their lifetimes, nor those of their children.

"Its French-built metro – like its restaurants, galleries and museums – was the envy of the region. “Caracas was such a vibrant city … You truly felt, as we used to say around here, in the first world,” says Ana Teresa Torres, a Caraqueña author whose latest book is a diary of her home’s demise."

It's like they told us right from the start how they are doing it, and that wow - they can! And anything goes.

The things they mention are repeating now - It's how they did it and continue to do it. Like - when you look up some of those names, it's so apparent. Lady Mendl? It's the original Lady Gaga!

 Quoting: •Ice Cream•


^^ This ^^

I don't really understand the obsession over categorizing generational differences. For one, we're all just people. For two, each generation is literally a product (and therefore a responsibility of) the previous generation so when you knock the generations who come after you, you are really knocking your own generation's ability at producing capable human beings.

I will say that, as a millennial, I was brought up to believe that our nation would more or less take care of you as an individual if you put forth your best effort. Not that you would get everything for free, but that there was some common decency in the world and that you wouldn't have to be a cut throat fucking asshole 24/7 and help be part of the further degradation of our species and society.

Yes, there was some genuine butt hurt amongst us millennials initially at realizing the world is actually a cold hearted biatch lol. Now, looking around, we are all mostly working and doing the best we can with the obvious exceptions of course. Looking back at my parents generation, the hippies, I'd say my generation did the best we could lol.

The destruction of the family unit.

Males didn't have to "man up" and take care of the kid they made. Women didn't have to choose wisely for who she spread her legs for

The almighty state was right there to make sure the family was destroyed by bleeding taxes out of actual functioning families to pay for it all.

The almighty state was right there to make sure the family was destroyed by bleeding taxes out of actual functioning families to pay for it all.

Re: Can't blame them for wanting a life
No, I'm not talking about the Guatemalans.

I'm talking about our own millennials - all of them. I say our own, because I am the father of one.

I have been critical of them for their ignorance, not stupidity, but lack of drive to experience & learn - their seeming lack of natural curiosity.

Also, I have misunderstood their tendency to be PC. It took a while for me to understand. The turning point was when, I picked my daughter up from high school one day. I was listening to an audio discussing discovery of new planets. (But, I had frequently listened to prepper stuff.)

When she got into the car, she said, "I don't want to hear that end-of-the-world shit!".

I thought WTF? But, later, I understood. I am a realist and I had tried to transfer some understanding of "the way things really are" to her over the years. The problem is, I have lived my life. I had opportunities, and a relatively stable culture in which to pursue them.

Boomers experienced the American Dream. Sure, some of us went to Vietnam, and suffered the disillusionment of realizing that our government really does not value individual lives of it's citizens. Yet, we thought that we were serving a righteous purpose. And we did so willingly.

Millennials today, see the dark side. Maybe they are more realists that we are. They don't see a bright road ahead.
So, they strike a psychological bargain, to be able to cope. The whistle past the graveyard with their PC behavior, in hope that by placating all discontented parties, everything will be OK. And, just maybe, they will have time for a real life while they are on this planet.

There is hope.

But, we cannot expect positive change during our lifetimes.

the solution is simple really: determine who is really to blame for our problems and deal with them.

Yes we are part of the problem as well.

Um there's no such thing as gen x.

You are either boomer or millenial.

This was changed a few years back.
 Quoting: Swayed


not too fucking bright are you

generations are not 50 fucking years you stupid dumbass

they are 20-ish years

I was born in 1965

I am a gen xer

Gen Y came next then the millennials

My values are not the same as the boomers. The values of Gen Y are not the same as mine. The values of millennials are completely different as well. The newest generation ..."Z" I guess are more conservative and the millennials are f*cking hating that
 Quoting: Manosteel


^^ All just your opinion of course ^^ unless you are able to provide some sort of evidence that proves the wants, needs, and desires of millennials or any other generation is really that vastly different from any previous generation.

At the end of the day, each generation needed/needs/and will need;

-food
-water
-shelter from elements

Remove any one of those things and see how much any one would care about silly generational break-downs.
 Quoting: BillLumbergh


What was removed was actual teaching in the classroom.

graduating class after graduating class walk out the doors with a high school diploma and most of them can't think for themselves. They have been taught to memorize wonderfully but actual critical thinking, logic, reason and problem solving skilles are not being taught to them

actual history is not being taught as well.

Communism is now being taught as a viable form of socio-economic governance...and the generations that have been taught this swallowed it whole. They are completely ignorant to the 100 of millions it has murdered.

Communism is the antithesis to liberty, free thought and free will....your God Given freewill.

Why do I suspect you are one of those millenials that do not know history and probably think that communism is viable and could work the next time

Also, there were about 2.5 billion people in 1950 as compared to the nearly 8 billion we have now, and which is of course projected to grow exponentially.

We think we've seen crazy, we think we're already in the end times...

Shit man, an eternal spirit would be telling all of us to be living it the fuck up right now because we haven't seen shit yet.

^^ This ^^

I don't really understand the obsession over categorizing generational differences. For one, we're all just people. For two, each generation is literally a product (and therefore a responsibility of) the previous generation so when you knock the generations who come after you, you are really knocking your own generation's ability at producing capable human beings.

I will say that, as a millennial, I was brought up to believe that our nation would more or less take care of you as an individual if you put forth your best effort. Not that you would get everything for free, but that there was some common decency in the world and that you wouldn't have to be a cut throat fucking asshole 24/7 and help be part of the further degradation of our species and society.

Yes, there was some genuine butt hurt amongst us millennials initially at realizing the world is actually a cold hearted biatch lol. Now, looking around, we are all mostly working and doing the best we can with the obvious exceptions of course. Looking back at my parents generation, the hippies, I'd say my generation did the best we could lol.

Heh, then you don't know me well. In fact, this millennial just left you some green karma for a previous comment you made that was exactly spot on.

You made a stupid comment man, just own it. Communism is gay as fuck, why even bring it up? You certainly are cocked and ready to make vast, sweeping judgements against other people, aren't you?

Hmmm...

Re: Can't blame them for wanting a life
How does someone get an apartment, just starting out, when every apartment wants to see rental history?

How does someone get a new job when every employer wants to see job history.

I'm asking this objectively of course, i'm a grown man with a job and an apartment.

Just playing devils advocate here.
 Quoting: Swayed


Entry level jobs provide the work hiatory. My grand daighter started at McDonalds, promoted to manager, got a job at the post office on the strength of McDonalds, promoted to post office supervisor job because she did a good job as an employee. She decided against college in order to work.My grand sons have worked pizza place and as farm laborer and both been promoted. Now one will graduate with bachelors in chemistry and the other is working on masters in chemistry. They both work summers.

You get a work history by first working a crummy job, showing up for work on time every day and not slacking off, doing what the boss tells you to do. Then you have a recommendation for the next one.

I keep hearing that it doesn't work like that any more, but my grandkids prove you wrong.

My grandkids either shared apartments with other kids, like we used to do, or stayed home until out of school,

Those situations were met by young people in the past. The difference is now kids haven't known the process and it blind sides them. As a society, we have somewhere (school?) given them the wrong idea.
