I'm a member of this generation this is probably true. It deeply saddens me.

On behalf of the majority of us, I apologize. Those of us who are against all this shit are doing our best to reverse the process

Hey man, there are some of us that aren't SJW zombies. I was born in '90 (as were several of my co-workers). I'm pretty far-right and I know several who fall between that and moderate-right. A lot of our generation sucks but, hey, at least some of us resisted the herd mentality of social justice. I'm pretty political and I know a lot of people in my (very white) town. My best guess is that more young-adults in my areas are conservative-leaning, at least. I'd put it at 60-40.

I would say the baby boomers deserve the blame if anything.

Baby boomers who made college High School 2.0 where you have to pay directly?

This is what you get for not being able to give your kid a good paddle whip when they were being little shitheads. Now you have to coddle them, protect their precious fee fee's at every turn, feed them quinoa & kale, make them drink that hipster kombucha shit, or someone will call CPS on you. I'm only 24, but damn do I remember getting that paddle/wooden spoon/whatever else square on the ass. My dad even made us decorate the paddle.

that's actually how you're supposed to raise a child. Idk where this pansy raising came from. Hell, even animals do it.

Shoot, I'm 25. My dad did the same thing. That or, if it was a more minor infraction, I had to stand in the corner, on one leg, with my arms outstretched. And my paternal grandma? She was even worse. Had to go out in the woods and search for a good swatting stick. If it wasn't good enough of one I still got the lick but it only counted for 'practice'. xD

if this generation somehow does worse than what the baby boomer generation did, than i would be surprised.
[–] leweb 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Never say it can't be worse. That's a challenge to the universe.

... said by every generations previous generation.

Except there's valid reasoning behind what they're saying and whether or not what you're saying is true is irrelevant. As someone as put it, there's too many "special snowflakes."
[–] lag051183 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
My point is that every generation, the previous one was certain that they were going to be the destroyers of america. Just as certain as you are now. There is certainly too many "special snowflakes" but it's highly unlikely that the small amount of them will destroy america, especially since a decent portion of them will end up facing reality. Last generations anti-establishment hippies are now CEO's and stock traders.

I am a minority of 1 and would like to ban all speech on alcohol (whether for or against).
Thank you for respecting and protecting my feelings.
