Generational Differences: Millenials vs. Everone Else

[hashtag45]

Blah, blah, blah.

Every generation complains about subsequent ones.

Boring.

I'm not sure whether this thread was just a bit of fun or a "lets bash millennial's" adventure but the post at the top of this page is broadly correct.

I have unfortunately heard far too many times in my relatively short life older folks blaming my generation for all of societies ills, this truly irks me since
most of these ills are either directly or indirectly related to decisions that were taken before myself and many in my generation were even born let alone of an age to wield any political influence.

What's worse its my generation are paying the biggest price for these bad decisions. I don't want to turn this into a generational war but some older folks really need to take some responsibility and stop pawning off their own failures.

Good points too.

Horrible at writing and not very good at face to face communication.

Good in math, exceptional technological ability.

Their parents have done them a disservice by being too involved and overprotective. This has led to increased entitlement, the need for instant gratification, and not seeking alternatives to challenges.

Many are caring and compassionate for those less fortunate than themselves.

This thread will admittedly cater to the Americans, but of course all are welcome to join.

Do you have strong opinions about Millenials? What attributes would you use to describe the Millennials in your life? In the event that you have Millenials in the workplace, how would you describe their contribution?

For the purpose of this discussion, Millenials are defined as the generation born after 1982 and before the year 2000.

Ugh: the poll name should be 'with which generation do you identify'. I'm tired.

I didn't vote. Had you turned it around and asked which I DON'T prefer the answer would have been easy. The tail end of the millennials and the early Homeland suck. Whinny little bitches. No sense of humor and so filled with self-entitlement that's it's not amusing in the least. Mostly "Bridesillas" regardless of gender.

Interesting...

Millennials have more education

Yeah, free gender studies degrees with minors in interpretive lesbian dance theory for everyone!

more disposable income

Most of these clowns work minimum wage jobs and use welfare.

and brighter futures than any generation before them.

Yeah, a glorious future of working on the Zionist's NWO corporate plantation...

 

[sigh]

Something like 1.8 million students graduate with bachelor degrees in the US each year. Of those, maybe 1500 receive a degree in women's (or gender) studies. Do the math if you can. It's a very small percentage.

Why those 1500 stoke the souls of conservatives to burn so hotly is beyond me.

Throw in those that study 'Classical (read that as dead) Languages. Social workers, education (now there's an oxymoron) majors, and other societal hangers on and those numbers start tilting oh mother of my unborn child.

Darlin', you can be so OCD at times.

Hey, faggot!... Genders studies is an example of the stupid degrees that are being pumped out of these degree mills.

But they FEEL that its an issue, so for them its an issue.

Facts and figures never mattered much to that crowd.

When did you drop out?

 

[albertaboy]

I think all generations contain all types of people.

I am a young Baby boomer, born in 1963. I have two kids 27 & 23 both of whom are very hard workers and comfortable with technology although they don't work in the tech industry.

Some millenials have short attention spans, but some Baby boomers are stupid.

Don't think you can draw any conclusions other than comfort with technology.

If you think social workers are "hangers on", you really have no clue as to what they do. I work alongside them every day. They attend Critical Care Rounds the same as the clinical folks because in the trenches, they are valued. Same with educators. They are valued. Classical languages, maybe not so much to society as a whole, but they do have value to other disciplines.

You know that PhD stands for Doctor of Philosophy, right? What did you think they were studying all these centuries?

There're two too many letters in your descriptor.

In Ishtard world, and for many more geriatric conservatives, universities should only exist to churn out cogs for the corporate money making machines. Anything to do with quality of life or non-profit generating activities is anathema. It's a terrible, narrow minded, pathetic way to view the world.

Your comment might have been considered but when you start it with "Hey faggot!" I find it hard to read any further. You are just silly.

 

[Real_American17]

I haven't. When did you fall in?

...

Typical SJW, millennial, twat behavior... don't like my words, dismiss my argument.

I know how to deal with worthless degenerates like you. One more troll for the oven...

My goodness I have seemed to have touched a nerve. Thank you for addressing a millennial twat and worthless degenerate like me. I will go jump in the oven and will you shower for even being on the same internet as me?

But since you put me on ignore you won't even see this comment. I would hate to live in the fear you do.

I'm an older millennial. Born in 85. I think people who whine about my generation as if generations mean anything are hilarious and just having some sort of crisis over the fact that they are getting older. Has nothing to do with generation issues. Some people suck, some don't, age has nothing to do with it. Hopefully, I am able to remain emotionally stable enough to avoid suffering through the same self identity issues once my kids are grown.

Interesting. I have a few questions for you:

How important is being successful in a high-paying career or profession to you personally? (very, somewhat not at all)

In the past 12 months, have you contacted a government official, or not? (could have been in person, by phone, by letter, by sending an email, or posting a message on their website or social networking page) (y/n)

Are you on FaceBook or LinkedIN? (y/n)

How important is living a very religious life to you personally? (very, somewhat not at all)

Were your parents married during most of the time you were growing up, or not? (were/ were not)

Do you have a tattoo, or not?

Are you peirced any place besides your earlobes?

The questions seem arbitrary. What might I hope to glean from this quiz?

Take it

 

[Christobal]

Take it

There is no where to take it. Other than here on the board and I guess you will be grading it? I think I will pass on that.

I find the same type of mix.
Essentially, I see a split in the M gen.
Those who got degrees, and those who chose trades type jobs.
The degreed group in general are self entitled, not very motivated, poor communicators, and see the need to be very politically correct.

The trades M's are engaging, versitile, happier, very motivated to advance, and many are quite I intelligent with their overall lives.

As a mid boomer, most of the M gen would be my grandchildren.

I wonder which generation you're in
