    Ok, so I was generalizing based on my own experiences with the lions share of 20 somethings that I interact with.
    I live in Solsberry and most of the young folks I talk to are from Bloomington... The Liberal oasis in a red-neck desert :^)

    True that the younger folks have been fighting our wars and that most of them are patriots.There are also a lot of conservative youngsters on INGO. I was just lamenting those that I seem to be surrounded by who are championing Socialism.

    Where's my wallet? Wallet Lives Matter. I heard by the time your 30 you were to have shaken off the socialism you were raised in as your parents provided everything for you till you reached around the age of 16 and got your first taste of work and your own money. Then as you got older and gained more freedoms with age you were supposed to become more conservative as you were to see socialism is a failed concept. Then again with the way things are today I don't see most of my generation reaching that level of critical thinking and common sense till around 40-45.

    While it is true enough that many millennials support some unsound policy, it is also important to remember that today their chief manipulator is old enough to tell us about the War of 1812 from personal experience.

    What is it with the 45 year olds today. They work their a***s off to save a little money, make a nice life for their family and send 4 kids to college, but they get all bent out of shape when they're told that any success they've had is the result of government largess, not their work. They act indignant when they're told that it's only fair that they put OTHER people's kids through college. They're not even mad at corporations and employers for not being more ashamed of the being the driving force in the economy.

    Bastards.

    I will say millenials kind of being it upon themselves. The overwhelming number of beta males make them really easy to pick on.

    Bastards.

    50 year olds are even worse. After getting the kids through school they then have to deal with taking care of ungrateful aging parents. Damn ungrateful aging parents that forged the way for their rotten 50 year old kids success.

    Then again with the way things are today I don't see most of my generation reaching that level of critical thinking and common sense till around 40-45.

    See, they actively discourage that critical thinking stuff in school now. They learned that it works against their goals and thus punish it early and often.
    And common sense? It's not so common anymore (actually pretty rare), and they're breeding that out at an exponential rate.

    Just what we need, another thread to bash the young people. What generations gave us Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Medicare Part D, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, assault weapons bans, GCA of 1968, FOPA of 1986, and a skyrocketing national debt? It sure wasn't the millennials.

    That would be my lever pulling Democrat voting stuck in a rut dumbass parents...their parents and so on.

    Nuff said.
