    I'm 50, so I guess Genxer......they (boomers) and I are ornery because we are the greatest generation....lmao! There's a big difference between the modern day hippies (hipsters and millenials) and the boomer flower children. I hope we never see another conflict as bad as the Vietnam war. I'm not a big fan of the lazy millenials, but there are a lot of very successful millennials as well. My wife is quite a bit younger than I am and I can assure you there is no lack of work ethic in her or her circle of friends. They (millenials) are all doing very well and I am happy to have them as friends. Today's socio economic climate is much different than it was when I was growing up. I just wish more of this generation would consider trades careers instead of wasting $150k on useless educations for jobs that just are not available and don't provide a living wage.

    poll taken from a random group of 1500 millennials?.........but as a 40’s baby boomer I find my tolerance for bs would barely budge the needle!

    I heard the other day that there's a new trend with these nature programs to stop showing animals eating other animals because it's offensive to younger generation audiences... hypersensitivity? I don't think there's any comparison.

    put people into classes, then pit the classes against each other and you fractionalize the population making it easier stop any uprisings against central authority.

    -and then, you boomers decided to give trophies to everyone, win or lose. Who exactly do you think was running everything when they stopped keeping score?

    Can’t speak for hypersensitivity, but it sure seems most every generation represented in this thread is pretty good at denial and finger pointing.
