Trout is absolutely savage. I might have to rethink my gerbil alliance."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

If generallizing babyboomers in that way is bad, maybe we shouldn't be doing that to millenials either.
I just read an article about how millenials have higher rates of anxiety, depression, and personality disorders and also grew up with less time to develop a strong bond with a care-taker, more daycare, less parental involvement, and were raised with different approaches to parenting than the generation(s) before.
I usually find the talk about millennials being immature, entitled, snowflake-y, etc. pretty funny, and I'm a part of the target audience. Maybe I'm an extremely atypical millennial, or maybe aggressive political rhetoric has jaded me, but I don't see what the big deal is.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

FWIW, I'm sure you did

An interesting question when does concern turn into micromanagement and paranoia?

You object as though you were taking the mention of boomers personally and try to personally defend yourself.
You have no problem with general statements (for whatever purposes) against millennials.
You have no problem making comments/jokes/whatever that is at the expense of another poster.

I did take offence for my generation because that's how I read the op.
I also said that each generation is responsible for their own shortcomings.
I also never said, at any time, that I didn't have problems with blanket statements about millennials, for whatever purposes. That's why I made the original statement in my first post in this thread about each generation being responsible for themselves.
I WAS teasing you. You should get over yourself and lighten up a little.
