Millennials

[chicoazul]

Not that you're one bit arsed but I said I'd hold my comments on Millennials. It's time.

I like them. I like them a lot. A generation that has been thrust into adulthood and sold out by their elders with so little reason for optimism or hope, yet they display lots of positivity. Compared to the generations above I find them erudite, witty and enduring.

I like the way they mock the ceremonial nonsense of those older in them, and the nonsense bureaucracy that they were born into. They call this "yer dar" behaviour and they nail it, we're cringey bells for the most part and they call us out on it. "Because that's the way it's always been" has no place in the world of the millennials if it's daft and outdated they don't want to know about it.

The millennials have a great value on people and the planet around them. They place value on shared experiences and thankless tasks of generosity. They aren't short in displaying their feelings (even if it is through sleeve tattoos you bells) and it gives me hope that they seem more engaged with politics than the generation above them. Maybe they can help shape a better political future for their kids than we managed for our own. Bigotry has no place with the vast majority of millennials, the world has far less borders than older people see it with.

The millennials I chat wham to on here and in real life are in general great kids with sharp humour and depreciation. I reckon they're sent to save us from ourselves.

what about canuckblue's lawn though?!?!?

it's that sort of "bigger picture" thinking that can only come with old age

Pop a link to this in the oldies thread so all those piss stained old boys can come in and tell all the millennials what a bunch of tarts they are.

You're all a bunch of tarts.......

Which generation voted for Brexit?

Which generation votes Conservative?

Which generation left the country in the mess that it is today?

Certainly wasn't Millennials.

Correct, it was the generations that actually know what they are doing......

 

[peteblue]

Very easy for the older people on here to rabbit on about how the young want everything handed to them, when they're the ones who got houses on the cheap and now expect the youth to pick up the pensions tab.

What cheap houses would they be then. My first house cost me 5x my salary. My daughters first house cost her 5x her salary. I paid for my pension(s) many times over and rely on no one to pay for me......you can keep your money......

 

[peteblue]

Again that's the fault of the generation that sit and smugly judge. They created this problem to begin with.

That's it, accept no responsibility for anything. And you wonder why the older generations look at you with contempt.....

Surely that's the fault of parents and society, can hardly blame kids for growing up and wanting games consoles that adverts tell them to want and that parents will buy.

we bought our first house for £55k, after spending £1300 a month on rent on a flat in London, it's irrelevant, just like your bollocks about wanting games consoles etc.

In fact I grew up in a household where we never wanted for anything essential, food, clothes etc but I always wanted more expensive trabs or a better bike. It's human nature.

Whilst we currently don't want for anything vital in our lives we've given up stuff like going the match, meals out every week etc because we know despite both having decent jobs we're only a couple of pay days away from being in trouble.

I'll be honest, we work fkn hard for our money and I *do* see the people in my street with a brand new car and designer clobber when I know for a fact they've never worked in their life and think 'am I a mug?' But then I take the dog for a walk and see some poor bugger without a pot to piss in who isn't playing the system, I'd rather pay into a pot for those people and have one or two abuse it than see those who desperately do need it go without.



I don't begrudge anyone, anyone making it good but what grates me is when they pull the ladders up behind them, and I see that in L4 as well, worse than Tories, them.

The trouble with our generation mate, spelling and grammar weren't considered important.

That's the trouble with our generation mate, neither spelling nor grammar are considered important.

I can't be having those hipster haircuts mate. That's a massive deal breaker

A proud child of the seventies bro. Don't envy my superior DNA. Get off your arse and get into a zero hour contract you lazy scruff.

Zero hour contracts are way too long for some of them......

 

[John23]

To be fair I don't think work ethic is their major problem. Its more they just can't take abuse off us seventies crowd. I had to take it when I was their age. Deal with it. Sure we didn't even have mobile phones ffs. World was probably a better place in terms of human interaction

I reckon they handle the continual abuse from our generation pretty well. In fact they suck it up too much. They need to be mo fie back to us.

Happy birthday Pete x

Birthdays? Horrible EU nonsense that, when Peter was a nipper his birthday present was a clip round the ear from his dad and his ma baking her own Eccles ceeerks.


And that's if he was lucky.
