I'm just curious to know why you judge this generation as snowflakes, weak, lacking in maturity and why you question eveything we do, as if the world is the same place as it was 30 years ago.

I don't know. I'm on the cusp of baby boomer and gen x. I don't think there is anything wrong with millennials. I do remember that many of the (greatest) generation that gave birth to and raised the boomers saw those kids as weak, lacking in maturity, etc... .
Speaking as one...some Boomers complain about everybody and everything. Not all, just some. Likewise, some Millennials were born, or acquired, a chip on their shoulder or are extra sensitive. Not all, just some. But there is legitimate ground for criticism both ways. I tend to side part way with Millennials, not because there is unfair criticism from anywhere ( I agree with some of it...their music mostly sucks) but because they are saddled with some longterm burdens that will negatively impact their lives. You can't blame the Boomers for all of that but there is a political party that starts with 'R' that has been the major beneficiary of kicking the can down the road for decades. Things haven't been getting done or maybe haven't been paid for and the bills are gonna come due for the Millennials. On top of that, the economic inequality gap is getting worse. Some lucky young folks will live better than their parents but many Millennials, maybe most, won't. Almost all of the safeguards that were put in place to support and protect the middle class and workers have been stripped away. Now they are working on social security and what passes for healthcare in this country. There is always that diversionary and divisive strategy at work by those in real power and generational quarrels is just one part of it.

Thank you.
cause some of us are getting older and more cranky than we used to be and hate change!
As for me,I am disliking government,lack of respect for others , and my body aging more.
I am heartened by the fact that next generations continue to be involved in bettering this country

Reason: Please do not bring this topic into a thread that has NOTHING to do with it
The older generation has always complained about the younger generation. The internet just makes it more pervasive.
