What Is "Generation Y" ? SnoValley: What Is "Generation Y" ? I've always wondered this myself... And Now I know ! People born before 1946 were called The Silent Generation. The Baby Boomers are those born between 1946 and 1959. Generation X people have been born between 1960 and 1979. Generation Y were born between 1980 and 2010 Why do we call the last group Generation Y? Y should I get a job ? Y should I leave home and find my own place ? Y should I get a car when I can borrow yours ? Y should I clean my room ? Y should I wash and iron my own clothes ? Y should I buy any food ? Comrade_: Generation Y, the rebellious generation. Y should we have a dictator? Y are food prices so high? Y not make that new technology? Y not? SnoValley: NO dictator In United States we have a PRESIDENT, voted by the PEOPLE High Food Prices....Blame the Middle EAST.....GAS.... TECHNOLOGY.....is growning In here.... Answered YOUr questions........WHY.?.......... Comrade_: Yes I'm aware of the US' political system but Generation Y extends to the rest of the world. Don't only look at the US. All rhetorical questions, meaning we've addressed social issues example the 'occupy protest'. We've dealt with political issues and dictators as 'the Arab spring'. Also improve on technology. (Edited by Comrade_) Robert50: I´m glad to be a Baby Boomer .... I ´m from the W generation: We have a Job We left Home We Bought a Car We Clean our Room I We wash our Clothes We Bought Food and we Cooked it We tried to make a Better world for Further Generations .. and Look what Happened .. the Y Generation turned up, and think they know it all !!!!!!!!! Comrade_: Sad thing is the Y Generation might grow up and start being condescension to the next Generation. Without realising that each generation rebelled and did their mess in their time... Robert50: Jack this article was meant more as a joke, I think you should take life a bit more Relaxed it help´s so much .... ~LoisLane~: Im Generation X too (thank god) I dont think Jack was being all serious to the bone tho. I think he was just sayin..... duncan124: " y should I buy any food?" Which generation was responsible for the BSE disaster? Who put sheep and pigs into cattle food? - it is food supplements for cattle in cold weather or when they are hungry that stops TB in cattle rather then killing other things. duncan124: oh yes ...and who stopped BSE,wiped it of the map, put an end to it...until the next time they start it up again? SnoValley: Duncan. Excuse me but I do NOT know what the BSE disaster is ...Enlighten me please...... duncan124: No sno it was everywhere. Perhaps there was n,t much cattle left in the USA. Everywhere else had why did n,t you? I noticed the Govt paper(PDF) that went along with the announcement of the killing of badgers also failed to mention the Govt efforts to stop BSE by paying farmers for the distruction of their herds and instead laughably said there was an outbreak of foot in mouth in 2001. Not a word about the experiences of John Majors and Tony Blairs fights with BSE. SnoValley: Duncan, it probably happened when I was working...I did not pay attention to Current Events....sorry.. SnoValley: Duncan MY friend Lady Kane just sent this to me... http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn91-bse-disaster-the-history.html (Post deleted by SnoValley ) | Off Topic Chat Room Similar Conversations |
