duncan124: You implied in your first post that generation "y" did not want to live.
That is your mistake.

Comrade_: Duncan speaks like this all the time, you'd get use to what he types eventually. I doubt he means it in an insulting way, as confusing as he is at times. Take him in strides.

USEtheUSER: Yeah...I see...good point, all of you.

I remember, there was a girl that I used to know...a type (Y) generation, with large ( .Y. ) a really pretty one...but...she was with her both "left hands"(lazy dolly)
Than, one day she said to me...

"How about...I move in to your place"?

I said "No, cause I can not live with "the pretty picture, I will call you for sex, its okay"

After that...She vanished...

I was, saved...

kritz0: I didn't read past the first few posts, but...I don't think anyone above 21 should be included in that. I know personally I'm disgusted by this occupy movement generation.

They expect things to be handed to them on a silver platter while they sit on their lazy ass while everyone else works their ass off. As if they just DESERVE those things without contributing to the economy. Those kids shouldn't be included in the general consensus of people who actually have a mindset beyond a 12 year old.

Like these new kids emerging now also, calling the head of Canada's current government a dictator....WHAT? LOL... These.idiots have no idea how life would be if we WERE living under a dictatorship. They wouldn't be able to have the resources....balls to say anything against the government...let alone any of the other stupid stunts they are pulling.

All that aside...I definitely see this stereotype with the younger ones....buttttt I'm sure every generation has had their "group" of idiots who expect things that make no sense towards actual growth not only to themselves but the economy. Funny writeup though.

carolinagirl2: If i'm not mistaken, US did have some mad cow disease; however, because we have regulations and watchdogs, it was much easier for the US to isolate and get rid of the diseased animals.

Far as Generational stuff, I'm in the baby boomer era -- for whatever that's worth.

Kinda long, but:

THIS WAS COPIED FROM A FB FRIEND'S STATUS, AND IT'S AWESOME!!!!!! TAKE TWO MINUTES TO READ IT, AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! Checking out at the grocery store recently, the young cashier suggested I should bring my own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. I apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days." The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations." She was right about one thing -- our generation didn't have the green thing in “Our” day. So what did we have back then…? After some reflection and soul-searching on "Our" day here's what I remembered we did have.... Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles repeatedly. So they really were recycled. But we didn't have the green thing back in our day. We walked up stairs, because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was right. We didn't have the green thing in our day. Back then, we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right. We didn't have the green thing back in our day. Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But she's right. We didn't have the green thing back then. We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didn't have the green thing back then. Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus, and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint. But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then? Please post this on your Facebook profile so another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smarty-pants young person can add to this...
Dont forget we played out side all hours of the day with friends and toys instead of on phones and game boxes!!
