things you admire in millenials
Feb 13th, 2017 at 3:39pm
 
1. more of them take care of their bodies than my generation, with planned fitness, non-smoking, eating.
There are many exceptions of course and I hope it's all not just another fad.

2. young women don't as a rule take putting down crap from people, don't let themselves be condescended to like women once did. I'm old enough to remember, for instance, when women would stand outside a pub waiting for their husband to bring them a drink. Can you believe that?
I hope this is generally true and not just a misconception on my part.

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

I can see it being more the other way these days...lol..

times have changed.. mostly for the better....not all though  I still think the old days had more class...

the male picked the girl up from her home and delivered her back after the movies....then if he missed the last bus he walked it.. the young men didnt have their own cars in my day,..lolol.

I've read recently that millennials don't like gambling at lot, they are not addicted to casinos. Probably they choose video games Smiley

I am Gen X - er who was, until recently, part of a team at work that consisted of myself and 3 Millennials. They are gone and I am running the show. Never again.

What is the age group for millenials? Does it include people around 20-25? If so that would include a couple of my sons, they may be looking after you in hospital or your national security. You'd be in good hands with either in their field. Youngest, RN, is a bit like I, is a bit of a politically incorrect lefty, he cares for for people deeply but doesn't give a rat's about irrational "feelings". 1996 Middle son is working with the MIC to secure our battlefield communications. Oldest 1988 I'm guessing is outside that millenial thing.

obviously, people born on the cusp of any generation probably don't fit the mould

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

I know some good ones then and not at all greedy but a little conditioned to what we gave them, consumerism. I've tried to talk it out of my kids though.

Although as a generation I can see they "expect" more than I ever did. It's a part of the consumerism thing. New car, I've never owned one, New or big house, mine have been modest. We do want our kids do better than we do though. I still tell the youngest.. Aircon! Why?

I feel so sorry for them that we 'the people" could not provide them a chance in life. They're buggered.
Nowhere to go now.

A man can't be a man and a woman can't be a woman. Women don't respect men and men don't respect women. Neither can buy shelter for their children.
They rely almost totally upon their parents to leave them some wealth.

They need to suck up and dismiss themselves in order to provide for their children. They will never know a genuine, natural life...only what they are told to believe.

"Millennial" is as much an insult as a descriptive term these days.

Why so insulted by this term?
It seems to me that they have no guts and no nouse to fight themselves out of the hole that they find themselves in.

They are a product of their own selfishness. You can only rely on parents to give so much. The will to fight for something useful needs to be something ingrained that a parent can be proud of.

Bullshit, I wish it was easy for you to meet my sons. No they are not all their generation but they are representative if their friends are anything to go by.

Like always, "give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man". If children are selfish and self seeking, that's what they were taught to be.

If you want to understand Millennials and where they find themselves you won't spend the next 18 minutes a better way:
