Per usual, no one knows what to make of us. Our parents scorn us, then praise us. They lament over our technological dependency, then ask us to set up their iPads. They tell us we’re lazy, then ask us for a loan.
Our generation is an anomaly. We refuse to do things their way, so they call us entitled. We refuse to sit in cubicles, so they call us spoiled. We refuse to follow their plans, so they call us stubborn. What they are slowly realizing, however, is we’re not lazy, stubborn or entitled. We just refuse to accept things as they’re given to us.
We refuse to accept that life must be dictated by a job we hate. We refuse to go to work in suits and ties when we’re more productive in sneakers and graphic tees.

I never understood the “We” word concerning generations.
I have always thought of myself as an individual who just happened to be born at a particular time in a particular place.
I cannot imagine my values and perspective and temperament would have been substantially different if I had been born in another country or in another era.
52.We’re delusional.
Exactly. Maybe these are the turds that refuse to get in line in the left lane when the right lane is coming to an end and insist on going to the head of the line to barge their way in. Me first turds.
Millennials have fully embraced the entitlement mentality paramount to liberalism. It’s probably best that conservatives play the role of Travis Coates to the Millenials’ Old Yeller.
52. We’re delusional
53. We are as easy to lead as gentle, tame sheep by Pop Culture influences
54. Our god is diversity and tolerance.
We’re more demanding, selfish, self-absorbed, self-worshiping, incurious, myopic, boastful, and immature even than our boomer parents. And we call that cool.
He/She will virtually have no competition in the business world.
Most of these Millennials probably don't know what a cell phone bill looks like since mom/dad pay for it.
Maybe it isn't a good thing to try to give our children everything you didn't have when we were growing up. Maybe kids need to constantly have some type of struggle when growing up ... I don't know. Just seems that more than ever, this country is doomed.
I agree. The cream will rise to the top. Ten years from now those with the bad attitudes will be trying to explain the big gaps on their resumes.
“I’m betting that societal Darwin is going to come into play, and that they’ll end up doing very well in life.”
what on earth would make you think that?
Of course we all should raise our kids to be moral, hard working and honest. But you see the powerful forces at work today that will do everything it can destroy those once godly traits.
I wish it weren’t so but ignoring the obvious won’t change it. Its going to take a miracle to turn this around.

The article seems to say here are fifty reasons why we will be forever unemployed or underemployed, but we don’t care because of all the free stuff the “poor” get from those who create things.
“Our generation is an anomaly. We refuse to do things their way, so they call us entitled.”
Our generation is pretty disgraceful. “Our” generation demands the government teat and demands for our elders to pay for “our” stupidity.
As a small business owner, I set the rules of my company. I created my own system. I also realize who is the boss and that is my clients. I do what is necessary to do my job. That is why those who look for quality call me and not the inexperienced 20 something millennial who isn't reliable.
The morals that god Obama, goddess Mary Jane, and god Planned Barrenhood have set down, of course.
We’re doomed. This crowd could never win a war, as teenagers and men in their early-20s did in WWII. They think they’re special, but when the grid goes, which will be the first attack in the next war, these babies will assume the fetal position and wait to die.
You are welcome.
Old man sitting at a bus stop. Kid sits down, says “Old man, you didn’t grow up with laptops, the internet, cell phones.”
The old man smiled. He said, “You’re right. We had to invent them. What have you done?”
What have YOU done but whine?
Nah, in ten years job applications and resumes will be outlawed by the DOL and DOJ.
They don’t worry me. They’ll figure it out. I know lots of them; most are good people.
We refuse to go to work in suits and ties when we’re more productive in sneakers and graphic tees.
Great attitude! Down the road, when you do wear a suit, tie and leather shoes, we’ll arrange another interview. Oh, and by the way, interviews are from 7 - 10 in the mornings on Sundays.
They are delusional, unwilling to accept things as they are. If they do not enjoy the world as it is then they must accept it as it is in order to make changes otherwise it is just chaos.
