Indeed. What was said about my generation wasn’t very flattering.
The millenials I know are terrific
Like the requirement to be at least 35 years of age to become President, so should be the voting age.
I’ve met all kinds. Hell, even my boss is a millennial. Some work hard, some don’t. They ALL seem to put leisure time ahead of anything else. I have enough vacation time saved up for four people to have a great time. A millennial typically has none.
The ones that don’t work hard are the most frustrating to deal with. Deadlines and obligations simply don’t matter, unless it fits in with their “off time”. They consider themselves to be infinitely talented, when they are usually just treading water.
There are a few, however, that just stand out as great, organized, solid people. They are even more disillusioned with their peers than I am.
And they should be property owners and receiving no welfare payments from the government or employed by the government (except for military and public safety personnel).
I would add military or national service of some sort. no skin in the game, no vote.
If that pisses off liberals, OK, only propery owners..............Same reasoning. If you do not have a stake, you do not get to vote yourself a stake.
Beat me by 2 seconds with similar thoughts..........
Heh, could’ve signed off to go to bed without posting in the thread. :-P
The ideas you both present work for me.
My nephew, son, and his friends were all Millenials. In 2007 they thought Obama was the next bet thing to buttered bread. Now they hate his guts. They know they were fooled but they’ve repented and are now conservatives after learning that socialism is the way elitists amass huge fortunes off the backs of the middle class while stealing from them and the lower classes as well. Even a 19 year old kid at our church has turned conservative after seeing how evil the left really is. Yeah people AREvwaking up. It’s going to be a new day. Trump better wear body armor and have 24/7 protection because he has the leftist freeloaders crapping in their pants scared they’re going to have to work for a living and actually pay taxes
Depends on which young folks are being discussed. I more often see young folks who are tougher, smarter and much more technically capable than others. Drive them out, and they’ll be back.
Gertrude Stein trashed Hemingway’s generation by declaring them the Lost Generation.
I hereby declare the beheadable millenials as the Last Generation because they will single-handedly destroy all of humanity, either out of self destructiveness, apthy, or incompetence.
Can we call them the Millenemy?
And public-sector unionized to boot.
“the requirement to be at least 35 years of age to become President”
There is uber proof that the minimum age should be raised to 45, and I’ll just let it go at that.
Well, let us know when you figure out how to separate them from “Socialist Stupid”.
You’re correct of course, and that age may even be 55 by now. When the Constitution was created 35 was probably even a bit too long, but now it is too soon. So now 45/55 equals 35 of yore.
Yeah, I get that. If, as they like to say (whoever “they” are), 60 is the new 40, then 35 must be the new 15. There is a lot of truth in that, however unfortunate.
