Well, a good old fashioned Depression that lasts 5 or 6 years would clear that attitude right up.
Well I don't need a Depression and I hope they don't get it either.
What they really need is to be fired as soon as they act like that, a personal depression, if you will. When they can't find a job they might get the message.
If you saw what they do in the bathrooms here you would puke. If you heard the way they talk, particularly the females, you would wince. (and I'm no prude) They dress like slobs. they look like street people.
They have no clue about history or freedom or government or rights or anything else important. They do know about sports scores, the "American Idol", their next party or the next time they get laid. Including females.
Thankfully, they don't represent ALL of their generation, but it's not encouraging.
