"And it pissed me off a bit, especially when I come on these threads and see older people who had a completely different situation judging, judging, judging. But don't let me interrupt your "these damned lazy kids" fun."

So why do you come to "these threads" if that is what you believe? If you did the best you could with what you had (which it sounds like you did), then you have nothing to be angry at.

This thread is directed at those who ARE lazy, spoiled, stupid, or all the above. Those kind of people exist in Every generation, it's just that the sob story that got posted, would never have been put out there so as to some how raise some sympathy for the "poor souls."

I suppose because I feel somewhat tied to my age group and I feel others have been typecasted as lazy because it's a shortcut to thinking and considering a group of circumstances unique to a time period. I'm not trying to raise sympathetic feelings.

The irony is that at least internally, the 55 year old version of me will probably be looking at 25 year old kids and thinking they are lazy in some way without considering their circumstances. Maybe the generation gap is unavoidable. It would be nice to know if it served some useful purpose.
