Funny how the newspaper business is failing World Wide. Funny how they all print the same BS... Cause and effect... ya think?

I dont understand your comment.
I’d be melancholy too if I was only allowed to use one square.
I have one word for this moronic “journalist”.
“Rations”.
What I see is a generation so coddled and sheltered... that they find horrible what a depression-era child would find paradise.
Wussy-boys, the lot of them.
“Waaah! I saw on TV a bad man with a gun. Waaah, waaah, mommy, *SOB*!”
“That’s okay, Johnny! You’re only 22 years old, you can’t be expected to cope with scenes on TV like that. I’ll call the grief counsellor, the psychiatrist, and the pharmacy (for some Prozac). There, there! Don’t cry, it makes Mommy sad.”
Like I said... Wussy little mama’s boys.
(Grief counsellors, for Pete’s sake! AAARGH! I wonder if the children of Al Capone’s victims thought they needed grief counsellors?)
They fought World War One in their youth, they suffered in the Depression when raising their kids, they saw their kids die in World War Two in middle age and then saw America go down the toilet in the 1960's in their old age.
I was almost 21 in ‘77. Rock and Roll took a dive, disco was everywhere and Jimmuh was President. ‘77 sucked!
Bunk.
The debacle of the Superdome may have been the worst example of people acting like idiots, but the San Franciso Earthquake and the Galveston Hurricane/Flood were worse natural disasters.
This is Roeper’s sneaky and cowardly way of saying to the 80s generation that their sacrifices in Bush’s war don’t count for much.
I don’t get the criticism here. This article seems to say that today’s generation doesn’t have it “worse” than previous ones. I agree. If anything, this generation has it relatively easy. We are at war, but few “feel it” as there is widespread prosperity and no draft. Every generation has its trials and tribulations—as it should. But you’ve got to keep things in perspective.
If we don’t win this WOT - then this generation is going to have a serious wakeup call. Then we’ll see whether they have true grit.
HUH? Seems the article disproves your "alert".
More like a (WHINNING GenX Alert).

Hard to believe I just read that. The Millennial generation is the most spoiled and pampered generation to have ever walked the face of the earth. To a fault they are pampered. The biggest challenge parents of this generation have is to get these kids to understand the effort it takes to live this life of veritable luxury.
Have you ever noticed how trees up close appear taller than trees far away?
This just sounds like the person took a bunch of events and put them all together to say nothing.
I am going to have to put my Fred Thompson Prediction tag-line on hiatus, in favor of the one below...
Oh my God, and don't forget that Mary Kate still has eating issues. How can Ashley possibly cope? :^(
Really? I grew up in the '50s.
I remember air raid drills in school. Volunteers standing on building roofs with binoculars looking for Russian bombers.
Outbreaks of polio every summer. If you complained of a sore neck your parents turned white with fear.
In the early '60s I hit the job market at 19, married. I couldn't get a decent job because I hadn't fulfilled my military obligation. Yes there was a Draft and employers didn't want to train you only to have you drafted.
Granted, social life was much easier. Why?
criminals were incarcerated with long prison sentences and little parole. Gangs were few.
The police could 'stop and frisk' you.
There were loitering laws.
IMHO that is the biggest single reason for the rise of gangs. That and Miranda.(and open immigration)
Thank you ACLU!!
I remember saving my money and buying a .22 rifle when I was ..14,legally. Yet there was little gun crime. No drive by shootings. No losing a fight and running home to get a gun.
IMHO 'Self esteem' and 'disrespecting' being taught has left our youth unable to cope with adversity and rejection.
I’ll take more freedom over wealth anytime.
Each generation passes on to the next, nowadays, a less free future, and more debt.
Don’t like.
