[QUOTE="sumoj275, post: 4202902, member: 198"] I’m not a Boomer, or old person by many. I’m over the hump in later mid-life. As to talking to younger generation I did for 20 years as an educator and coach. I still talk to young kids and adults when I can so I can try to understand them and offer knowledge if I can. I believe most older people do too but at some point the younger generation don’t want to listen, they know better because they are of the tech age. They want it now and don’t want to work for something, they get on their smart phone and go to wiki or some like site that is flawed to get it. My years growing up was outside exploring, sports, etc but today it’s video games and the latest tech. In hs we were lucky enough to have vehicles we could wrench on ourselves and not have to have a smart computer to tell us what was wrong with the vehicles, and we could afford to do it. My point is kids today figure things out differently than we did. A lot of things change and evolve, some for the better and some for the worse. Calling people, generational wise, out like you are makes me wonder what you, and your generation, have done to stop what is going on in the country? Are you running for office? Are you volunteering in little league programs to influence the future? Are you leading a scout troop to help influence the future? Or do you, and your generation, just want things changed and handed out without helping to make the change you want? I know for a fact that younger generations have people who are working for change for the better as I have seen them, and talked to them. The other side of the coin is that as our older generations that have been working for our ideas get older and step out there are less of the younger generations stepping in for our ideas, and are being out worked by those who want to change, destroy, our way of life by changing the political scene. So who should be blamed for the things that have gone wrong- as I see it past generations, current generations, and the generations that are coming up in the ranks. We ALL are taking a bite of the s*** pie and are trying to do the best we can with it. [/QUOTE]
