Millennials are also generation y, and the real youngsters are generation Z

Gen X eh, i never knew that either,

A DJ in a club in Surfers paradise on the gold coast used to open his set / night with " trying for kicks " by the Gen X ( a punk-ish band ), it was completely out of place, but he said it was his " trademark "

.. and your point is? that's all going the way you want isn't it? not so long ago you were saying you were all for Agenda 21 and a one world government, if that's the case then you should be expecting..

State planning and management to all land resources, ecosystems, deserts, forests, mountains, oceans and fresh water, agriculture, rural development, biotechnology and ensuring ‘equity’.
Abolition of private property (it’s not sustainable they say).
Major restrictions on movement, creation of human settlement zones.
Mass resettlement as people are forced to vacate land where they live.
An end to any national sovereignty ect.

Do you think they are going to make it easier for people to buy property? I can only imagine the resentment future generations will have for the people who inflict this shitfest on them.

Yes. Bring back Love Thy Neighbour. That was HILARIOUS!!!

What good ideas, we could relocate all of humanity to a handful of megacities, and then allow the rest of the world to return to nature.

Clearly you can only read single paragraphs, otherwise your poor microcephalic brain goes into meltdown.
I'm amazed that you sent your message at 20 to 10 at night. Way past your bedtime. You must have woken up in a bad mood after you wet the bed.

I'm all for helping people, feeding the poor ect ect but I refuse to do it based on lies, if they care so much about starving people why are people like Comic relief investing millions in to arms and tobacco companies when people have nothing to eat and no fresh water? because they do not give a shit that's why.

Read the truth about live aid, probably did more harm than good but it made everyone feel good about themselves didn't it?
https://www.spin.com/featured/live-a...eldof-feature/

The truth is I would give up everything I have if I thought it meant that children all over the world would have access to fresh water but I know it's not going to happen, the blackmail will continue, they will gain control of every corner of the globe and people will still die.

btw what was the answer to your quiz question the other day? England is 2% buildings and Wales is 0.9% buildings wasn't it? I had no idea how overpopulated we are :biggrin: I guess that's why we have stopped building houses eh?

More and more younger people (and older people) are obese due to eating crap foods, like McDonald's, KFC, pizzas and take aways.
They also lead a more sedentary lifestyle.
Younger people in general are less likely to walk to and from places than previous generations and expect mum or dad to transport them here and there.
We have a more throwaway society than ever before. People in general, but more so younger people want immediacy and generally are not prepared to wait for things like previous generations.
Unemployment was over 3 million when I left school and you laughably say you have tougher jobs market. Utter garbage.
There was NO minimum wage.
There's a 19 year old I know who works 30 hours per week, for minimum wage, lives with his 18 year old girlfriend in a property overlooking the sea and they have bought all new furniture, TV and house fittings. He was not prepared to wait or get second hand or hand me downs.

So yes, this generation, in general, belive they have a greater sense of entitlement than ever before.

That's a yearly wage of £11,700 if he worked every week. I smell bullshit in that little anecdote

Perhaps his 18 year old girlfriend is sucking dick for a living?

Pays well.

That's because back in the day they only let really clever people in to become doctors and stuff.

Unlike now, where you get to 'study' films, tourism and how to be nice to trannies and stuff (while spending your grant money on chips and kebabs)

Basically if you're willing to pay then there's a place for you.

Unless you're really dull.

Then you get to work on the phones for British Gas.

Adz was sticking up for himself and his 'entitled' generation. So entitled that they have to pay for lots of things that other generations got subsidised. I am a bit older than adz but I can see how truly ****ed over they have been and no amount of iPads and overseas holidays will make up for that.

I'd guess I'm three times older than him and I can "see how truly ****ed over they have been" as well. At 61, I belong to a generation that has never had to fight in a war, never had to pay for any of the text books I had when I was in school and certainly would not have had a loan to pay off if I had gone to University. I also have had free health care all of my life, didn't have to pay dental charges for the early part of it and am now in receipt of a public service pension which amounts to virtually a five figure sum per annum - that figure is higher for many of my age.

When I was younger, I thought that it was inevitable that the generations coming behind me would have an improved quality of life compared to me - in lots of ways they do, but, in many, very important, ways they certainly do not. The benefits I've enjoyed throughout my life should be the minimum criteria that today's youngsters would expect and it's a reflection of the people who have governed us for the past forty years or so that it isn't.

Certainly tougher for a graduate now than the years pre-crash 2008. For quite a few years a 2:2 in any old degree and half a brain used to get you on a grad scheme and earning 30k within a couple of years.

Hard to compare eras. Nowadays you have massaged unemployment figures and the gig economy/zero hours contracts. 'Workers' in those categories may not make enough to live on but they won't count in the unemployment figures as they may have done in the past.

Pretty well summed up, I'd not want to be between 18 & 30 in the current world, TBF i don't think that ADZ is a very good reflection of his age group, and i doubt he'd have got into uni during previous generations, but i do think ppl of his age will soon be on foreign shores waging WWIII, like the previous two WW's, they are just set-up and can be seen currently being played out on our TV screens.
