    Same goes to our 100 year old cultures that we changing just because some special snowflake gets offended over nothing.

    Do you think todays Generation has no balls what so ever?
    do you have a link to it about black?
    The thing i remember the most is negerzoen. (literal translation nigerkiss). It's sort of a like a fluffy marshmellow creamw ith chocolate around it.
    But their was something with immigrants that changed as well 15 years ago.

    I get why we moved away with niger....although everytime i see niger being used by blacks only i think we shouldn't have. But going away from black is just stupid, you can't just keep doing it.

    I think you just made most of this up. I challenege you to find a significat membered group, reperesentative of "western intellectuals" as a whole, who say; "giving government total control over health care, retirement, and many other things is freedom." Ill wait.

    This surge of terrorism, where these people are fed up with the status quo... you may not like the manner that the defy the system but it certainly takes some ballsy-ness to say enough is enough and do what they do.
    I mean it as how well you cope with physical and mental hardship.

    I guess you could say snapping like that takes backbone, but that depends if it's truly necessary and the motivations for doing so. Killing people because they made you sad when you could just choose to ignore it or change jobs is not strength, it's mental illness.

    I am also in this generation and I agree with the above statement.

    It's the exact same thing as it's always been.
    The only thing different is the internet nowadays acting as an amplifier for everything.

    The people who think they have a right to dominate others are the biggest pussies.

    What kind of weak minded person gets their validation from something external like that?

    The people who don't value themselves as a unique individual are imbalanced in the brain.

    What's the benefit of attaching all these 'strings' to yourself (binding, restricting or hiding your unique personality which is where ALL of your value lies) by comparing yourself to others?

    Indeed.
    I wonder genuinely how many here are 40+ yrs old anyway.
    And that's about the age one has to have to make any assessment on such topic at all.
    In order to know how a person turns out, somewhat at least, that person has to be about 20 yrs old. That's when things start to settle in.
    Means the minimum age for a mature approach is 20..
    So, now from there..
    In order to make a somewhat educated guess about person B, the age of person A should be twice that age.
    20 + 20 = 40.

    Exceptions apply, as usual. But as usual they don't invalidate the rule of thumb either.

    Pretty good way of putting it

    Now of course very generation complains about the generation below - but men are definitely less manly these days

    The only reason I'm so sure of that is because every early 20something girl I meet complains about it

    *Giggles* I remember when my generation said the same about your generation. It's always like this. People acquire their own accomplishments, then the next generation comes along, with the technology developed in our generation, they impose a newer world view that is just as idealistic as the generation before them. My parents said that about my generation, and their parents said that about theirs. It always happens, this is nothing new.

    Well, I might claim the right of being the very generation that was accused for being pussies the most.
    Especially when you're European and 50ish.. Then you're on that end. The first generation born more than a decade away from the war. But with tons and tons of former generations people around that survived both World wars. We were accused for being pussies just from the fact that we don't have to grow up with any war actions, and instead are sheltered in peace times.
    That's definitely improved now, and one doesn't generally get blamed for not having to grow up in bad times.

    The "kinda like you did here" classic example of current generation having nothing to say but saying it because they are on the internet. Jokes you on.

    So, are you one of those less manly men? Or are you from the former generation?

    Grow up, Grandpa and learn to stop broadly applying your labels to groups people that fit your bias.

    How the fuck would the 20 something have a metric of how the old generation is

    *Giggles* Indeed. Though, we are from the same generation, I'm just from the States.

    You try to tell someone to stop applying labels, by .... applying a label?
