1 out of 6 millennial men are unemployed or in jail

[MrLair]

Give me a better statistic. How many of these guys are White, Black, Hispanics, and are criminals??? Also like to see a state break down.

And do illegal immigrants that are millennial's count? Because they shouldn't. They shouldn't be in this country.

There is a significant difference of people born in the 80s compared to those in the 90s and 00s. No one from the 80s should be lumped in with these sacks of ****.

Yeah, these 11 year olds today are such sacks of ****. so much worse than 11 year olds throughout history.

You always get way overboard negative in these "kids today" thread. We get it, old man. Your children are awful parents and you really hate your snotty grandkids.

 

[jockstrap_mcgee]

If you were born in the 20's, then you are benchmark for what it means to not suck. Survived a Depression, kicked a few megolomaniacs bent on world domination in the 'nads, and then invented the microwave and went to the moon. Everybody else is on the spectrum somewhere far below that bar, wallowing in various levels of suck.

I was more discussing kids born in 2000, 2001-ish since you can't really make any statement about 12-year-olds nor was I really discussing pre teens.

Also, there's no "overboard" with the description of the state of millennials. Maybe you should get out more instead of basing your entire reality off of a small town in Kentucky.

With minority incarceration and unemployment rates through the roof, I am surprised it is only one out of six.

There should be a good way to determine if someone is a millenial.

1) Are you a gigantic ***** that is easily offended?
2) You live off of your parents and rarely have had any responsibility
3) You received a trophy no matter how little you did.
4) You're a PC brainwashed queef

I think Willy said the millenial cutoff age was if you were in school and it was still okay to say "That's gay" when someone was lame or a douche. If you were in school after that was no longer acceptable; you're a millenial.

Outstanding!

One of my favorite things the left complains about is how many people are locked up as if it's anyone else's fault but the criminals. It's amazing how the majority of us can avoid being arrested but from what I'm told every crime is justified and everything is whitey's fault in some capacity.

Pretty easy from my interactions with police to avoid being shot and/or killed FWIW.......

Only to the simpleminded. And only the simpleminded can't comprehend that fighting the police on the street, is a losing proposition. Only the simpleminded fail to realize that if you comply with instructions given by the police, you'll probably do better than if you don't.

I don't have any major opposition to this statement. I think you trend more towards victim blame, however. I agree if you do what you should you are less likely to find yourself in a bad situation. What I don't agree with is just bc you don't comply you are to blame for whatever unjust action a cop may take in that situation.

I never said you were to blame for an unjust action by the police. I'm just saying that if you try to correct it on the street, you will lose.

And just because you feel the action is unjust, does not make it so. That's why we have courts.

 

[rmattox]

Answer me this....

Is this generation better, stronger, smarter and harder working than the previous ones?

Or are they giant retarded pussies?

Hey, don't say "retarded"...it's not nice.

 

[Get Buckets]

You implied it by saying if you do what the cops say nothing bad will happen, no?

And just because you feel the action is unjust, does not make it so. That's why we have courts

Im talking about any unjust action by the cops which would include ones determined so by the courts.

 

[rmattox]

I don't have a problem with people whatever the age that can hold a job and take care of themselves. It's the ones who won't and then cry about needing the gov't to support them that pisses me off.

That group is made up of people from all generations, but based on what I see at the counseling office, there seems to be a lot more 20-30 somethings that are messed up solely because drugs, dropping out of school, no goals or vision for life. I do agree that a lot of that is because their parents screwed up. I know this will pi$$ a lot of people, but I see the results of people being raised by drug/alcohol dependent and/or absent baby-boomer parents, especially absent dads. A large segment of my generation failed miserably as parents. We're seeing the results.

I have a decent savings (that always gets chunked by medical bills and car repairs), a meager retirement account and a house.

I went to UK, came out with $15k in debt ($850 current balance), drive a paid off car, etc. You're generalizations pointed towards me are ridiculous.

You can't spell worth ****, come off as kind of a buffoon and lack tact. My point is, that if people like you got ahead 25 years ago, it proves my point about your generation "accidenting" into prosperity.

And give me an absolute ****ing beyond break with the early 90s being a recession. I graduated in spring 2007. There's zero ****ing comparison.

What do you do?

Are you Frank Grimes?

What do you do?

Crazy,
May I ask what your current salary is? Were there restrictions/commitments/obligations that tied you to a specific area? You are right about schools selling a bill of goods ie..a degree in recording technology, women's studies, etc... A degree can be a ticket to a decent job, just depends on the job. You said your wife is in grad school and hopes to teach. As a former school admin, I can guarantee she can find a job... (1) if she is willing to relocate (2) If she can teach public school subjects like math, special ed, etc... If she's hoping to teach at the college level, her chances are diminished.

It's always been the case that supply/demand determines how hard or easy it is to find a job. I experienced it myself.

Serious question. What should law enforcement do when suspects do not comply? What acts can be done or which words can be spoken by cops that will actually detain a suspect when they do not want to be detained and resist the cuffs? Just let them walk away if the only alternative is to resort to violence against them? What would be a just response for cops in that situation?

Follow protocol.

Good answer ... but what is protocol? I'm asking a serious question here. Not being snarky or anything.

Taze (sp) them. Suspects that do not comply should receive double sentences.

1 Cops get just as much criticism when they taze someone.

2 How are you gonna sentence someone who just ambled off or ran away because you didn't take him down in a violent manner and he wouldn't give him your hands to cuff.

She is getting a master's in MSD so she plans on teaching special ed. We would prefer not to relocate, but never say never.

Only idiots don't comply with police. The courts need to make exa

It's a guarantee of a job if she's willing to go to the job.

2 major contributors to their total failure as a generation:

1) participation trophies

2) lack of corporal punishment at school and home.

Our country is doomed. Once this group is in control, they're as likely to hand the country over just to avoid any hard work involved with keeping things going

Same could be said of the boomers, but somehow we're still here.

How so? Corporal punishment was well accepted during that generations childhood. Now it's all but abolished.

Now, there's no doubt baby boomers are failures as parents. That's why millenials are how they are

That is flat-out incorrect. "Don't taze me bro" become famous because it was funny. Police shootings become famous because they are tragedies.

Hopefully we can transition to this in the US. Let the police set the example and the criminals will eventually abandon guns as well. We don't know it won't work unless we try it.

^ sure, that seems reasonable. :/

The "Don't taze me, bro" thing infuriated me when it happened. The kid did nothing wrong but ask a question and was not violent and then Kerry just stood there and did nothing and didn't tell those retarded cops to take their hands off of him.

The he gets tazed for no reason while being no physical threat but hey, cops are dickheads and like to play with their toys so he got lit up.

 

[Big_Blue79]

Yeah (I agree), but it was still a great running joke. Still has its moments.

Why the fascination with the word "retard," Heisman? Seems 1996ish.

Your deep hatred of cops didn't come out of just reading stories or watching videos. You had to have had a run-in with cops and lost badly. Why don't you share the story?

You must have had some pretty lousy role models to warrant such contempt and disdain for my generation. I have four kids, ages 21-28. Yeah, it's been tough for each...student loans,hard to find jobs in their degree fields, but they are making it and will make it. They don't seem to share your disdain for their dad's generation.

Let me rephrase that. Most of your generation is awful, and based on your posts, you're one of them.
