ParticipantThings are suppressed, lies are told, symptoms are exaggerated or mis-attributed as to their origins. That’s social engineering. NPR is big on this.

Participant[quote=Blogstar]Gay marriage and double male or double female or male head of households with children are perhaps more of an experiment than a change. We need more generations than just yours and mine to determine if it is a lasting change. My guess is that it is totally a situational outcome , that is quite possibly temporary and isolated in this place and time.
Baby boomers did not create greed. Moses new about it. The cult of materialism also can also swing.[/quote]
I don’t think it’s an experiment, but the future. How many generations does it take to move from experiment to an actual change? Do you think that the LGBT communities will go away like a fad? Do you think that they will want to stop having children? These things are going to last a long time. Millenials didn’t create gays and lesbians, Moses knew about it.
Also I never said boomers created greed, but may be the first generation in America to hold it as a virtue.

Think what you will.
No I don’t think boomers are the first generation to hold greed as a virtue( as you call it), materialism was just more broadly enabled than it usually is. BTW young boomers created the hippie movement. A section of all generations goes counter culture , for a few years. I don’t think we can write the biography of the millennial generation yet, we can be sure of one thing though, they will find ways to express lack of humility like any other.

NPR is a news source and as a news source afflicted with some media bias. I wouldn’t say that they have a specific agenda like Fox News per se, but they do sensationalize some stories to promote the illusion that they are on top of social change. This being said, a news agency like NPR should focus on social change since they are a national news organization and needs to look and reflect on macro issues.

GuestBoomer youngsters thought that a Hugh Hefner lifestyle was the life. A model lying on Ferrari is hot. Now that they’re old, boomers think that playing golf at a Trump resort is the life. To millenials, that’s just quaint and laughlable. Not advanced in thinking.
Millenials are more educated. Sure, there are hippie boomers. But just broad demographic generalization here.

If one never lies with a man as one does with a woman then one is ok. I think that means homesxually is fine, but bisexuality is an abomination.

Exactly. You boomers are quite a funny bunch.

How is this different than a Catholic believing that homosexuality and premarital sex is OK? Isn’t he just picking and choosing also? How about a picture of a Catholic going to Sunday mass then going out with his buddies to a gay bar?

When I think Boomers I think of Donald Trump in the 80’s, Wall Street, and dual working parents. Basically very selfish people. Maybe that’s why they are referred to as the “Me Generation”.
Millenials may express humility because our attitudes are very different than Boomers. In fact, pretty much close to polar opposites.

i better run this tat tax by some focus groups first.[/quote]Make sure you shake and slam your fist a lot while you’re doing it![/quote]

Participant[quote=scaredyclassic]except about tattoos. i HATE tattoos. 40 percent of the dang millenials have tattoos! its ridiculous. i cant stand the marking of the human body. not just because it is contrary to the Torah and jewish tradition. i just think its distespectful to the body.
The source of this prohibition is Leviticus 19:28: “You shall not etch a tattoo on yourselves.” does tradition mean nothing to these people? G-d says dont scribble on your bodies! why must you deface the holy vessel that is your body?!
i would like to see tattoos discouraged, perhaps with a large tax …[/quote]LOL, scaredy. What gets me is how millenials think they should dress for job interviews and work. I see millenials at superior court counters and tax collection counters (where they frequently interact with boomers and seniors) with extremely tight shirts on showing cleavage (every female article of clothing appears to stretch today, including jeans, lol). If we dressed like that at work, we would have been summarily sent home at 8:01 am to re-dress and the time we were gone applied to our vacation time on the books. These millenials more often than not do not wear hose with skirts and have their bare toes showing in sandals and flip-flop heels with stupid-looking fake jewels on them (straight out of the Dollar Store). Again, we would have been sent out to the store (on our vacation time) to buy pantyhose before beginning our shift if we showed up to work dressed like that and open-toed shoes were not allowed under any circumstances.
I’m so glad my youngest is a member of a Greek organization on her campus. She MUST have on dress pants or a skirt WITH a jacket at their once-weekly nightly meetings (regardless of weather – they can take the jacket off at the meeting). If she was dressed in bullet-riddled “skinny jeans” with a low-cut tank or bra-top left over from the gym that day, she will have to change for the meeting or be fined. No visible tattoos larger than a quarter are allowed nor would a heavily-tattooed female who was “rushing” for membership be picked up by most of these organizations. These young women are being prepared for the professional workforce and this is how ii should be.
Yeah, you’re right, scaredy. Schumer humor aside, some of today’s grossly overweight female millennial celebrities are colossal whiners … fat-shamed or not! If you weigh too much, you are unhealthy and should endeavor to lose weight ASAP. And um, YOU DON’T LOOK GOOD in those tight clothes you’re wearing! People don’t want to see you hanging out of your clothes so lose weight so you can wear them better! This also applies to males!
I find it UNBELIEVABLE how the portion of (mostly female) millennials dress who are at least 30 lbs overweight. Boomer women had pride. As such, we wouldn’t have been caught dead wearing tight clothes with a body like that. Even nine months pregnant, we covered up with dresses with strategically-placed pleats in them and dress skirts/pants with hidden panels which longer shirts hid. Never in a million years would we go out in public with half our pregnant stomach exposed under a short t-shirt and tight yoga pants worn low or a t-shirt stretched so tight over our stomachs that it showed everything that no one really wanted to see. NOR would would we ever nurse in public (that’s what restrooms are for)! It is RIDICULOUS the demands that many female millennials are making and the things they feel entitled to do at everyone else’s expense. They have no common decency or respect for others. For many in this group, it is all about them. Gross…
October 13, 2016 at 2:27 PM #802218ParticipantNo 74-year-old “slumlord” wants to bring his large checkbook into the Tax Assessor’s Office on April 10 with several checks stamped with a “check protector” totaling $68,274.42 and a list of parcel numbers, only to be assigned a clerk who will take 30 minutes to process the payments in front of him who is dressed like a hooker. I don’t understand how these gubment employees are getting away with this stuff …. :=0

Honestly BG I think you need to get out more. You cannot put a blanket stereotype of a generation based on a trip to the local tax collection counter. Trust me there are many millenials who know how to dress professional at job interviews and in a work setting.
