Yamashi – what does that mean?[/quote]
Hmmm…I guess you never watched that episode of the Office.

Anyways, you should look in the mirror at home, talk really loud, make demands like people are no longer allowed to get tattoos and slam and shake your fist. Oh and wave your hands around too …

That’s what you get when you deal with government workers. Typically they don’t represent the brightest and best especially at places like that. Neither ones that work in retail, construction, fishing, and sanitation. There are a few like that movie Goodwill Hunting, but I would consider him to be an anomaly.[/quote]Actually, yamashi, I AM a retired county employee. And btw, we WERE “the best and the brightest!” I don’t know what happened after I “retired” but it appears their dress code has been “relaxed” for the millenials. I’m not sure why. They still have 50-400 applicants for each open position. Why do employers think they have to “cater” to what millenials want (relaxed dress code, flex time, telecommuting, 6-month long leaves granted without losing their jobs, etc)?
These same employers had no problem at all telling us boomers to pack sand if we asked for any of this.

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?[/quote]

About time. Next on the agenda, premarital sex and birth control.

GuestI’m warning boomers. Don’t be too critical, keep your mouth shut, change with the times, else you’ll be lonely. Millenials are just as quick to judge. If you’re against gay marriage or believe that climate change is a hoax, you’ll get written off soon enough. Don’t talk to millenials in greedy money grubbing ways. Or say insensitive things like “bomb the Middle East”.
One of my cousins didn’t bother talking with his dad anymore. Over the years the relationship deteriorated to just hi, bye.
If you’re in business, change with the times before your customer base evaporates.
Trump is the typical loud mouth out of touch boomer. Millenials would never stay in his hotels, or wear Ivanka fashion. Totally retrograde thinking and lifestyle.

[/quote]Please define “best and the brightest!”. Do you mean the best and brightest in San Diego? When I say best and brightest I mean the top 10-20% of graduating college seniors from top tier schools (top 25). So this would mean the majority of the workplace was composed of top graduates from places like #1 Princeton (Source US News and World Report) all the way to #25 UCLA. As opposed to San Diego State #146 and UCSD #44. When I think of companies that recruit from this pool I think of Silicon Valley for Tech, larger biotech firms in SD, Big 4 accounting firms and large consulting firms. When I think of government I think of NASA, and the FBI. I never been to the county clerks office, but I never put them in that category.

Who gives a shit about that 74yo? It’s you kissing ass to power. No wonder you love Trump.
If the guy can’t do online payment then he’s stupid.

…ok I was wondering this whole time what BG was talking about. I never knew a Tax Assessor office existed, always paid my taxes online. Also what is this “check protector”? Does he guard the checks?

You are correct that the world is a much better place due to amazing new technologies such as internet, and alternative energy, but we have many issues that your generation left behind. We will find a way to fix it and move forward, but not without removing Boomers from places of power (eg. politics/upper management).[/quote]
Yes, the world is a better place due to the Boomers and almost every generation before them and probably will improve (overall) with every generation after them. There are always advantages and disadvantages to technology. For example, it makes me sad to see groups of kids all sitting with each other staring into their phones. I think people socialize less in groups than they used to, and I think that is a shame.
FWIW – I think one reason for the reduction in “slut shaming” is DNA technology that allows a father or a rapist to be identified somewhat easily (assuming there is a suspect or purported father). The availability of that tool has also discouraged would be rapists and almost eliminated the need for paternity cases. Thank you Kary Mullis.
Most social laws were put in place to avoid difficult outcomes, such as fourteen year old girls (or their families) being put in the position of trying to support a child whose father chooses not to be identified. The Pill had a similar effect, allowing women to enter the workforce with confidence that they had control over when they would have kids. Yamashi – as a woman I think I have probably thought about this more than you have (you sound like a man, but maybe I’m wrong) and although I might agree with you in general you seem inclined to throw out the baby boomer with the bathwater. ( Ok – I just thought of that but I like it. )
This whole topic is sort of silly, and Yamashi – you seem a little ingenuous. Your opinions about scaredy make me think that you don’t question your own prejudices – he is probably the most even handed and witty person on this board.

Good idea, especially with the advent of social media. It doesn’t take much for someone to give a bad Yelp review or to share a tweet.

I’ve known young people who seem older than those much older than them. The issue is about when people decide their view of the world is right (BG – are you out there?) As long as you stay open to alternative views and opinions and as long as you incorporate new ideas into your psyche – you can be mentally young forever.

I like being in my 40s now with enough experience and resources to visit and host friends and relatives. I enjoy my relatives and I’m happy I can relate to old and young.
Yes, people who are open minded are mentally young forever and happy. -
