JKN...I get your points....you are not off. However this softening  has accelerated. Kids that grew up in the late 50's to late 70's...the delta was not as great as today's kids.
Even kids that grew up 1980 to 1999...understand your stance...despite the start of participation trophy era, everyone passes, and we can not hurt your feelings.
Now we have people pretending that XX and XY chromosome do not exist anymore, you can make up your own...so ya were getting soft fast. It's not just the US its the world.

I beg to differ with part of this sentiment. No modern generation was as derided by it's predecessors more than the group that protested the Vietnam War, protested in favor of Civil Rights, protested in favor of women's rights, and were deemed the "Hippy Generation". I came along in the late 70s, so it's before my time, but you just have to read the news articles of that period and you can feel the dripping disdain of the WW2 vets for their decendants. Everything from haircuts to drugs to casual sex were blamed on a group that is now, for the most part, the biggest slinger of sh!t aimed at the younger generations!

I came along about the same time as you, had uncles in the Nam remember Tet Offensive, sending them gift packs. I guess we were around different folks, my uncles did not have that sentiment, ones that served and ones that did not.
I too am a history buff, I understand your point.

When you don't believe in anything but yourself, you can play a deity yourself and decide your sex.

Here we go....

MBA working for me with less than 2 years experience, I should be making 150k given my degree. Old Dog...if you think someone going pay you that right now then go. What makes you think you deserve 150k, "I have an MBA"...yes but I have guys without degrees that are more qualified to run jobs than you ? do you agree, yes they have experience....Now after that degree he never learned it what you can do for the business that brings value. Follow up, after two more years later someone hired him for 146k, I did not have the opening he wanted and was ready for, I wished him best of luck and still mentor. Happy for him. BTW ex football player and he did not melt when I got on him.

Favorite line from one of my 27 year old engineers, that is not "Fair"....almost everyday....This is business, its not about "Fair"....where in the hell did they get this "Fair" concept? Non football player...BTW

If one of these young people text or call and I do not get back to them, they get butt hurt....love to tell them I was doing something more important when they say I called you and half hour ago!!!

(Yes, I appreciate every opportunity to quote this prescient movie.  It's hard to believe that it is 25 years old this year.)
