Honestly, gen z and millennials under the age of 30 are f*cking idiots for the most part.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here here
Sadly each generation will get even worse
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Every generation are idiots for the most part. Look at how the older generations get red in the face a vote Brexit in their masses. Or repeatedly ignored climate change.
Complaining about younger generations ruining the world is what every older generation as done for generations. It basically just makes you sound like a miserable old fart.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't agree, generation Z are by far the worst. My Auntie is a teacher, she's been a teacher since the 70's and she claims generation Z are by far the worst generation she's ever taught. They have zero respect for authority, they're weak-willed, and they think they know it all. She claims each generation has got gradually worse. I was born in the early 80s, knife crime was unheard of when I was a kid, now it's a daily occurrence.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Or she's just got older, more bitter and more out of touch with the world as it moves on. Like every generation before her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Or she's telling it like it is. She's very liberal and young thinking, her offspring are younger than me due to having her children very late in life. She's not someone who's out of touch. She actually does home visits now, for pupils who are pregnant or expelled. You obviously know more than her you being a man of the people whilst she's just a mere teacher with decades of working with children under her belt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Given my grandfather, mother and sister in law are all teachers and roll their eyes at this generational stuff, I'd suggest she is very out of touch.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Of course, they are. You sound like one of those people who knows someone for every occasion.

It's also stupid to claim knife crime was unheard of in the 1980s.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do me a favour, when I said a kid I meant teenager, I didn't watch the news when I was a small child, you facking plum.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sure. Here's news stories about the 'unheard of' knife crime in the 90s when you were allowed to watch the news.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BrKSHKKUSoQ
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucky for me, I don't live in London, but I do vaguely remember the teacher being stabbed to death. A stabbing was big news then, it ain't know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A teacher being stabbed would be huge news now.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well they are. You're welcome to believe it or not. That is your choice. My grandfather was a maths teacher and head teacher at a school in Tamworth. My mother is a science teacher. My brother married a Primary school teacher.
Quite frustrating to have so many teachers in the family, as anyone who knows school teachers knows that it's all they talk about when they are together. We all have to leave them to it at family events.
It's really easy to focus on the negatives of youth.
I'd say they are FAR less bigoted, which some genuinely seem to view as a bad thing amazingly. Like it's some loony left idea to let people be themselves and request stuff like equality.
I'd also like to add that the older generation had everything given to them on a plate.
They got PAID to go to University, imagine that. Free prescriptions, free eye care, free dentistry, affordable housing, a police force, ample employment opportunity with free training, an NHS that was properly funded and opportunity for social mobility. You cant even get a council house now, let alone buy it.
They're full of sh!t, I dont think it's amazingly fun to be a kid in these times.

All that is true, Robbing. You’ve described my generation to a tea. And, I’m a minority amongst the gammon-faced brexiteers of my peers.
The only thing I might add in mitigation, and speaking only for myself, but I have paid a B&Q store’s stock of shedloads of tax.
Time was when 35% of even the average wage packet went on Income Tax and NI conts.

Everything was given to them on a plate? I don't know about your parents but my parents had to work fecking hard for what they have. One of the reasons Uni was free was because hardly anyone went into higher education, around 50% go today. My Mum wasn't paid to go to Uni because my Dad was working. There was ample employment but there was no minimum wage and the working conditions were 5hite. One of the reasons why there's a housing shortage is because the population has risen by around 15 million since the 50s. We're a tiny island, hence the reason why property is far cheaper in France. You bang on about the NHS being properly funded yet the life expectancy today is about 10 years longer than that in the 70s. Dentistry hasn't been free for the employed since the 50s.
I had a good childhood and I never wanted for anything, but my kids have it far easier than I had it. I was never in because there was feck all to do, I can't get my kids out of their room once the weather drops to below 10°.
People that ‘tell it like it is’ aren’t usually telling it like it is.
They often tell you something else for nothing as well
At least they usually tell it you for free.
Monty Python did the four Yorkshireman sketch in the late 60’s. It’s timeless because you still get people like that 50 years later.

Even apart from the hate crime aspects, freedom of speech is a concept that people selectively apply to their own beliefs. You really see it in American media and politics. Replacement Theory? It's my constitutional right to be allowed to talk about this. Critical Race Theory being taught in schools? Shut that down.
