One thing that makes me livid is when i hear people in my age group bashing young people. I hear it over and over, the same comments, "these kids have it too easy", "they are dumb", "they don;t work hard enough", "they are all spoiled", etc. etc. ad nauseum.

Did they like it back in the 60's and 70's when their elders said the same thing about them. And the stigmatization. I see so many young people that are ambitious, creative, responsible, and are capable of understanding and doing things that would boggle the minds of many of my peers of my age groups. Yet, listening to these old farts you'd think ever young person was a deadbeat.

I suspect generational rivalry is in many ways a form of jealousy. I find some people my age and older are bitter about themselves and envious about younger people so they resort to scapegoats, stigma's and put downs rather than try and better or change themselves.
