Generation *********...

[deuse]

I never knew that "********* generation" was in the English dictionary

********* generationnoun [ S ] /ˈsnəʊ.fleɪk dʒen.əˌreɪ.ʃən/ /ˈsnoʊ.fleɪk dʒen.əˌreɪ.ʃən/ also generation ********* [ U ] informal disapproving
"a way of referring to the type of young people who are considered by some people to be too easily upset and offended"

 

[Muzza1875]

I don't think western civilization will survive the next 50 years, By that time the west will have been so infantilized that we could literally be conquered in 1 day.

"Tolerance and Apathy are the last virtues of a dying society."

There have always been people like Dicehunter predicting the downfall of society due to the youth, it's amazing we have got to where we are

Written in 1771

Whither are the manly vigor and athletic appearance of our forefathers flown? Can these be their legitimate heirs? Surely, no; a race of effeminate, self-admiring, emaciated fribbles can never have descended in a direct line from the heroes of Potiers and Agincourt...

in 1790

The free access which many young people have to romances, novels, and plays has poisoned the mind and corrupted the morals of many a promising youth; and prevented others from improving their minds in useful knowledge. Parents take care to feed their children with wholesome diet; and yet how unconcerned about the provision for the mind, whether they are furnished with salutary food, or with trash, chaff, or poison?

in 1904

Never has youth been exposed to such dangers of both perversion and arrest as in our own land and day. Increasing urban life with its temptations, prematurities, sedentary occupations, and passive stimuli just when an active life is most needed, early emancipation and a lessening sense for both duty and discipline, the haste to know and do all befitting man's estate before its time, the mad rush for sudden wealth and the reckless fashions set by its gilded youth--all these lack some of the regulatives they still have in older lands with more conservative conditions.

in 1859

A pernicious excitement to learn and play chess has spread all over the country, and numerous clubs for practicing this game have been formed in cities and villages...chess is a mere amusement of a very inferior character, which robs the mind of valuable time that might be devoted to nobler acquirements, while it affords no benefit whatever to the body. Chess has acquired a high reputation as being a means to discipline the mind, but persons engaged in sedentary occupations should never practice this cheerless game; they require out-door exercises--not this sort of mental gladiatorship.

in 1853

... see the simpering little beau of ten gallanting home the little coquette of eight, each so full of self-conceit and admiration of their own dear self, as to have but little to spare for any one else... and confess that the sight is both ridiculous and distressing... the sweet simplicity and artlessness of childhood, which renders a true child so interesting, are gone (like the bloom of the peach rudely nipped off) never to return.

So generation ********* will just grow up, have children and then complain about the downfall of society due to the new up and coming youth. Remember after the hippies of the 60's we had the backlash from the next generation of the punks in the 70s

I hate SJW's and **********. Today I met a social justice warrior on the subway (or the underground/tube for you British folk). I went to get on the elevator from the platform to street level and I was standing there waiting for it. This hideous beast of a woman walks up behind me, also waiting for the elevator. "Get out of the way. People have to get OFF first!" she said to me in a very demeaning and angry tone. Had I been in a worse mood I would have informed her that she resembled a heroin addicted overweight stunt double for the Loch Ness monster but I kept my mouth shut. Then we get on the elevator (This is hard to get wrong but apparently, I got THIS wrong too!). I press the button for street level. She glares at me, shakes her head, and makes an ugly grunting sound. I pressed the button wrong folks, that's what happened. I'm apparently also unaware that people get off elevators as well as get on. I'm an awful person. I am cancer on our free and good society and I should be taken out back and shot. I know this now.

What makes you think that was a 'SJW' or *********?

Sounds a whole lot more like some self-righteous, Trump-voting (assuming American, 'subway'), rude A-hole.

Really doesn't, from your account, fit the profile of SJW/********* at all

As a person with only one hand I am offended by the idea of jazz hands in place of clapping as it feels discriminatory!

Can't imagine clapping is easier than jazz hands when you only have one

Just clap on your thigh or on a hard surface? That's what I do when I have a beer in one hand...

********** are the 18-26 year olds today who think they are entitled to everything and anything and are allowed, via the medium of social media, to spout whatever trash they want and it is to be accepted. Yet if someone pulls them up on anything then they are deemed to be racist,or whatever slur the ********** can think of to deflect attention away from them. Addicted to their phones and unable to have empathy due to living their lives via a 4 x 4inch screen instead of looking at the real world.

Is that easier than a one-handed jazz-hand?

WTF, who has a 4x4 inch screen?

...figuratively speaking. Basically living their lives glued to a little screen.

You only need one hand to clap, it's a common misconception.

Really, that age group is one that has hit adulthood in the full knowledge that they are shut out from the sort of comfortable existence their parents were able to have. An unobtainable housing market, a jobs market with senior positions still dominated by the huge baby boom generation, an impending pension crisis (and pensions not being something those young can particularly expect to get themselves) etc. They feel no entitlement; they know they're ****** - they only ask for understanding and respect, rather than condescension and dismissal by an arrogant preceding generation who took their pound of flesh and pulled up the ladder.

BlackBerry Passport owners (it's actually 4.5"x4.5" but meh).

I reckon I can figure out how to do a one-handed jazz-hand too. I'll have to crunch some figures, but it must be possible.

Well, they deserve everything they get for having a Blackberry

I think you guys are a) hanging around the wrong people, b) reading too much daily mail and c) forgetting that this phenomenon maybe accounts for 5% of the younger generation. Let's just ignore all the good/hard working individuals and focus on the bad ones because we can feel better about ourselves that way.

So you discriminate against lesser screen sizes and ratio, what type pf monster are you? YOU are what's wrong with society

National service and corporal punishment in schools, bring em back I say!

You guys do realise that people who are easily triggered have a genuine biological chemical impalance, right?

I mean it is along the same lines as depression, and has to be treated in the same ways (through re-balancing chemicals with the use of drugs).

The biggest problem is the reaction to these triggered people - giving them "safe spaces" and changing certain rules that will affect ordinary people as opposed to treating them medically.
