"8 Reasons Young Americans Don't Fight Back" - very insightful Bruce Levine article
LOL you don't have an argument, do you? If you do, why are you posting this drivel?
Did you expect something like "Old people these days?" as my response? You're doing nothing but exemplifying the fact that us Young'uns don't respond well to Ageism. You're only supporting my point.

More accurately she's baiting you after Juni delivered a mod warning. Actually responding with anything more than an acknowledgement of that fact is about as ill-advised as actually pulling the stunt in the first place.
As Juni's warning did not actually name a specific person or mention an age bracket, it presumably applies to any and all attempts to keep this thread on a personal note. Not just the young.
life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

Fuckin' A!
I had a very well written reply, with point by point corrections, and lost it all in one fell swoop. Now, rather than try typing that wonderful little tirade back out, again, let me reference Juni's warning. Which was the summation I was in the middle of, when my post disappeared.
This fight/argument/debate over which generation is fucked up (and which one isn't) is now OVER. I have much less patience than Juni. Don't push me.
