Sure, which is why most classifications of generational differences don't have hard dates of demarcation

@magley64 Some maybe accurate...some maybe not.  I just wish they'd get off they're damn phones and drive!!!

Oh yeah, and get off my damn lawn.

You tried... Their damn phones

We're fixing this problem, self-driving cars are coming, then being on the phone isn't a problem anymore.

Well then you're using the term wrong...

I call absolute bullshit on blaming parents. My mom was just alright and my dad was absolutely terrible. They got divorced when I was 9 years old and I turned out just fine and don't think the world owes me shit. I work for what I have

I'll grant you anomalies, great parents can raise a shitty kid, shitty parents can raise a good one, but if your position is that a whole generation is shit, it's the generation raising them that didn't do their job.

Typical liberal millennium response...."it's someone else's fault".

You want better kids, you should've raised better kids.

I don't consider myself a millennial but I am told I was born right in the middle of that group so on behalf of millennials I would like to formally apologize for my fucktarded generation.  The closest thing to a defense I can summon is blame the baby boomers and gen Xers, they raised us. 

I was born in 84, so there is some debate over which generation I actually belong to...

I experienced the world before the Internet was widely used, I was around before cell phones were common... But these were certainly common after I reached my teenage years.

But you're absolutely right about who is to blame. If gen x or boomers are pissed, then Millennials should've had better parents.

Also, this happens every generation. "Kids these days" is a phrase uttered by every generation about the next.

Paging @magley64. Please correct the record. 

Some quick back of the napkin math shows the keystone has the potential to dump 400 gallons of bitumen per second.

The people building it forecast 2 pipeline bursts every 10 years... And we all know they're going to give the lowest possible estimate.

Yea? I have the turbin osama bin laden was wearing when freedom knocked on his door and shot him in the face.

What's a turbin?

Neither?

Or you are a determinist but not a pussy...

I understand. Thanks for clarifying. We have very different opinions about the concept of freedom. 

So I take it you're not a determinist?

You oppose the death penalty for mass murders but support the death penalty for unborn children whose only crime is being in the wrong womb.

HTH

I said nothing about either of those in that post.

Are you serious? Just read your post. You said you don't care about laws and break them at will, but would ditch the mullet-mobile if they said you had to. 

If the penalty for driving it was prison, yes. That would deter me from ever driving it again. 

That's a deterrent, something I would otherwise be willing to do, I'm no longer willing to do because of new consequences.

I would oppose such a law as stupid and frivolous, but as long as it was law, it's not worth the risk.

If it were something I cared more about, I'd be more apt to risk it, but it would certainly deter me.

I don't believe you and I share the same definition of "freedom". 

Also, you contradicted the piss out of yourself in this post. 

Freedom in this context means "not locked in a cage"

And by all means point out my contractions...

Prison is only a deterrent for law abiding people. Segregation and punishment are all it does. Which is fine.

Prison is a deterrent for anyone who values freedom... I could give a shit about laws, and break them constantly. I'm in no way "law abiding" and I'm okay with that. If there were a new law saying "anyone caught driving a Camaro will go to prison" I'd unload my car without a second thought... A Camaro matters less to me than my freedom in general.

Is prison revenge?

Shouldn't be. My personal view on prison is twofold. 1. Deterrent, people like freedom, they're less likely to act poorly if their freedom can be removed temporarily.

2. Segregation of dangerous individuals. Some of the people can't be trusted to live in a civilized society.
