I'm right at the tip of Gen Y. Safety has never been at the forefront of my mind with most things I've done

I know some people here are going to whine and ***** about how better things were when Chester A. Arthur was president.

Not me. Actually a very interesting link, and the supporting links to get to the data are legit.

I will ask however, given the stats, how they are improving the world from their parents basement

You're supposed to believe that they (and gen-x) will pay for all the retirees.

Yeah, they want to take over the house above the basement. And if the VA can sit and wait, they can wait.

How many of you actually thought/think you'd get your parents house when they kick off? That thought process has always been foreign to me...

it's an excuse for being Eunuchs when compared to previous generations. Gen Y "cares" Oh boy, what a contribution

Maybe soon 3M will be putting out products that say things on the label: "Imperial Hand Glaze- use product their and sparengly. Polish to grate shine.."

Gen Y in action - yeah buddy!

The whole generation "cares" by *****ing about it on FB....

Maybe attending a ****ing rally about 1%'ers. Ya, that's great, effective too.

Just wait until they hear dad say Son, I'm selling the house and buying an RV. Maybe one of your friends basement is big enough for you and your videogame library.

Hard to argue against the data when you have stunning examples such as this...

More like generation do nothing.

How do you know that you are having fun unless you are getting into trouble?

All kidding aside that Shenanigans cart just blows my mind.

The one thing up, even more so.

WOW, what a bunch of whiney beotches...

Look around, beyond the cell... so much infrastructure provided by generations before. Even enough technical infrastructure to make easy work of the production a sarcastic video focused on why the earlier gens didn't do enough for the current. Ha!
