Millennials.............

[Nesset]

Meh.

I suppose I fall in this age catagory.

I drive a 2002 and still shoot film.

I'm a hipster because I enjoy analog things.

For only 25 cents a day you can save an induvidual like me.

This article made me die a little.

You liked E30s before they were even designed? E30s have been cool since they hit the market.

Sorry to disagree
They looked like a Toyota when they came out
I thought the design was a big blah....
But I do like the design now

This is what I've started to do:

I wave or flash my highs to anyone who looks like a car enthusiast. Doesn't matter what make, model, or...type of modification is on display. I used to poo-poo all that stuff, but at the end of the day they're just as excited about cars as I am. I may not personally like all of it, but I also don't own the cars!

This times 10000. I'm 50. Car enthusiasts are all the same. I have made some of my best friends by striking up a conversation about their cool cars. BMW'S, tuners, muscle cars, rods ect.... We all share a passion for our machines.

this is possible.

As anyone who's owned an e21 will agree. The e30 improved on every aspect of the e21

I guess they just need a great war to reach greatness :)

given what you see in the world today, the odds have certainly gone up

actually........

i attended a speech by a sociologist that studies demographics, characteristics of the different generations

and guess what

the millennials are equivalent to the WWII generation
pro USA, more religious than not, drug usage going down, community oriented, don't like arguing and seek consensus, pro self responsibility, and generally believe smaller government is better

my son is 28, daughter is 31 and i see this in them and their friends

the millennials will eventually restore good governance at least as much as they can

once you'all get old enough to care about voting

UM, when I volunteer at elementary schools, middle schools and highschools?

Ah, anecdotal evidence, easily the strongest form.

What's the point in being so concerned about an entire generation when you should be more worried about your own shit? So what if people think what you have done to or put on your car is stupid. They can have their opinion just like you can about their car. Hop off the high horse "degrading car culture" bollocks. It changes with the times and what grabs the eye. From low riders to minitrucks, then to F&F/Pimp My Ride era styling, now to slamming everything or bagging everything. There's always a clique. Car culture is like high school if you think about it.

Stop caring so much and just enjoy the ride. Focus on your future, fuck what people think and accept that people have different tastes and make some good money. The less you worry and focus more on what make you happy, the better your outlook is.

How has no one told OP his truck is bad and he should feel bad?!?

[Wschnitz]

Woah hey guys look another one of these "millenials suck now justify my opinion" threads!

I agree some car meets are shit, but it's not a generational thing, I know for certain previous generations were shitters at car meets.

Now up off your high horse and go back to not caring.

Edit: don't know where gwb is getting more religious. Sounds like an anecdotal observation to me. Actual polls show millenials as least religious.

Interesting and would love to read that study! Perhaps you should still hold your conclusions from it. Hopefully this conservatism, you speak of, is learned quickly soon after these kids are leaving college for I see an overly PC culture rotting us from within.

Will say this and with the perspective of living in California (traveling to the east coast here and there) vs also living in Europe for a bit.

Arguing is good. Easily reaching consensus isn't necessarily a good thing when everyone agrees it's good to belittle one's beliefs or rights because they don't hold a popular opinion. Remember the 1st amendment is to protect unpopular speech, not the popular kind. Pro self responsibility? If that has anything beyond to staying fit then that is debatable. The responsibility for gathering information and critical thinking beyond main taking points given by the MSM isn't something that's too noticeable in the younger generation, and in our culture as a whole. The welfare state is generally agreed upon and strangers are usually strangers unless you're drunk enough.

I wonder if the WWII gen would almost kill themselves to get that perfect selfy or faceook fad? Perhaps the study left out the observation of quantity over quality. I see a vast sea of content for ignorance and it's usually a pleasant surprise when I encounter otherwise.

Disclaimer: Quality to me isn't people agreeing to my viewpoint no. There is a popular strategy of divide and conquer and this generation, like all the ones before it, are falling for it. If it wasn't the case, you wouldn't have so many people supporting violence at protests against political leaders, as just one small example. In the end, this generation's potential is limitless!!! We'll see where it goes when as you said, they start to vote!

Again, based on what evidence? Your perception and various news articles that repeat the same tired tropes over and over?

UM, when I volunteer at elementary schools, middle schools and highschools? I teach these about kids epilepsy since I have it.

I also travel a lot and talk to a lot of college kids. (Im only 28 myself) It's been a discussion now, by professors, on NPR and etc. describing how campuses are no longer a haven for ideas or relative free speech. Key word: relative. What are you fighting nando?

[supermansocks95]

There is a huge difference between a tap on the butt and beating your kids.

Just saying.

Definitely. I don't spank my daughter over everything, but if I tell her no enough times and she still tries to do it, then she gets a swat. You have to find a line for how much to spank them. Another thing is that you need to spend time with them and be genuine and earn their RESPECT. My mom spanked me like every day (I was a little shithead to my mom) and that did basically nothing. I highly respected and looked up to my dad as long as I can remember. I remember very few times that he's had to spank me. Only a couple of times with a belt when I did something really stupid. Basically, it's not quite as black and white as hitting and no hitting.
