He needs to keep his opinions to himself, for sure, but playing devil’s advocate for a second - when I was 22, I had no interest in 75 year old history either; it came to me at least 10 years later.2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2

Does someone living today owe something to any point of history? If so how far back do you wish to go? 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

HWN fear not that age group are not all like that not by a country mile.
My daughters are 22 and 26, both psychology graduates, the elder one now a college lecturer in psychology and the younger doing her masters in behavioural psychology, prime candidates for snowflakeness, both proper country girls at heart, can handle guns, skin and gut rabbits etc, light a fire with a flint etc. They would eat that big girls blouse for breakfast, while explaining what his problem was in words bigger than he could probably comprehend and that he is talking spherical things about it harming mental health.
They say that while Snowflakes are of their generation, they are not representative of their generation and that they have probably existed in most generations, just that Facebook, Twitter and Instagram ect have given them a voice.==================================

What's your expectation...put the percieved snowflakes through some conflict just to toughen their nipples .... don't blame those for views on something you haven't experienced yourself ...at no point is he being disrespectful of the past ...but does not own it 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

I dont think he is a millennial - i think he is one of the later generations.
Eitherway - he needs to go away, to be polite.
I think there are some in generations now that need to man up and move on.Mike
