[Locked] ...Huh? *Activates Skills of Deduction*
Which generation of America do you stand up for?

This is from my personal experience.
Having seen a lot from both generations, I have to side with the Old Generation (OG) and be pretty biased against the New Generation (NG) as a whole. I am part of the NG, but I cannot get with the majority.
My reasons and experiences with the OG have always been great, they have some great stories and viewpoints of things. Their moral ethics are pretty high up and my parents raised me with such ethics. Sure, when I was young, I wanted to be a rebel. But I had too big of a conscience to start breaking rules, thanks to my parents. Sure, the OG people might be a bit biased or racist due to their own personal experiences, but who doesn't?
As for the NG, it has been mostly negative as a whole. Only my closest of friends are the only people I can have a great time with. But without them, I would be extremely biased against them. But it might because I have been exposed to the wrong people. I know people who go to parties on a weekly basis and go to drink, stay up to the early hours of the morning and do other ridiculous things such as take a trip to a place that is three ours away and come back at around 7 am without sleep. Along with some "golden" lines and questions. Such as: "Hey man, do you drink any beer at all?" "Nope, sorry, I don't like that stuff." "You're stupid man! That's what makes you a man!" and "A beer a day keeps the doctor away."
One of their worst traits is looking up to the wrong people or just to look cool, such as people wearing Che Guevara t-shirts yet having no idea who he really was, people supporting political ideas such as Communism and not having any stable argument or stable idea on why they like it. It is as if they have to be on top and everyone on the bottom or else they dislike the world. Acting like a professional or philosopher, yet some of the people I have come across just go on Facebook, steal quotes from other famous people and they get credit for making them, because their pals don't know where the quote, line or lyrics came from.
I know I'm being pretty biased, but that is what I'm surrounded by, however, I do know that there are diamonds in the rough around the world and I just have to find them.

Classic story of the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
First off, age is going to be a big determinent. Or do you honestly believe that the older generation has always been the way they are now?
Basically, people look back on the past with rose colored glasses. So it makes them feel they have higher values which means they create a new outlook even though they did very similar things they are now denouncing.
And let's face it, younger people are idiots about things. They just don't have as much experience and there are just things you don't get until you're older. Without consequences, people don't learn restraint.
A lot of the younger generation is just behaving with the same level of morality as any previous younger generation.
Comparing them to the older generation is a silly thing to do as they are on two different timelines which will skew results.
The only way to compare them properly is to forecast them across similar timelines. From young, adult, and older. If you do that you'll see a very similar pattern of behavior, it's just the nature of people.

"im always cute"
The scope of this thread is dumb. The United States of America is over 250 years old, are you saying that the only generations that matter are the ones in this century?
Also, the answer to multitudes of religion threads isn't to spam threads that are just as low quality. Tone it down, okay?
