Your posting history makes everyone weary of your questions BAZ. The fact that you can't see that show how blind you truly are.
For the 50-60-70 year olds
1. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times; and still not know what time it is.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind-of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blu-Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of a Word document and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with "Miller Lite" than "Kay".
17. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
18 How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
19. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
20. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Jeans? Jeans never get dirty; and you can wear them forever.
21. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket; finding their cell phone; and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey...but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.
22. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it took only 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.

First of all... I have met, bought him a drink and had a conversation with the man. As many of the fine ladies around can attest to, he is a gentleman first and foremost. Just because he calls BS out, doesn't make him a bad person. It just shows he's got heart.
Now, on to the topic at hand...
IMHO, kids today DO have it hard...
When I was young, I left the house at 9 in the morning and had a blast for an entire day, hiking along the river banks, going for a swim, climbing trees, hanging with my buddies, playing baseball, football, soccer street hockey or whatever. I'd pack a lunch (sometimes my mom would do so for me...) and if she was lucky, she wouldn't see me till sundown. Through these experiences we learned responsibilities and social skills that make us successful as adults.
For the most part, kids now-a-days have few social skills, have little or no sense of responsibility, and have a clear sense of entitlement. :NoNoNo:
Who's had it worse???

Can't argue with most of that, Ridgeman. I had a great childhoold because I wasn't glued to the TV or video games. But when I got a job as a teen, I gave a damn, worked hard, and did my best to exceed expectations. That latter part seems to be missing these days...

Exactly! I got a job 3 weeks before my 15th B-day. Busted my tail for almost 4 years (all through high school essentially). Bought all my own clothes, my first car, my first stereo and saved enough to move out on my own when I was almost 19.
As much as I tried to instill that same set of values and ethics in my own kids... things just aren't the same. :no:

Seems all the young people I know are more than a cut above average. They are all exceptionally bright, hard-working, steady and level-headed. Probably over achievers. Musicians, painters, actors, dancers, nurses, teachers, realtors, engineers, accountants, fire fighters, business entrepreneurs, all professional in their own right.
I cannot find fault with any of them or chide them about values or work ethic.
My son is one of these young people. He and I have grown very close since his teen years. Even though he got into rambunctious shit back then, he was always an A student, focused and goal-oriented right through university. In the five years since graduating, he has grown a small high-tech start-up into a multinational firm and he has invested personally in a series of income properties.
In that respect, he far exceeds the energy and drive I (or any of my friends) had in our 20s. Best part is, he's become my closest pal. We chat daily, thanks to bluetooth in his car enroute to the office in the morning and home in the evening. We get together on weekends and tackle projects together ... build a fence, deck, shed, renovate an apartment, or maybe just goof off ... take in a ball game or rock concert or just relax on the patio with a cold beer and a mittfull of dreams.
I may be the luckiest dad in the world.
And that feels good.
