What's with these "Millenials"?

[Copprhed]

How does this work and what am I?
Grandparents lived through the WWII, does this therefore make my mother a boomer and me a mellenial?
Or is it determined my birthdate? GPs in the 1920s, mother 1960s and me the 1980s.. I'm lost

You're a Brit...you don't count...

Millennials .... pfffft

Back in my day we were given lawn darts to play with.  It was nature's way of weeding out the "slow kids"

And we watched our families die on The Oregon Trail... of typhoid!

I think that's a big part of it. Between parents sheltering children from any conceived harm to the anonymity of the internet, the idea of consequences to actions are, many times, entirely foreign to this generation.

It's not all of us, not by a long shot, and as has been mentioned, those who break from this mold are often ASTOUNDING individuals, but the rift between the productive and the anchors is growing.

I was just thinking about that earlier today because somebody posted this thread titled "Unfair Suspension" in the forum of another game.

"I was told i had a name that was against naming laws.. I had a server official contact me and changed my name without warning.. i referred to him as a son of a squeak and now suspended. I apologize for the name calling but this seems a little excessive.. anything i can do for a lift of the suspension please?"

First thing that came to my mind when I read it was Dwight Schrute "Did you grow up in a household without consequences?"

So, going by tumor's logic, myself and a good number of the people I know are waste products just because of the fact that A:  parents divorced before they turned 18, B: have no faith to speak of, or C: both. I fall under C, so take from that what you want.

Im number A so I must be just plain radioactive

  I was not pointing out you were wrong.  But FWIW my opinion stands... and you're helping.  No offense.

  Good lord... there is NO "not offending" some people.  GUESS WHO! lol

It's not a question of being offended. We aren't. We think your idea is silly, and we think we've offered examples of it not being true.
