I'm not upset at all.

Why can’t you keep your opinion about millennials to yourself without posting it on the internet?

I can.

You don't know everyone that didn't post about. You can only see the ones that do post about it. For all you know, only 1 in a million post about the nice things they do.
DingDong!
The same reason you made this tread - craving attention. I bet you completely wasted your Saturday checking in on LRC, hitting refresh, and waiting for replies.
They're plain stupid.

Ok
Why did you post your opinion about millennials on the internet while complaining they post everything on the internet?

God forbid you run in a large road race and finish somewhere near the back of the midpack and although you got a PR, you did not a finisher medal.
This is why.

I did not complain that millennials post everything on the internet.
The first rule of everything is this:
If you didn't post it, it never happened.
Get used to it.

Z’s have X parents. Millennials have boomer parents. Poor X, always forgotten like the generation after the “Greatest”
it was likely the same deal with the Silent Generation and the way they looked at the Boomers--parents of Gen X like mine were born in 1940--prior to the Boomers--generally it was "shut up and do your job" compared to the generation after them; personally as a gen X, it is comical watching Millennials and Boomers slag each other...
Participation trophies were never the idea of the participants. I’d be shocked if you could find a generational preference for finishers’ medals.
Participation trophies given to them for everything while children has made them expect instant gratification and to be rewarded for doing anything.
They are a generation of d-bags. Take out ridiculous student loans, which is a contract they sign, then complain about it. Film everything, good or bad.

Then why do world records keep getting broken? Didn’t this generation give up?

Yes, blame it on participation trophies (whatever "it" is).
Let's assume for a moment that it's true that "millenials", this supposedly monolithic group of however many millions of people, truly do tend to "expect instant gratification and to be rewarded for doing anything". Should they be blamed for that? After all, they didn't invent participation trophies themselves so their parents would give them to them. It was the generations BEFORE them that came up with that tradition and inflicted it on their progeny. You can't honestly get mad at a 7-year-old kid because his/her parent gave him/her a participation trophy.
So it seems to me that if you find a generation of people despicable, it makes more sense to direct your bile towards the preceding generation who raised them. And what made that preceding generation so defective? Why, the generation that preceded THEM...

Why do 40 year old white dudes come to LRC to say racist & sexist things? Every generation has their flaws. Up to you if you want to make sweeping generalizations or not.
How would this even effect you if you think this is how younger folks behave? Better than older folks with the bootstraps mentality who won't help people at all.
They do.
