A shame CollegeDoog isn't here as he could learn a thing or two.

Yes he woke up on third base and is bragging about getting a triple. The article wasn't that bad though.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:The author probably grew up like College Doog, then tells others to work hard.
I agree that this generation is the pussy generation though. -
I agree with some of the article. Part of the reason why it is the pussy generation is because of the parents. The parents of these kids in their 20's-30's all preached going to college. Back in the day, graduating from college gave people a real leg up on their competition. Now, everybody goes to college. It's getting really hard to get into college too. I would love to see a comparison of UW's entrance requirements now compared to 20 years ago. People still feel their college degree entitles them to a good salary, but it's just not reality.
I am starting to believe that if you don't go to a school in the top 10%, you are wasting your time. An Ivy League or a Stanford degree will probably pay off in the long run, but a lot of colleges are a big scam. It's a good investment if you major in a high demand field and keep the debt down, but many rack up a shit load of debt for a job that doesn't pay enough to justify it. You aren't only getting in debt, you are wasting 4-5 years of building a resume with prior work history, not to mention making money instead of taking out loans that you will pay off for years. -
The same parents also told them they were special and gave them trophies for coming in last place which is a huge part of the problem.RoadDawg55 said:I agree with some of the article.

Going to an average college to get a fucktarded liberal arts degree is the problem. -
True, but @RoadDawg55 is correct, but there is a sense of entitlement some people get just because of a degree. At this point it feels like a college degree is starting to become little more than a HS diploma and a Masters is the new higher education. Not that the masters is any type of guarantee, I've got some consultants at work now with very expensive education and hardly an ounce of common sense between them.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

In a social sense, they are totally pussies. This guy comes across as one of the people whose company was bailed out by....socialism for the rich, then turns around and tells others what to do. Wages/salaries have stagnated or gone done for most professions and jobs, the wife usually has to work now, college loans are soaking people. He ignores all of that. Want to start a small business? It's not like demand is high for some of the reasons I mentioned. But loansharking is good business right now. This is mostly just simplistic platitudes. Yes, I am a pussy liberal arts major, but facts are facts.He_Needs_More_Time said:

Here's a solution: kill all people.
That'll fix everything. -
This has gotten really bad, but it's newer than people in their 20's and 30's. In my little league glory days, it was pretty competitive. I never played a sport where they didn't keep score, even when I was 5 or 6 years old. When I was 9 and 10, there were kids who didn't get off the bench unless it was a blowout. If it was a close game, they wouldn't play. They would cry and their moms would complain, but it didn't change a thing.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

It's a mess nowadays. I went to a cousin's basketball game a few years ago. These kids were 13 and 14 years old. After the first quarter, the score would be changed to tied no matter what. Every kid had to play at 4 minutes per half. At halftime, the losing team would be put ahead by 2 points. After the third quarter, the game would be tied again. It was some really whacky shit, and I have no idea how they came up with these rules, let alone nobody had a problem with it. I yelled at my aunt for allowing him to play in such a shitty league and she told me it was actually AAU basketball. I'm still mad about it when I think about it. -

Dude who killed them is a crazy old man and I don't have a problem locking him up, but those kids were stupid.
If you're going to break into PLSS' house, you better be ready for anything.
GROW THE HELL UP AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS!

There's a lot more truth in this article than not.
A lot of 20-somethings think that the world owes them something. They can never answer what they are owed. And they bristle any time you ask them to do anything that involves hard work and sacrifice.
They are going to wake up some day, get to 40, and realize that they completely fucked up - sucks to be them.
But fuck the idiots that think that those that work hard, take and accept risk, and are willing to sacrifice today for a better future are OBLIGATED to provide for those that just want to suck on the teet of others. -
These are very true. I don't believe in working hard simply for the sake of working hard. I do think this generation is smarter in a way than old ones because of that. Don't work hard to make peanuts and get fucked being a cog in the wheel. Too many people work their ass off their entire life, and for what? They grind away at a shitty job because of the security instead of betting themselves and learning new skills that may open them to a better job. Work hard when you know you can move up, grow, and get better opportunities. Work hard when you find something you enjoy doing. There's no point being miserable to work your ass off at a shitty job.Tequilla said:There's a lot more truth in this article than not.

Part of why I do have a problem with older people preaching about why it was so much harder back in the day is because it is irrelevant. There were also fucktards from every generation. Older people have turned their nose at the younger generation for a long, long time. That's great that you had to walk 3 miles in the snow to go to school everyday, but if you had a better alternative, you wouldn't have done that. The old man might hate technology, thinks it is ruining the world, but if you don't embrace it, you're falling behind. -
Absolutely agree with the idea that those claiming that they walked uphill 3 miles in the snow both way are fucktarded as well.
There are things we do better today than the previous generation. Same will be true of the next generation and the generation after that.
But one of the values from the older generation is that it's hard to earn anything without hard work. That very much is true.
A lot of people think that there's just blind luck in the world. Luck is really working your ass off, giving yourself an opportunity, and being prepared to execute when the opportunity presents itself. -
I thought Clint made a pussy-type ending in Grand Torino. I would have rather seen him go guns blazing in the end on that gang who raped their cousin, like he did in Unforgiven.
Clint seems to have an obvious, recurring thing for dealing with "pussy entitlement" issues. -
I'm hearing that "pussy on a pedestal" is pissed off at "pussy entitlement" for being the go-to "pussy" related phrase

Too many people want to suck at a mediocre job and get paid well for it rather than paying the price to develop skills that will make their lives (and society) better. The younger generation doesn't have a monopoly on this but I'd say it's certainly becoming more and more common.
Working hard to obtain skills that will open doors to be a better jerb > working hard at a shitty jerb > barely working at a shitty jerb. -
You could just work for Boeing, do nothing, brag about it, and get payed a shitload in the process.

This thread delivers so many good intakes on this.
I remember growing up my Elementary, Middle and High School would separate you based on your math scores and reading scores. There was the highest, 2nd highest, 2nd lowest and the lowest.
Fast forward 8 years my younger sister has this program where they don't separate the kids. They felt it was "unfair" to label kids early on and to separate them. So the smart kids never got smarter as the dumb kids dragged every one down. Go to high school and my sister was struggling in both by our family standards because there was no motivation to improve since it was never stressed.
I agree with Road Dawg that those in the late 20's to early 30's weren't affected. The pussy generation started with the early 20 something year olds. He's also right that so many fucktards get some bullshit degree and then come into the real world expecting to jump into a 60K a year starting salary. Then have a reality check when they realize their degree is fucking useless.
So instead of doing something about it they sit around and bitch and moan. It's why the average age for living with mom and dad has increased. It's up to 31 years old now I believe(feel free to correct me) because so many are fucking lazy.
Reminds me of Dude Brah as head coach. "I always knew the turnaround would happen but I never knew it would be so soon" is what he said after the USC game. I'm sure at that point at 2-1 with the lone loss being a tough fought game against LSU he probably thought it was going to be fucking easy. Dude Brah is the type of coach who just feels entitled to success and won't bust his ass to get it. Probably never had to work hard at anything in his life and it's why he was a good college QB who couldn't even last one year in the CFL. Has no work ethic at all and is a total fucking pussy. -
I always tell people my best teacher in HS was the one who made sure you were in your seat by the time the bell rang (not standing up in the classroom socializing but in your seat ready with your homework and texts ready to go) and docked attendance points (in a pretty harsh way would affect your grade) and didn't give pity points for simply "trying".
I wish all of my HS teachers would have been like this so I wouldn't have been such a fucktard in college. We get too many pats on the back these days for just trying, even if our efforts were last second procrastination that fucking sucked. -
So many today view the word "competition" as a bad word ...
There's winning and losing all over the place. Get used to it. -
This article reads like something written by a college freshman. While I agree that this generation is extremely entitled, he went down for the count on the "people harass the 1% should realize that these people achieved their money through hard work." The richest people I know are some of the laziest and most entitled because most got their money from mommy and daddy.
-
Shit changes fast nowadays. Working smart is more important than working hard. You always have to make yourself valuable and keep an eye on where things are going.

Every generation has it's share of talented people and lazy fuckholes. I have a bullshit degree from UW (history) which at the time I thought as long as I graduated as an honors student I would at least get an opportunity to work my way up. Also I've wanted to go to UW since I was 8 and I probably would not have gotten accepted for engineering or cs. All of my friends there had super gay degrees (comparative religion, most of the programs in the Jackson School, philosophy). Their attitude was, "we got in to UW, we had awesome SAT/grades in hs, time to celebrate for the next 4 years." When we got out in 2010 we all got whatever we could get before coming to the conclusion that you need graduate school or some other skills to get the dream job. All of my friends are now going to Seattle U or some similar college getting masters in the same bullshit major that they had at UW, b/c even grad school for that shit is fucking easy, while I said fuck it and went back for CS at wsuv down here, taking my lumps. I just had my first 'big boy' job offer from a company in Portland today (yay for me ftfyme), but interestingly one of the hiring managers talked about a guy who worked at Oracle for 20 years and came walking in thinking he was going to shit all over them and get an offer, and when they asked him to do a simple thing in the terminal in Linux (something you learn in the first 2 minutes of programming) he just turned to them and said he couldnt do it. Guy had a spoon up his asshole for so long that he longer had the relevant skills.
I'm rambling now and this post already sounds like I need to staple x-mas cards to my gay naked body and jump in a pile of jagged flint, but the part in the article about just keeping your head down and working hard and adapting is true. Tons of people in my generation have already given up or are still in full-blown Sark mode.
