I'd like to see a WWII vet give the same speech to this baby boomer, the most entitled generation in the last 100 years.
No we're not all special... neither are you pretentious old fartbag. Try giving the speech off the cuff rather than reading it of the paper that you probably proof read and rehearsed 100 times.

That's all you take from it? From Plato's Apology, "The wisest among you, human beings, is anyone like Socrates who has recognized that with respect to wisdom he is truly worthless”
Say what you say, but i dissagree with you. Telling people that they're special does not encourage growth and maturity.
If you were to speak at such an occasion, would you not put together a well-versed speech?
Edit: maybe one is special to one's friends and family, but in the wide concept of things-who really is special?
