This is such a terrible debate. I can't believe I read all of it, jesus.

Nothing's worse than ridiculous wide-sweeping stereotypes targeting gigantic swaths of people based on age. I hate demographic debates. And I have to chime in because of how time-wasting it is. It's not all that different than debating about any other stereotype and they don't ring true for any one particular person. That is because shockingly no one person is the same. You probably learned that after your first birthday or so. If you don't know that yet, you've got much bigger problems than sitting around struggling to know how to treat demographics of people spanning 20 years of birth history. Age debates are largely a waste of time, particularly in this setting and just a bunch of people getting defensive about... something that they don't completely understand other than their own pre-conceived biases and determinations. Making lazy and bizarre statements about what the "truth is".

It's not like there are a billion factors that go into an entire generation that are the cause of any such stereotypes. It's not like these factors are even controlled by any of the groups and it's not like these stereotypes fit everybody exactly.

It's like when my work does that stupid ####ing colours thing. Oh you're a BLUE... I have to talk to you using numbers as symbols to communicate! Thanks HR. More like I'll tell Bob exactly what I need from him and not treat him like I've psychoanalyzed a pre-determined motivation to get him to do what I need to satisfy my exclusive interests. Not to mention if I treated Bob like that he'd tell me to #### off or worse never talk to me again and I wouldn't blame him.

Like honestly how completely idiotic does it sound when you state that an ENTIRE generation is harder working than another? Extremely. I can tell you that based on what I see... that you can't differentiate which is what's being done in this thread like it's gospel for any which side of the lame ass debate.
