    Why is the Y generation so dumb?!

    Fuck, they're as dumb as door knobs. No imagination, no creativity, no originality.

    I'm not sure what generation I am, is there a graph?
    Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
    think about that

        You need consumers, not creators ...

              I think people have always been followers, but now you have mass media telling people being a follower is cool.

                    i think the term generation isn't used very affectively with those models... If you break it up into decades where you were in your teens and twenties it gives people a better idea I would say...

                        That makes you a baby boomer. Gen X didn't start until 1965 births.

                          I dont see Gen Y as being dumb per se, however, they've never really known a life where all the information wasn't right at your fingertips right here right now.

                            if i may be so bold as to make an observation about the y gen, i'd say they have a greater sense of entitlement than generations that came before them.

                              I worked close with several Gen Y'ers at an office for a few years. It was pretty obvious most of them have been told they're little princes and princesses for their entire lives. They wanted to be in charge of something the first week they get on the job, and eventually they want your job, because they can automatically do it better.

                              These are facts to me, because I've lived through it first hand -- and its the reason I run my own business now. So I don't have to deal with self-entitled punks. That, and I can work in my underwear.

                                    Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western post?World War II baby boom ended.[1] While there is no universally agreed upon time frame,[2] the term generally includes people born in the mid-1960s and the '70s up through the early '80s, and usually not later than 1982.[3][4][5] The term had also been used in different times and places for various different subcultures or countercultures since the 1950s.[6]

                                        The answer is quite simple. They were not allowed to go outside to play and use their imagination, they were plopped down in front of a video game system. All thanks to the "Mister Stranger Danger" propaganda that they, and their parents were fed...

                                              Not all Gen Y. You get some Gen Y from China or India and you are probably looking at some of the smartest people on the planet. It's only really western Gen Y who have grown up in an environment where you can do no wrong, there are no winners and losers, and you get a pat on the back for managing to spell your name who are so pathetic.

                                                It probably just wasn't funny on my part.
                                                My initial post on dumb gen Yers was about this bernie dance which is based on weekend at bernies movie, then I responded to your quote that they feel a sense of entitlement using the reaction from the still of that movie, pretty much in shock/anger/disgust that they should feel that way. Since one was posted under another I felt it would validate the image posted. I need to stop looking at memes, I think I just hit rock bottom lol.

                                                I try to toss out silly pics on gfy as much as possible, I guess they cant all be winners XD.

                                                    __________________________________________________ __
                                                    In late 2010, a song called "Movin' Like Bernie" was released by rapper ISA and became popular on the internet. The song describes a dance in which one pretends to be dead like the titular character of the film. [4]

                                                    >>I have also attached one of white people doing it to avoid any racial comments

                                                    Yeah, but maybe it's racist to have watched the first video and for some reason you
                                                    can't see the white guy doing it all the way through that video.










                                                    But I feel ya, he's "acting black" so therefore he must be.


                                                    Fail.
                                                    Good luck.

                                                      The purple teletubby in the second video is hispanic and clearly that's what I was referring to.

                                                        Generation X, commonly abbreviated to Gen X, is the generation born after the Western post?World War II baby boom ended.[1] While there is no universally agreed upon time frame,[2] the term generally includes people born in the mid-1960s and the '70s up through the early '80s, and usually not later than 1982.[3][4][5] The term had also been used in different times and places for various different subcultures or countercultures since the 1950s.[6]
                                                        As far as I'm concerned... Gen X births end in the 70s. No offense to my friends in their early 30s and younger, but their lives and experiences are not in the same group as those of us born in the 60s and 70s. We grew up playing atari, worked for 3.35 / hour at our first jobs for the most part and could identify with "the breakfast club."
