Apparently the meme about being spanked as a child then having the psychological condition known as respect for others is difficult to understand. i think this says it all.

Posted here as The Funny Images thread...enough said.

That's Gold :)

yes The Funny Images thread.... is for just that, (but some people/Millennials cant follow guidelines) so I have not commented there on a pic I posted ages ago.
I think it fitted in with other funny pics at the time.

I vote for the "reply" button should be disabled in said thread

Classic!!!! "thedrip" ain't no drip.

Wife just got together with some friends, who has one of these still living at home. apparently looking for a job invovles getting up at 12, visiting a friend then coming home Every day for dinner.

Brilliant.

My my kids are 9 and 10... the millennials on crack...it's Not getting any better folks.

Is it just that every parent thinks that their children are the best and can't be wrong? The trend for smaller families probably encourages this.

Dont know how you can blame kids.....all they did wrong was hangout and be directly influenced by yiu lot or whomever is their parents......its that generation that stuffed it, wanted to be friends instead of parents

John John Florence would be classed as a millenial

Yes yes yes! I encounter so many parents complaining about their kids, yet these same parents are enablers, can't or wont say no, just ruining these poor kids.

Yep,, they started negotiating with children.

Weren't we all complaining recently about Gen Y being useless good-for-nothings? I think every society despairs of its coming of age generation, just as they despair of their predecessors. Aren't the Baby Boomers hogging all the wealth at the moment?

Where's the guidelines?

You can generalize all you want about millennials but the fact is there were stereotypes like that long before this generation began (60s beatniks, 90s dropkicks.. etc)

Even more, we have a higher rate of university attendance and graduation then we have had ever before...

Don't just by in to all this bull**** people spew about "millennials being good for nothing spoiled brats with an entitlement complex" because that psychological condition can be found across multiple eras in multiple cultures, and the statistical facts about employment and education indicate otherwise.

I see this as just another psychological coping mechanism for old farts to think their age hasn't lost any value because apparently "their generation was the best". It really sounds no different to Grandpa in the 60s saying the same old "Back in myyy daaayy, kids used to respect their elders".

Why don't you go and rant about something more important and factual and stop venting your frustrations about getting old in to weak arguments about the millennial generation specifically, we'll all soon be dead, get over it.

Errrm. Does that rant mean you are a "millennial"?

The funny thing about millennial bashing is that the people doing the bashing are the parents of the millennials who made them the way they are.

hay what is a millenial ? im sill not sure if i am gen x or y but what is a millenial? who was gen z ?

Lol. Just like you don't get a meme about discipline breeding respect for others...

It's implied and comes with a community understanding and consensus - sort of like respect for others.

I think you just proved the point about a lack of respect for others.

It's not a lack of respect, it's an over-developed sense of entitlement.

Like, people think it's acceptable to commit IP theft so they don't have to wait for movies and tv shows to arrive in their country...that's my latest fav.

^ I never understood how the film or television show was any worse if you had to wait a few weeks. What happens to it?

Ditto people that want to see my holiday photos now before I select & crop and adjust and tweak to make masterpieces out of them.

Ditto people that reply something like "But that movie came out years ago," implying that I must have lost my mind to watch it, and perhaps something worse because I didn't hide the fact. And could I please move away from them now.

Not even sure these people are people at all.

Yep. Gen X is awesome. No complaints from anyone.

Generation X are possibly only generation that doesn't like themselves.

Think about it. All of that self-loathing punk music, grunge. We were useless but we knew we were useless.

I was going to post a cultural icon like Henry Rollins or Jello Biafra or Johnny Rotten spitting on the crowd, but then I realised how I could clearly demonstrate just how much we as a generation sucked and how much we knew it in one, fowl image:

We're the middle children of history.... no purpose or place. We have no Great War, no Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives.

You can't say Generation X was less than any other generation because we already own that.
