At least from where I'm sitting.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 26/10/2018 04:31:35 PM

I wouldn't call it failure to understand or laughing at another's pain, but I see it more as being exasperated by the fact that you have pain in the first place.

The generations before you were in a tough mindset after the death of another person...or seeing their friends blown apart. To see the effects of death and destruction right in front of them.... To see people dying...

As opposed to this generation which it appears is in the same mental place, but instead of death and destruction, it is from them not getting their own way. The election didn't have the outcome you wanted. People are challenging your beliefs, and you lack the ability to stand up to those challenges. You're coming to the realization that you won't always get your way, and that is upsetting.

At least...that's what it appears to be from this angle.

So is it only the college students who are pathetic? aerocontrols - 23/10/2018 01:14:28 PM 405 Views
apparently this study was focused on college students damookster - 23/10/2018 01:45:35 PM 425 Views

If it helps, I came across an article recently... Legolas - 23/10/2018 06:49:22 PM 433 Views
I'm not sure we do. aerocontrols - 23/10/2018 07:14:46 PM 422 Views

That's not what that link says. Legolas - 23/10/2018 06:44:21 PM 454 Views
But it did suggest they are more likely to be diagnosed PTSD in the future as a result The Shrike - 23/10/2018 06:51:47 PM 411 Views
And? That would be the case for any kind of 'event-related distress'. Legolas - 23/10/2018 07:08:13 PM 408 Views
Easy target because so many of them are horrible. *NM* The Shrike - 23/10/2018 07:30:05 PM 230 Views
cheap shots at today's college students is the definition of low-hanging fruit *NM* damookster - 23/10/2018 07:51:59 PM 226 Views
Easy target because every generation likes to pick on the youngsters of the next generation. Legolas - 23/10/2018 08:09:58 PM 410 Views
Bah! damookster - 23/10/2018 08:13:23 PM 405 Views
It is what all the news accounts of the study say however. damookster - 23/10/2018 07:48:56 PM 400 Views
So what you're saying is, you should be blaming the liberal media instead of liberal students? Legolas - 23/10/2018 07:57:53 PM 384 Views
It is a race to the bottom Roland00 - 23/10/2018 08:11:39 PM 402 Views
