From here... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 26/10/2018 06:04:06 PM

I would say right off the bat, that I am not outraged. I very intentionally try and not use hyperbolic language. Mild Irritation? Sure. Frustrated? Sure. Outraged? Not in the least.

I'm not as old as Damookster (so my perspective may be different), but what I'm seeing is huge swaths of people who haven't faced a real challenge, yet are crumbling at the minor obstacles that they are facing. This is disheartening, because I then wonder what will happen when they do face a real challenge. When they take their places of leadership in this country (and society), will they crumble again when so much more is expecting them to stand fast?

Can't find a job after you got a $100k degree in Women's Studies, African American History, or Social Media Communications? The jobs you do find won't pay you $15.50 an hour? Your school loans are downing you? You can't buy your own home when you want to? Someone challenges you by saying "There are only two genders, and one cannot switch from one to the other by 'Identifying' as the other."...and you can't deal with it and need a Safe Space? Or better yet, you get to vote in and participate in a General Election...and your candidate looses, despite all the cards stacked in her favor.

And now you're getting PTSD? Ok...

My emotions on the subject won't change the situation. However, their emotions on the subject just reinforce the fact that my characterization of you was correct in the first place.

So is it only the college students who are pathetic? - 23/10/2018 01:14:28 PM 364 Views

That's not what that link says. - 23/10/2018 06:44:21 PM 409 Views
But it did suggest they are more likely to be diagnosed PTSD in the future as a result - 23/10/2018 06:51:47 PM 364 Views
And? That would be the case for any kind of 'event-related distress'. - 23/10/2018 07:08:13 PM 366 Views
Easy target because so many of them are horrible. *NM* - 23/10/2018 07:30:05 PM 211 Views
Easy target because every generation likes to pick on the youngsters of the next generation. - 23/10/2018 08:09:58 PM 369 Views
Bah! - 23/10/2018 08:13:23 PM 356 Views
It is what all the news accounts of the study say however. - 23/10/2018 07:48:56 PM 358 Views
So what you're saying is, you should be blaming the liberal media instead of liberal students? - 23/10/2018 07:57:53 PM 347 Views
It is a race to the bottom - 23/10/2018 08:11:39 PM 360 Views
just blame the libs. it's easier *NM* - 23/10/2018 08:12:30 PM 211 Views
Is it true though? - 23/10/2018 09:04:10 PM 381 Views
blame whomever you want... - 23/10/2018 09:08:14 PM 356 Views
I blame the "destructive spirit" - 23/10/2018 10:17:52 PM 407 Views
What's the mental disorder for failure to understand blended with glee at other's suffering? - 23/10/2018 09:51:00 PM 363 Views
It must be a heavy burden - 23/10/2018 09:54:56 PM 371 Views

Mookie please don't put words in my mouth / project my intentions onto others - 24/10/2018 01:16:52 AM 366 Views
Fair enough. I won’t use you as a reference again. *NM* - 24/10/2018 01:24:00 AM 209 Views
Feel free to use me as a reference - 24/10/2018 01:31:53 AM 353 Views
