"abrogating responsibility is a common trait of the younger set. change the colour of your balls and do something instead of whining like a baby."
Taking responsibily for this generation may do you some favours...it was you and your peers who raised them....man up and admit your faults!!
" having this same arguement with an arts degree type at work - common as muck and red as the pilbara dust. at least he has the gonads to get a job "
Mate I finished school at 15 and got a trade, I spent 10 years in the pilbara dust in the late 80's early 90's. I own my 7 figure house and haven't worked for a couple of years now as I have more than enough money at the moment, Ive done the yards to get setup.
That being the case and from your example I feel I have a right to an opinion, its just you don't like it.
Fact is baby boomers have been spoilt by govts and still are and future generations will have to pay for your excesses, this you cant deny.
