20 something

our life will be much worse that our parents no matter how you mesure it we will have to pay back all the money Obama spent for buying votes and favors. Our parents are in debt trying to help us grown children when they die we will be left with a home we can't afford.college cost a fortune if you want to attend a good school and get a degree that means something.so yeah life will be much differant for us it will not be a quarter as comfortable as we had it as children. I don;t even think I ;ll be able to afford having children.

i disagree to a degree

this generation of 20 somethings is certaily not display a pattern of better bahaviour than previous generations.while crime rates might have been dropping since 1980(and i'm not sure i agree with that stat)way more crimes are being committed by preteeners and 20 somethings than ever before!

The 'me' generation

Seems like self-satisfaction has forgotten to be considerate and caring.

The way proper human nature brings success is putting others first.

This starts by respecting and honoring parents and leads to working to do quality work no matter what the work is, and no matter how much is paid, in a self-sacrificing way.

But, when an economy is driven by consumerism that is founded by a "me first" greed to use others to establish a sense of worthiness - thieves run the show.

We have a "follow your dream" attitude that only brings disappointment when the dream is recognized as... a dream.
