I am 42 and thus in the generation just ahead of you. In some ways I think my generation is a little tougher but toughening comes with years and your generation will get tougher in time.

There is one major thing that I admire about your generation. Your generation is more tolerant. I don't know how it is down under, but this is what I see here in the US. When I see people of your age in groups I usually see mixed goupings of different races. My generation is much more segregated. Your generation also seems to accept people of various sexual orientations and religous differences much more openly than mine. You are part of the most equal generation in history and that is a great thing.

Australia is a little bit different, it depends where you go. Males here will still descriminate against poofters and their is a bit of racism. But it's not racism like, "lets kill em all" etc.

This would be a different story if I had made this statement on a farm paddock. But honestly, I think people are just saying stuff like, well things change, or office jobs are harder, just to try hide from the fact that they have nothing on their ancestors in terms of work ethic and physical fitness.

You're right. Absolutely.
Advancement means nothing. I guess we should build things like the Egyptians did.

i dont know i kinda view some office jobs as soul destroying. i do enjoy the outdoors, landscaping and making thing with my hands, but i hate hardwork if it doesnt involve interests of mine . i dont know how to balance that lol


but i do think the physical fitness aspect of your statement could be wrong. polio was pretty popular a 100 years ago. in the dark ages bathing and time outside was viewed as hazardous to your health. also there where instances where lead was used to seal canned goods for a while.

I could never do an office job, I have to be outdoors, doing something physical. I don't like being cooped up.

I also think this is where some of my points have been mis read. Because I'm really talking about Australia. I don't know what it was like or how people worked in everyone else's countires.

well i kinda think its opposite down hear more in the south, where rascism decreases in later generations. i remember my friend was saying how his grandmother was so rascist. one night at walmart it was like 8:30 she said they need to get home because at 9 the black people came out. i dont know about you but i think thats as funny as rascism gets.

You mean sit back in a throne while you get a slave to do the work? That wouldn't be lazy would it?
 
I've been trolled

Helicopter generation FTW!

Cheers mate, does it have meat in it? I don't want any of that vegetarian rubbish.
 
actually it does! and a bit of corn too, which will account for you daily fiber requirements!
