Was at the mvd earlier taking care of business, a young adult (maybe 20 yo, had a "man bun" and different color hair) had to come help the lady helping me and tells me...... getting some adulting done today, ha? I looked at him confused and said nope, that's everyday. Mind you I was with my kids.
What's with the attitude of not being a "man" or "woman", acting like being responsible is stupid?

Man, I am only 33 and I don't get it either. The whole "adulting" thing never made sense to me.
Same here, but I’m 36.

Boomers, gen x, etc all of em got weirdos. We just notice it more now cause there’s round the clock information highways everywhere and things of importance just don’t happen that often so the gaps get filled with it. I’ve met very few millennials that actually fit the stereotype.

I must be really old what mvd Same here Lol Lol it's the DMV. Don't ask me why it's called both here. Google NM DMV and they list their offices as MVD lol. Bob that's true unfortunately there's quite a bit here that fit the stereotype. The ones I personally know don't fit the category.

I dont get most people younger than 40-I guess Im of an older and different generation. I actually had to look up the generation names. To me people are people and I dont refer to them by when they were born. X2.

No worse than the "Turn on, tune in and drop out generation." It' s funny when we hear some from the hippie generation complain about things their grand kid's generation is doing.

It started with my generation and the hippys! Course they all moved to Kalifornia, and after a career of getting well to do, have since moved all over the country, spreading their libralese to all of us that don't want it! The diesease that will cause life to expire on this planet!

Here's what a reader had to say in a letter sent to Town and Country magazine. Whither are the manly vigor and athletic appearance of our forefathers flown? Can these be their legitimate heirs? Surely, no; a race of effeminate, self-admiring, emaciated fribbles can never have descended in a direct line from the heroes of Potiers and Agincourt. Published in 1771
"...in a very few days we succeeded in taking over one hundred beaver, the skins of which were worth ten dollars per pound." Jim Beckwourth (1856)

They're a product of a soft society. Even though we've been in wars for 20 years, they're optional and they don't have to participate. Doesn't affect them back home. Goes to the old saying: Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times. We're in the weak men phase. It's gonna get hard again sooner rather than later. I believe that.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
