    Pretty sure if I went to http:/www.whichrickboxregister.org, I could skip all that and he would have already allocated my box to me. :D

    There is no system or department on the planet that is as efficient as that (unless German).
    And emulating that Teutonic race would be abhorrent to RC.

    Would that put him in the xenophobic box or at least one of its sub directories?

    Yeah you guys are all so unique. Uncatagorisable.

    Your posts are all so unique they never conform to any generalisations.

    This is already a self-selected sub category, people who ride bikes and have feck all else to do on a Sunday. Nothing to do with age or generation, as you are here also.

    This whole boomer, millenials, generation X thing completely passes me by. I just don't think in these kind of terms about different generations or even in generational terms.

    We're all individuals.








    (I'm not)

    How noble.

    (Also, how unhelpful)

    If you’re not into spotting patterns, that’s fine, don’t criticise others for doing so.
    Spotting trends or patterns is quite different to this whole generation thing. Part of the problem is that you are arguing with Gen X which is just a filler between boomers and Millennials so we really don’t identify.

    On the off chance that you agree that millennials were self-entitled do you think half a decade in the workplace has helped them face up to reality and calmed them down?
    I am glad you are spotting patterns too.

    No, it's unhelpful putting people into boxes, particularly to fit a predefined narrative. You seem to have a massive chip on your shoulder about older people and seem to blame them for all your ills.

    This ^.

    What I don't understand is the obsession with the past when there is current and recent Genocide (Burkina faso just very recently? Burma, Sri Lanka, Syria, Bosnia - perhaps the Uyghurs in China etc etc.).
    There is the mass destruction of habitat - the Amazon, parts of Indonesia, Borneo and the mass destruction of habitat through climate change - forest fires, melting of the ice caps, diminishing glaciers, grass lands turned into Savannah's and Savannah's turned into desert created directly and indirectly by humans. Micro plastics are threatening whole ecosystems. Many species are on the brink of extinction. We have major global inequality and yet the sins of our forefathers outweigh all of this?! As if we are somehow superior to them - morally and socially?
    Wake up, smell the coffee Rick.

    Anyway, sorry gentlemen, as you were. I'll try not to ruin this thread.
    You need to edit that down so you can fit it on a sandwich board 😛

    I have to say, given how easily I am wound up, you ought to not bite so hard yourself.

    Anyway, here’s a joke to get it back on trend

    What's the difference between a baby boomer and an avocado?

    One is a soft, wrinkly vegetable

    The other one is an avocado

    Clearly, as an avocado is a fruit.

    I have to say I'm getting a bit tired of Millennials' attitude. Walking around acting like they rent the place.
