Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 286 Posted January 21 Wow, who would've thunk it. Millennials may actually be good for something! I guess I never tried training them with treats before, I'll have to give that a try! 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 12,843 Posted January 21 Well, youths have been complained about, disparaged, fretted over and disdained for millennia so “Millennials” have the right name... I don’t recall what we were called as a teen but I do recall the complaints, the sideways glances and the general disdain my presence elicited from some people...I turned out all right... 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 4,485 Posted January 21 It is not a new thing. In the times of the Roman Empire, Pliny the Elder complained about the younger generation. i bet the Bible does not mention the carryingS one of Cain and Abel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 362 Posted January 21 I ski, hike, shoot, and lots of other things with my millennial grandkids. Of our 12 grandkids, 7 are ages 20 to 26. That's a passel of great millennials! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 286 Posted January 21 (edited) As with any group, the entire group is identified by the worst example. I know some Millennials that are fine human beings and I am proud to know... but on the larger view, are the good ones the exception or the rule? Maybe I am just getting a little too cynical, but I am finding the "good ones" of any group are more of the exception than the rule. Except for the group here! The Wire, and SASS in general, has way too high portion of "good ones" compared to other places and groups.

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 12,843 Posted January 21 Spending 5 years in the Portland OR area totally skewed my impressions of Millennials. In Portland you encounter the worst of the Millennial Generation. There’s a joke I heard often in Oregon: “Where do Millennials go to retire?” The answer “Portland”. Being here in SoCal this past year has changed my perspective on Millennials quite a bit. For the better. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MizPete 710 Posted January 21 Grandsons #1 and #2 are Eagle Scouts and during their Christmas holiday (UNC-Ashville and Berklee College of Music) built their other Granny an extension to her deck. Fine young men. And yes, they can be bribed with food. 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
