I'm 70 years old, a screaming left wing Democrat, but you respect me, how sweet.

This is not trying to start anything, an honest question, this being a, rumor has it, anyway, theological website. Do you not have a problem with the Democrat of the 21st century? Or, perhaps more to the point, do you subscribe to the Bible being the word of God? If so, how do you reconcile this with a shortlist of things like homosexual marriage? (If you're an unbeliever, never mind. We can leave it at that, no reason to expect you to subscribe to anything you don't believe in, and this your business, then.)

Really...who understands the nuances of different generations?

When I was in school "coke was still cola and a joint was a bad place to go."

Not anymore.

What is most irritating is that you can't read Dickens anymore, without the thought he's saying everybody at the garden party was a queer, or everybody in Bedrock having a "gay old time" resulting in suspicions as to why Fred and Barney are such good buddies.

Gotta love the "These dang kids today....won't stay off my lawn" threads. You know, I hear baby boomers couldn't even fashion an ax from flint, a stick, and some deer skin. Losers. :chuckle:

FACT CHECK: Find your closest Millennial neighbor and ask them to carry out anything on this list. If you can find any Millennial who can do any of these things, you may have accidentally stumbled across an Eagle Scout troop meeting. For the rest of today’s youth, they’re clueless!

Read this and weep for humanity’s future…

40 shockingly simple skills that today’s pathetic Millennials have no idea how to do

#1) Plant a seed in dirt and grow an edible plant.

#2) Change a bicycle tire.

#3) Sharpen a pencil.

#4) Identify the name of any tree or bird in the real world.

#5) Check the oil level in any engine.

#6) Name a single star in the night sky.

#7) Change a blown fuse in anything (or even reset a circuit breaker).

#8) Drive a stick shift. (Many don’t even know what “stick shift” means.)

#9) Navigate using a printed map without using GPS.

#10) Strike a punching bag without injuring their frail, fragile wrists.

#11) Repair a broken garden hose without throwing it away and buying a new hose.

#12) Stop bleeding with a tourniquet.

#13) Cut a piece of wood in a straight line using a hand saw.

#14) Carry a 50 lb. bag of animal feed on their shoulder for 50 meters.

#15) Cook a real meal that isn’t “instant” or microwaveable.

#16) Start a camp fire, even with a lighter.

#17) Sharpen a knife, even using a knife sharpener.

#18) Build a shelter in the forest by using only forest materials.

#19) Use a car jack without ripping the bumper off the vehicle.

#20) Chop wood for a wood stove.

#21) Locate and reset the ground fault tolerant button on an electrical outlet to restore power to the outlets.

#22) Dry clothes on a clothesline.

#23) Strip a copper wire.

#24) Securely tie a rope to anything at all.

#25) Calculate a 15% waiter tip in their heads.

#26) Make a broken bone splint out of anything at all.

And for advanced skills, Millennials have absolutely no idea how to do any of the following:

#27) Catch a fish.

#28) Clean a pistol.

#29) Swap out the hydraulic hose on a piece of farm equipment.

#30) Intelligently read any food label.

#31) Purify water using a plastic bottle and sunlight.

#32) Make a water filter out of charcoal and sand.

#33) Fold a paper airplane.

#34) Make an emergency funnel out of aluminum foil.

#35) Chop down a dead tree with an axe.

#36) Read a compass.

#37) Cut a stuck seatbelt to escape a burning vehicle.

#38) Paddle a canoe in any intended direction at all.

#39) Open any can of food without using electricity.

#40) Siphon fuel from the gas tank of an abandoned car.

Now ask yourself this question, and answer honestly. Given that most Millennials know absolutely nothing about the real world — and have no real-world skills to speak of — how can they possibly survive the next great collapse?

The only time they’re ever venturing out into the real world is when they’re playing Pokemon Go (and walking off cliffs or stumbling into traffic as a result). Go figure…

That means you found it interesting, notable, right? I'm too old to have much use for any of that sort of new stuff in my community, don't text, either, but I know what it is, looked it up once. I thought the article off the beaten path, hence posted it.

This is a true story. You guys know what a cabbage looks like, right? It's big, round, wavy and pale green. There's nothing else like it in the produce section I can think of. It's not like green leaf versus Romaine lettuce, and that pretty distinct.

I'm at a supermarket, checking out, and had a cabbage. It was in one of those clear, see-through bags. The young checkout lady, surely twenty-ish, stopped at the cabbage, staring at it, then started flipping through the produce picture book. She finally asked me, "Is that a green cabbage?" I resisted the temptation to tell her, "No, it's a Fukushima Brussels sprout," which would have surely led to even more flipping through the book, ultimately her paging a customer service person, and would have been a mean trick.

I can only figure that the only young folks working at that store, who know cole slaw doesn't come from a cole slaw tree, are the deli workers.
