He forgot the eighth one.. "Not everyone will get a Trophy every time."

That is the single most "Politically Incorrect" piece I have ever read. The liberal left will certainly denounce this author as some sort of right wing lunatic.
Too bad he is spot on!

Good article. However, I think this article should remove the word "millennials" from the title. I've met plenty of people outside of my generation that display these same qualities.

Oh, and if you think millennial are bad (and they definitely are) wait till you meet some of the members of generation Z (a.k.a. post-millennials).

Here's an example: MTV ran a survey to see what this next generation wants to be known as. The answer: "The Founders". That's the level of entitlement we're going to be dealing with in the generation after millennials. They think they're "founders".

As a "millenial", I often express utter contempt for my cohorts when they support someone like Bernie Sanders who engages in economic theft.

Just because you're a loser, doesn't mean I want to be. Just because you can't be wealthy, doesn't mean I'm not trying to become so.

Great article! I agree, this applies to more than millenials.

I am selfish, and I'm not ashamed of it. However,
the thing is, I recognize the right of other people to
be equally selfish. My brother tried to tell me that
health care was a right, and I said, "No, it's not!
Nothing is a right except the right to be left alone."

hey uncommon. provocative as usual. miss that here...:)

They're selfish brats. Somewhere they got the notion that it's OK to be selfish. After all, selfishness is a virtue, right? What they don't understand is that theirs is not the virtuous kind.

In all fairness, I have met many intelligent young people in my work who are idealistic and respectful of others' rights; who are eager to learn and do productive work and not sell their soul for an unfair advantage. I am optimistic for the future.

You can WANT to be anything, but whether you actually get there depends on ability, determination, work ethic, and to some extent (limited) being in the right place at the right time and which people you have gotten to collaborate with.

Reality is inexorable.
If you deny it, it will destroy you.
That's the way it was when I was young. Now, however, if you deny reality, Poppa, Momma, or various government agencies will kiss your boo-boo and make it all better. Now, go back down to your parents basement lick your wounds and smoke a little pot, hack into some private emails, maybe watch a little porn, and you'll feel sooo much better.

I had a good laugh when I saw that cartoon.
Thanks for the article too.

OMG to use verbage of a group I don't belong to. This tells it like it is. We, as a generations have raised a bunch of wimps, there are no Indiana Jones or League of Gentlemen type individuals among this generation. They have been pampered and primped and now they are demanding we give what we promised them when they were little ones coming into this world. We caused it and now we are suffering it. I have no children, so I saw it in others, such as friends and family. Just remember we brought this upon ourselves.

Great article! Thanks!

I agree it should apply to anyone with an entitlement attitude rather than a generation. People used to say this about Gen X too.
On #2, while you can't be anything you want to be, you're free to be something no one has ever dreamed of. Create things that simply weren't before you. You're bound to fall on your face many times, but keep getting up. Maybe that kid with poor motor skills will do research into the causes of heart disease and be a part of treating it without ever cutting. Ask out the quarterback. Try something that everyone thinks is impossible. Kick our butts, Millennials.

Great article!

Excellent article. Thanks for posting.

That goes for most of governments as well...Oh, and probably most of California too!
