Steve Deace: Coming millennial bubble could spell trouble

Unfortunately, the next generation is woefully ill-equipped to inherit the legacy of American exceptionalism, let alone repair it after the damage done before them by the baby boom generation’s fiscal irresponsibility and moral relativism. Millennials appear to be detached from every foundation necessary for self government: personal responsibility, morality and strong families.

For example, according to author and columnist Janice Shaw Crouse, a whopping 70 percent of American males between the ages of 20-34 are single and living in a state of “perpetual adolescence.” These are obviously prime reproductive years and most young men appear to be sitting them out, or at the very least they’re inseminating and then splitting as evidenced by an out-of-wedlock birth rate that has soared to 41 percent of all childbirths, according to the CDC. Furthermore, U.S. census data points out that almost one-third of millennials are still living at home with either mom and/or dad.

Yet as if this profile wasn’t already pessimistic enough, we haven’t even come to the most troubling part. Our millennials are so spiritually and morally lost that even if they wanted to correct their shortcomings, their generation lacks the wherewithal to do so. According to a leading religious trend researcher named George Barna, only two in 10 Millennials believes going to church is important and almost 60 percent of millennials who grew up going to church have dropped out. More than half of millennials haven’t been to church at all for any reason in at least six months.

Keep your churches. God, or gods, are wherever you find them.

So he acknowledges that baby boomers have ruined everything they've gotten their hands on, but millennials will be the ones who frick it up worse?

So...not going to church is bad...gotcha

Eh. I can't stand the younger generation for the most part. But, it's that perpetual adolescence (in both men and women) and living with mom and dad (lack of personal responsibility) that annoys me. I don't care if they go to church. Just don't be a leach until your 30s.

i'm so tired of hearing how awful our generation is.
Posted on 3/16/15 at 3:52 pm to GreatLakesTiger24
I'm 26 and this write up is pretty spot on. We're fricked.

I'm sorry, but there's a big difference between a 20 year old and a 34 year old. The fact that they cast this wide of a net is fricking ridiculous, as if most 20 year olds are expected to be married at that point.

Every older generation in the past has said the younger generation was ill equipped. This is nothing new.
Posted on 3/16/15 at 3:58 pm to GreatLakesTiger24
That statistic being in an article instantly discredits for me. Oh a bunch of people between 20 and 26 are included in that statistic which cause it to look skewed towards the author's favor. Marriage has been beyond fricked up for decades. We don't need more young people getting married before they know how to take care of themselves. Like they need a wife and kids.

Why is it that anytime people get close to 45 they start bashing the younger generation? I heard the same exact crap from my friends parents, and they heard it from the middle aged before them. You grow up and figure things out. I teach (science before you grammar nazi's go nuts), and there's just as many dumb arse kids from when were in school. There's also a solid number of kick arse kids that bust their arse'.

"Our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers." - Socrates
Nothing new to see here.
Btw, going to church is not important. Especially if you have decent social connections to rely on. That's just what people who make money from church want you to feel.

Boomers blow the future of their posterity by being selfish, then criticize Millenials for their apathy and unwillingness to take personal responsibility for a problem they didn't cause. Makes sense.
quote:
personal responsibility
If the boomers were so personally responsible, how come they created most of the policies that absolve our current generation from it?
quote:
morality
Right, because the boomers where just moral rocks.
quote:
strong families.
This is just stupid. Boomers promoted and invented the concept that work never ends for salraied people, ignored their families for the sake of the almighty dollar, then criticize Millenials because they wont do the same? But we're the ones that dont value strong families?
This entire debate is tired.

I am 31. This tells me it is easier for me to succeed due to less competition from my peer group. I do not fit into the description of the POS millennials included here. I personally cannot stand the entitlement and lack of personal accountability I personally see in those 18-30 years old.

Didn't we just have a bash millennials thread?
Paging Darth and Spiff. They love mellennial bashing.
