If only Millennials had the moral compass of our last 3 presidents...you know...the adulterer, the coke head, and the gang banger.

A conservative bitching about a younger generation? A writer for the Washington Times referencing Ronald Reagan eleventy billion times as if he's some kind of supreme deity?

Color me shocked.

You will when you have to start paying a ton in taxes and realize you are supporting these fricking losers.

I know Matt. I'm on the edge of my seat wondering how James Dobson and Jimmy Swaggart feel about this generation too.

So only 4% more. So 4 out of 100 more people live with their parents. Seems pretty reasonable considering the rise in cost of living

This author is a bit sensational for my millennial tastes.

He is inferring that all of these general "facts" have correlations with apocalyptic doom.

Maybe some of the things he mentioned will be a good thing for our future society? Time will tell. (And I still won't be married.)

I really dont see how this is relevant.

I have a job. I consume goods and services. I didn't realize I was failing the country by not being married and living with my mother.

these two statements don't necessary correlate. lots of people just don't get married these days. it doesn't mean the dads are absentees.

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.

these two statements are so laughably not tied together i don't even know how to respond. whoever wrote this needs to get back to some basic logic lessons. he's all over the place.

Although i question your ability to look at this objectively, what makes you say that?

For thousands of years the bedrock foundation of civilization has been the family. Stable families lead to a stable society. Take away the family structure and society starts to crumble. Don't believe me? Go drive around the inner part of just about every major American city and you'll see what a culture looks like that's gone about 40-50 years with the traditional family structure mostly removed.

In my estimation, the idea of going to Church, is more about having some type of grounding/rootedness, and a sense of the transcendent instead of the moral relativism seen now in society where "I" become the center of morality.

I'm not looking to taunt the militant atheists who post here, or the Church critics. But I've read this theme over and over, and it's not much about the idea the Church critics have about churches hurting financially.

If the article is about mentalities, then this eschewing of the transcendent, and not having God as basis for morality for a larger percentage of the population, it fits in the discussion.

I see hipsters and gangsters. Not sure which I would rather cross paths with.

Did some millennial burn down the shrubs at Thompson in Tarrant? Drove by there a bit ago and the fire dept was trying to put the landscaping out. It was wrecked.
