re: Steve Deace: Coming millennial bubble could spell trouble

This is silly. Strong family units aside, the criteria used to judge an entire generation I'll-equipped is stupid. Millenniuls are still young and graduating into a horrible economy. The unemployment rate makes it almost a necessity to live at home with parents longer especially when you take student loans into account. In fact, living home with parents longer may actually be the fiscally responsible thing to do.
And many people drift away from the church in their teens and 20s then return when they have a family. This is not new.

Although i question your ability to look at this objectively, what makes you say that?
1. Total self absorption
2. Belief that your generation is smarter already than all the ones that came before.
3. High level of animosity for all generations that came before.
4. Resistance to "growing up" (getting married and having kids)
5. Inability to take responsibility for your own faults. Everything is someone else's fault.
6. Complete lack of respect for the traditional institutions of society.
Those are the main one's I can think of off the top of my head.

Seems legit.

Not legit. And seems to be the norm based on the ones I see.
Now make me a cupcake and stay off the lawn.

Millennial checking in: married with a child, 29 years old (both me and my wife, sorry no pics), go to church every Sunday, don't live with my parents, combined income north of 150k per year. I know a lot of people like me. The country is not screwed. The articles need to stop. It's bs.

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.
Not sure. I'm not in Birmingham today. I would not doubt it though.

I don't give a rusty frick what a dickbag political talk radio host thinks about anything. Uptight old man is upset that the world is changing. Get used to it.

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.
Millennials....

Actually I do. And while Gen X is far from perfect, we are not known for those traits.

I go to one of the churches on campus for a free lunch every week and am thankful, isn't that enough? I don't need to sit through an hour every sunday morning listening to a bunch of old men tell me how I should run my life when the older generations are the ones who fricked everything up for us.

You're not displaying much self-awareness here.

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.

People have been saying the world is changing for the worse since the dawn of man. On the whole, people are living longer, they're healthier, there's more democracy, there's more freedom, people are wealthier -- America is a shitload better off in 2015 than 1915. Would you want to go back and live 100 or 200 years ago? I wouldn't. My soft arse likes having a desk job, air conditioning, smart phones and automatic transmissions.
