Not that it's good, but people grow out of this shit after university - Reagen Nov 14, 08:05 16
- My take on this was shock that they would apologize for doing their job. If you are at a public protest, you may get your picture published. - zunkskunk Nov 14, 08:24
- There still should have been an adult in the room to tell them that apology was ridiculous. -- nm - Ender Nov 14, 08:13 2
  - Agreed. I just don't think it signals anything larger about society. -- nm - Reagen Nov 14, 08:17 1
    - *ding* -- nm - mud Nov 14, 08:36
- Your over justification of this kind of stuff is getting more and more extreme, IMO (respectfully) -- nm - JackDawson Nov 14, 08:10 3
  - I'd conversely say the same for you and feel I've been consistent in my messaging. - Reagen Nov 14, 08:13 2
    - How so, though? Every example that comes up is more and more extreme and you defend it. I'm not reaching to defend more extreme positions - JackDawson Nov 14, 08:19 1
      - 1) I've defended nothing. These guys are being stupid and ridiculous. (edit because letting autocorrected to lying, which is... yikes) -- (edited) - Reagen Nov 14, 08:27
- Sure, but it’s also of a piece with the broader generational archetype JackDawson laments below. -- nm* - znufrii, human scum Nov 14, 08:07 7
  - I'm saying this repeats for every group of 18-25 year olds just like puberty repeats for every group of 13-18 year olds - Reagen Nov 14, 08:09 6
    - We were ridiculous about so many things but not that in college, you can't really make this argument to sweep it under the rug - JackDawson Nov 14, 08:13 5
      - Yes, and I'm saying that I remember similar sounding things during my period of university in the late 90s. - Reagen Nov 14, 08:15 4
        
        The elevation of individuality based on entirely subjective and often self-serving feelings already made sensitive by over-bearing parents is unique - JackDawson Nov 14, 08:20 3
        
        They are self centered, self important idiots. That is the condition of being in their early 20s. -- nm - Reagen Nov 14, 08:31 2
        
        Yes, but what are they being self centered self, important idiots about? - znufrii, human scum Nov 14, 09:00 1
        
        I don't see it as making a difference. -- nm - Reagen Nov 14, 09:02

We have created an entire generation of snowflakes. I blame the parents 100%, to be clear. But the effect is the same: we are woeful and cannot be t - JackDawson Nov 14, 07:52
