[QUOTE="kfpben, post: 7357350, member: 44296"] There have been a lot of comments on ‘the young generation’ being a combination of feckless, wasteful, scroungers, druggies, pissheads, living on credit etc etc. All a bit sad if I’m honest. In any case- surely it’s not the kids fault what the parents may be like? Firstly, alcohol consumption among the young has been consistently declining for the last 15 years. Secondly what people spend with their own earned money is what keeps the economy going and is to be largely welcomed. Squirrelling large sums away in cash savings doesn’t actually benefit the economy at large. We should be please at people buying new cars, phones and TVs as long as they can afford them. Thirdly, people have always had a tendency to go off the rails- in my own family I have had two drug addicts (one died from it), a depressive alcoholic, and someone who had a mental health breakdown, ran off to South America to get a sex change on the cheap leaving his wife and three children in the process. Only one of these people was under 30. Self destructive behaviours are nothing new, in fact they are probably as old as human nature itself. [/QUOTE]
