The younger generation. - Site Owners Forums

A few of the chaps down my local were having a chat the other night, you know how it is, putting the world to rights etc.

One of the contributors was complaining about today's younger generation in the West not having any fire in their bellies the way we did in our younger days.

I asked him what he meant by that statement. He said well think back to the sixties and seventies and even the fifties. There were protests almost every weekend about one thing or the other. There was CND with Ban the Bomb, Greenham Common, Workers Rights, world poverty, you name it and the young were protesting about it.

This drew more people into the conversation wth many agreeing. A few remarked that although probably an over generalisation today's young people appeared to be more insular and self-obssessed, more concerned with getting material things like the latest iPhone, clothes, other gadgets etc. rather than having a social concience. Many would prefer to play the latest computer game than take to the streets in an effort to change anything.

What do others think - did this group have a point?
