[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 732515, member: 1550"] Yes and no. There were always bums. In the 20s to 60s white people were bigoted as hell during Jim Crow and before women could vote or when women were not allowed to have many jobs. Some men would beat their wives with no consequences. Children were beaten with impuntity at home and school. I don't know that things were better even for white christians. Remember the Depression? Suicide was rampant. 25 percent of the population did not work. You know what ended the Depression? WWII. Men had to go fight so finally there were jobs. I don't know how responsible all people were back then.There was no television or internet to let us know what was happening in another place. Now there is. I can't speak about all millennials,but they mostly work and thrive. It is easier to do it if you don't live where the cost of living is off the charts, like in NY and LA. If you live in a place like that, you can move. I think parents today are partly responsible for certain lazy adults. The handkerchief generation didn't feel sorry for depressed kids, buy them cars, pay their rent, do their laundry at age 25, pay for their toys etc. Now....many do. That encourages adults to act like children. To me, it's all relative. [/QUOTE]
