Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 3378249, member: 1522"] I like people. Some of my favorite people and those which I choose to spend my time with are in their 70's, same goes for my friends in their early 30's late 20's. I've yet to find a race or age group I don't like but there are certainly some people and mindsets I don't like. I don't like people who judge people based on their race or age, or judge people on being different whether it's the way they act or look. You say the attitude towards the elderly was significantly better in the 60's than it is today. I'm not sure that's true but I do know certain groups of people were treated like dirt back then that's why we had movements like the Civil Rights Movement and the Chicano Movement. As for the Ok Boomer thing it's mostly a humorous thing in response/backlash to the seemingly neverending blame some boomers put on Millennials for all the ills of current society. Some Millennials see the Boomer generation as the ones who lived on the high hog leaving the younger generation in a hole where they can't enjoy the same sort of life the boomers had. They may be arguing about different things but the divide between the older generation and the younger generation has always been there. It was certainly there in the 60's where the the younger generation didn't like the country the older generation created and the younger generation was going to break those rules and norms at all costs. I don't understand you saying I should reflect on my feelings about players expressing their emotions on the court? As for celebrating and or getting into a competitors face that's been going on my whole life and I feel comfortable saying that's always been a part of sports. If it's not allowed and hurts your team the player should find another release but it certainly isn't anything new or something the younger generation does now more than ever, there was certainly a lot more of it when I was growing up. It didn't bother me then, doesn't bother me now, and won't bother me in the future. Sports are supposed to be emotional IMO, I want to see every emotion the good, the bad, and the ugly. It seems a lot of that has been legislated out of the game and I think sports have suffered for it. [/QUOTE]
