FTFY. Viewed through certain, common viewpoints (not mine, fwiw) joining the armed forces is the most patriotic and bestest thing you can do. It is also one of the few ways out of poverty for a large amount of people. Not that it should be, but it is. This isn't going to stop trans people signing up - they will need to hide their identity, which isn't good for anybody, and will lead to problems for them, their mental health, and their service further down the line.

I joined up to serve my country and better myself and they kicked me out because they are a bunch of crybabies regarding personal identity

It's more that you sign up and do your job, which could involve dying for rando shitheads who deny your right to exist, and now your life is ruined because one guy is a loving bigot but your boss, which is kind of a kick in the pants.

No-one who remembers the 80s can be called a Millenial. Edit: and the transgender thing is bloody stupid. If they can do the job, let them. InitialDave fucked around with this message at 09:47 on Jul 27, 2017 |

Army, factory work or coal mining. The mining paid well, but it was more to provide a good life for their family as it always killed them eventually. e: InitialDave posted:No-one who remembers the 80s can be called a Millennial.

My hot take - If you dont like Transgender in the military then go gently caress yourself with a barbed wire dildo because you are a bigoted piece of poo poo. Sinestro posted:This is one of the few things Trump's done I'm not finding the ability to get angry about. I'm cool with not being able to be drafted to die in our next pointless quagmire in the Middle East or elsewhere. You should because it's called the slippery slope and the cunts who wage these culture wars WILL go further and deny more rights if they are allowed to get away with this one. And Millenial is just simply a tag for "Someone younger that Boomers have / are loving over but Boomers will whinge that they are lazy and entitled while at the same time Boomers got where they are with the entitlements they are ripping away from young people".

in my experience the millennials who claim they arent really millennial are typically the older, super conservative ones who have terrible opinions on basically any social stance you could have "heh yeah even though I'M a millennial i'm still a snowflake because i dont identify with them  ""THERE ARE ONLY TWO GENDERS, YOU CAN ONLY IDENTIFY WITH THE PARTS YOU WERE BORN WITH"

The parts I was born with or the parts that were removed after birth?  I'm a millennial, the spouse kinda is. Whatever. Just one more thing the boomers hate me for I guess. I don't give two shits anyway.

I remember looking up the definition (by date) of Millennials to find out that I am apparently one. I don't really identify with them though. I am the caboose of five kids so I followed a lot of my siblings in what they do. When you talk to a Millennial and they don't understand why Dumb & Dumber is literal art and Tommy Boy is peak culture then I just don't even know what to think. I guess I am also a broken millennial because when I hear them bitch and moan about jobs and school debt I want to give them a talking to about bootstraps.

tbh classifying generational divides speaks more about the times ppl came of age in rather than the ppl themselves. most of us are millenials because we grew up in millenial times and not gen x times and its not any more complicated than that

I was born in 82, wife was born in 86... we're both millenials but every so often we run into things where we generation gap each other.

The only good thing about clearly defining a year that GenX ended and Millenials started is that I was born in 1979 which falls in the gap between so suck it everyone else.

People are different than me and that's cool. People also do things differently and that's also cool. It's unfortunate in my mind that people with different views on both ends of the spectrum are so villified against eachother. Whether you're extreme left or extreme right or anywhere in between, it's a loss in my mind when you don't uplift community and instead segment. I feel like people on both sides of the spectrum are way too concerned about carving out a spot from soceity for their individuality, to the detriment of society itself. Since society is made up of all of us individuals, that's just cutting off your nose to spite your face. Be Chill To One Another.

Yep that post was more an "I'm team community" than a "We should solve the world", since telling everyone how to think would also be an extremist point of view. Anything's possible so everything's in play. I just broadcast consistently that I'm in favor of building community so I can find others like me.

a major component of our political divide is a strenuous disagreement over who should or should not be permitted to be a full participant in the community in other words, an unqualified "be excellent to each other" is basically left-wing communist talk, according to the hard right.

And on the left you have radical requirements of the right to completely change their behaviors immediately to the left's views, with calls to fascism and racism if they don't fall in line. I personally mostly agree with the left's rhetoric but their delivery is divisive. e: I should definitely point out that I was doing it too before this election, but a significant portion of the population thinks differently than I do and I know they aren't all racist bigoted morons so I have since been making a genuine effort to understand.
