Perhaps the terrifying bit is that there isn't or will be no next generation this time? That the next generation, such as it is, will in fact be all undesirable immigrant, redgunamo-types? Whither everyone's traditional way of life? Old maids bicycling to communion through the morning mists and a' that

Your old road is rapidly ageing, an all that....
Always listen to Bob... he knew his onions.
Of course I was listening. Why do you think I have half-a-dozen children

I'm drinking a warm beer right now, as it goes. #MajorPerhaps the terrifying bit is that there isn't or will be no next generation this time?

Anyway, redgunamo types aren't undesirable.
You're too kind, A. Too kind.
I only get ice cold beer nowadays

No. It's different because it's arse about face. The older generation is supposed to be the po-faced, narrow-minded, illiberal one. That's not the case anymore. Our younger generation seem to want less freedom, not more.
As P suggests, all any younger generation seems to want is the freedom to escape the pernicious influence of their parents. Nobody ever said anything about parents yearning to escape the pernicious influence of their children

Right, but that is based on your definition of the horribly *******ised word 'freedom'. The younger generation, on campuses, want freedom from oppression, and from oppressive views. THey think we can only be free when we all agre that certain things (gays, women, gender, ethnicity, rape etc) have absolute truths and can only be discussed within those absolutes. THe freedom to be who you are (as long as it isnt a straight, white, english male). They are willing to accept a curtailment of your generation's old fashioned view of freedom of speech/thought/expression in order to create this 'free from judgement' utopia.
They are not campaigning to be less free. Its a new birth of freedom.
Its just the sort of bull**** people come out with when they are young. I used to make up all sorts of ****e about what I wanted when really it was just beer, fags, speed and acid.
Yes, but in those days we had adults who were prepared to tell us to shut up because we were clueless little cvnts. These days, the idiots are pandered to and encouraged in these ridicules notions by adults in positions of authority who really ought to know better.
