our generation can be considered screwed up, what would become of us in the future?

I don't think it as bad as everyone makes out you are just more aware of it plus media makes things to be more severe then they are.\nI grew up in the cold war in the Silicon Valley I saw a guy get beat to death on the street when I was 8 those same dangerous neighbourhoods are now strip malls with a Starbucks.\nIf you believe everything you read you will all die of bird flu next week right after a major terrorist dirty bomb attack and the survivors will be wiped out by a comet.\nThese doom saying Bible bashers have been claiming it is a sing of the end for the last 1000 years. But I say we are living in the safest time in history there are fewer wars going on then ever disease is fairly controlled the cold war it over so Mutually assured destruction is not a daily worry. Let face it when is the last time you heard of a rampaging horde wreaking havoc and ridding through towns burning houses and running off with the women.\nI think we are all too soft and should complain less and work toward making a better future.\nI have been in a war zone and they don't really whine as much as us the privileged to live in a country where wealth is abundant, always seem to be worried about how bad things are.\nDrug use isn't any higher, it's just less acceptable and more publicised.\nIn the 60's experimenting with drugs was ok in the 70's it was over looked in the 80's it was kinda hip I think Morals have taken a turn back people are more concerned then ever.\nCasual sex of the 70-80's is not cool now and free love of the 60's is considered almost evil.\nWe are a more morally aware generation.\nWe worry about the environment now and are doing things to change it for the better no generation before cared at all.\nStart looking at the positives and build on them.

I don't think we're irresponsible at all.  The generation before us discovered that they could buy up all the property and make us pay rent.  Then they created all kinds of worthless jobs.  The future generations are so exploited so that former generations can feel comfortable.  It's an epidemic.  And none of us wants to contribute to that kind of economy.  Fear the revolution.  It's got to come.

Nope.  As humans are inherently imperfect, our governments and economic systems will be also!

In the 1950's (in the UK) people were told work hard and save, come the 21st century you'll have better lifestyles. Work less hours, retire early and have loads of spare time to enjoy life and be living in a Sci-Fi type future. People had great expectations.\nWell all that seems have gone pear shaped, as people are working longer hours, expected to retire later and now have very little time to enjoy their lives. \n21st century? More like the 1940's. And I can't see the future getting any better.\nSorry to be a sourpuss.

People would rather group all of us together and assume that all young adults cause trouble instead of trying to judge us equally. Many also assume this because they judge us inexperienced and irresponsible. There is the problem that some young people are irresponsible and reckless too. Elder adults are not willing to take the time to differentiate between those who are responsible and those who can not be trusted.Our generation must learn from this error in judgment and attempt not to repeat it.

Okay, so they're college professors who are teaching the future leaders. I don't think that you can really find any generation without things to complain about. It may shock you to know that not all of us gen x or y or whatever category I fall into are what you see on MTV, fully obsessed with the bling-bling "real world" jessica&nick fantasy life of hollywood. We're not all grungy potheads with no ambition in life either. Some of us made it out of the mess and have a concern for the well being of the rest of the world and CAN see outside of our own front yard to how our actions affect the rest of the world. What scares me about the future is the corporations who don't give a damn about anything but profit and exist to worship and glorify the almighty dollar at the expense of variety of life itself. And the sad part goes back to your original statement. People in my generation don't give a damn. About much of anything. So the corporations take over and tell us what to wear, listen to, watch, eat, drink and do or risk being yesterday's news and people buy into that crap. That is what scares me. Apathy.

Absolutely. \n\nIt's where our future lies, whether we render this planet inhospitible by ourselves or through some natural disaster, that's where we'll have to go.

We will probably go into a depression.

No one possesses the wisdom to know what is best in the long run.  We might succeed in making our lives more comfortable but cause unbearable suffering to some future generation.  Or we might change the forces that caused us to be born at all.  In which case we would not be born to make the change and cause a paradox.  \nWhich might be cool.

Don't we eventually go backwards, when we are babies we completely rely on everyone else to take care of us and then as we get old we need people to completely take care of us all over again so yeah we kind of go backwards.\nThis did not answer question but since when do I care about that right?

Well, seeing as I AM one of those "children", I totally see this from your point of view.  It's ridiculus what they're doing over there, and then my generation (and a few to follow) are going to have to clean up after it...it SUCKS.  Thanks for sticking up for us!

id run back in a heartbeat. people these days dont care about anyone but theirselves. the most important part of society is failing fast,the family. forget about how much harder it is to live now. its the morals and mindset of people that's scary.

I think 2001, because of 9-11, will go down in history as our worst because we lost our naivete`. We got a one day crash course in the frailty of human life,a rude awakening to just how much most of the world loathes us, and a new vocabulary of terrorist-speak.

i think it's a ways off, after we get to a point of superior technology among more countries and we first reach a point of peace, which then is breached will we be at a point of true chaos.  But here at home in the U.S due to our inbred prejudice and diverse background, we have already started our fight.

It means that it is a selfish generation.
