But the divide among Irish faithful takes on the same proportions as the divide in this nation between all generational issues. As Boomers start to die out, the Millennials will have them in a conference faster than you can say scat. As with all of our traditions the Millennials will take the path of least resistance to culture because they don't know our history or our traditions. They are children of the backassward culture of the tube and they haven't a clue as to who they are, let alone their rights and obligations. And they don't give a hoot, or a thought, to the sacrifices of those who went before them, or the integrity that went into them. They have been bred and educated to be corporate slaves.
Wow, tell us how you really feel lol
I presume you mean that as a total generalization based on cultural and media hype that is not intended to mean each and every individual within the Millennial generation. Also, because it seems to be misunderstood by many (not saying you, JR), the Millennial generation is roughly birth years 1981 to 1996. A lot of people think the Millennial generation includes kids in college today - it would only really might include seniors - and younger.
That being said, regarding Notre Dame, the Millennials who truly care about Notre Dame are probably more vested into independence than most would believe.
I know who the millennials are and why they were called that. I saw their work while they were in school, and experienced their general approach to work when they were starting their families. I'm not impressed with the product at all, particularly their lack of analytical skills, and their inability to accept and benefit from constructive criticism in the work place and their eagerness to blame everyone else for their failures. And I sure as hell wouldn't want to go into combat with them. And no that is not inclusive of all millennials but it is true of the group as a whole. I have known and worked with a few stellar millennials, but then they know what I am saying is true as well because they have suffered by being atypical in the midst of a group think generation.
