My problem, I suppose, is that this very thread by its existence is a reflection of that thought process.
People NEVER need to be branded by age, race, education, ethnic history or religion.
People are people...period. Are we different in many ways...yep and that is what makes this country so great and the world so exciting.
I find constantly harping on any of those differences to be sadly very telling.
A good honest person is a good honest person...no matter his/her race religion, age, etc. I find labeling in anyway to be treating others differently.
Anyone who posts or reads these threads is aware of the reality of the situation.

I don't know anyone like that personally, was my statement. I don't disagree that there may be some, but I tend to believe it is a very small number. To continue to harp on that small number creates an illusion that it is a bigger problem than it really is.
If you've ever made a point to work with a difficult person (call it "killing them with kindness" and not relenting) you will find that most people's issues are not what you thought they were. Once they are broken of their negativity, it is the most satisfying thing one can experience. I see a lot of sick people in my chosen career. Sick in many ways - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. The most rewarding moments of my job have been working with people whom others have deemed too difficult to bother, and then watching these kinds of breakthroughs happen and being able to see the real person underneath shine through.
That's why I prefer not to generalize where people are concerned, be it generationally or in any other manner. By doing so, you will often miss a blessing. If you notice in my original post on here, I mentioned using generalizations regarding eras in which we were born, but then went on to speak about the uniqueness of individuals no matter the generation.
