    Not in the UK and US. A hipster there is someone born post war who was into the alternative culture in the '60s. A Millenial is someone who reached maturity post 2000, so even someone born in the 90s is one. :)

    FTFY. Most of them are not mature yet.

    M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

      Fat arse, skinny ankles, and a massive beard. Is that the look in every country, because in the UK it is!

      Not to spoil the fun of denigrating and making disparaging comments about another selected group of people, but when it comes to the veracity of your observations and interpretations, you have consistently demonstrated a uncanny ability to be unreliable, non-factual and to lean toward making sweeping generalizations based on a few anecdotal stories.

      History is the joke the living play on the dead.

              That's ankle shaming!

                  See the skinny exposed ankles: Millennial fashion - Google Search[^] I think they only look skinny because of the contrast against the massive fat arse a few feet higher up, all clad in skin tight black jeggings. And the fact they are bare of course.

                      Some would argue that the picture you paint of yourself and which leads others to refer to you as 'fatboy' suggests you should be less critical of others and take care of you own house first. As for trolling, that would only be true if you were telling the truth and I was telling a lie. Moreover, if you are going to be (unfairly) critical of others then why should you expect anything less in return?

                                Why can't the little buggers just have nice, sensible, bright green or red mohawks and wear safety pins like we did in the good old days? The main difference is that our fashion crimes didn't come with a life sentence - unlike those goddawful t(w)attoos and piercings that they all seem to have these days. I am very grateful that such things didn't exist when we dinosaurs ruled the Earth.

                                          You have done nothing but attack members of this group.

                                          If you explain how and show that I have personally attacked you then I will apologize and not make that mistake again. Now then, the context of our current email exchange is as follows. Over the past 8-10 months, you have made quite a few contentious, yet largely unsubstantiated, claims on various topics. When I have challenged you, you cannot support your claims. For example, you have the dubious reputation of being the only CP member to regularly post about global warming to the point where I very recently explained (and cited examples of what you do to illustrate my point) that that your behavior in this matter constitutes trolling and grinding an axe. Subsequently, but not coincidentally, you have begun to claim that I am trolling. Then, to up the ante, you also claim I have done nothing but attack members of this group. As I have regularly said to you, if you are going to claim something then be prepared to support that claim. Here is an excellent opportunity for you. You claim that trolling is "a person who starts a quarrel". You also wrote I have done nothing but attack members of this group. Please review any of my email exchanges and show where I routinely engage in such behavior. Bare in mind your own 'colorful' behavior and history at CP so as to avoid being the 'pot that calls the kettle black'. Finally, you started this thread with the following statement:

                                          There is no other way to interpret this other than you are making a sweeping generalization which necessarily cannot be true, which reflects nothing more than a mean spirited opinion, and which, in my opinion, violates the spirit of the SB. As I suggested earlier in this thread, perhaps you should be less critical of others and take care of you own house first.

                                          History is the joke the living play on the dead.
