I think they're well informed and appreciate beauty. What do you think?

Hope nobody minds the generalizing BTW!

Friendly jokes be welcome. Consider adding /s as some people have difficulty with sarcasm.

People have been complaining about kids these days ever since the invention of kids.

Just look at the Christian creation myth. One of Adam and Eve's kids straight up murdered one of his siblings and then lied about it. Back in Adam and Eve's day they never did anything like that. Heck, look at God. He put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, stocked it with everything they could ever possibly need or want, and gave them one rule. ONE RULE. And if they followed it they could stay there forever. Then He turns His back for FIVE MINUTES and what does He find them doing?

Children. Goblins, the lot of them. They've been successively lowering the bar below where their parents imagined it was in their day with every passing generation, and honestly I'm proud of us for it.
