LOL
I'm not even old enough to be a grandfather yet.
That's not what people like you are saying as they eyeball Trump and Cruz.
Polls show the overwhelming majority of Americans disagree with you.
People can be straight, refuse to do drugs, believe in God, and recognize that "scientific consensus" has a history of failure and it will all be okee dokee m'kay

You ARE the layperson.

What do other "contexts" have to do with it? To belabor the obvious, in the field of aviation, especially on a website named "Airline Pilot Central", you are indeed the layperson you speak of.

Easy gramps. The sky isn't falling. What's funny about some older folk is they believe that somehow every generation before them didn't think the same exact thing. You aren't special. America is fine. The world turns. People can be gay, do drugs, not believe in some version of God, and try and combat global warming and it will be okee dokee m'kay

You seem to have a fetish about Fox news and why you brought that non-related item up in a response is very odd but also very telling to me. Do you really think I pay attention to Fox news or any other news source as non-biased? Flash! No news source is non-biased. Why don't you tell us what just the right news source is so we can all be as enlightened as you are.

Soooo why can I get lectured to but not lecture back?
I don't watch tv. And I'm not enlightened, but I think it's petty for people to always dig at the next generation. Can you really not understand/ have empathy for that basic concept? We've had this discussion before. I would say half of the captains I fly with want to talk about that crap. Downfall of America, Hillary sucks, Obama sucks, yadda Yadda. I once had a captain that lectured me on how awesome Jesus is, and Obama being a Muslim ffs!
They are taking my guns away so I can't defend myself for the zombie apocalypse!!!! My money!!!
But please answer the question. Why can I be lectured but not lecture back there hotshot?

Something to keep in mind though: Lecturing is not about winning but rather all about presentation.
Also, I would not get all wrapped around the axle partaking in the generational blame game. My hope is that each successive generation after mine encounters better health, more happiness, and more success. I hope my son and my four grandchildren feel the same.
You will have to excuse me now as I am currently sipping an unhip non-trendy domestic brand beer and alas, I have some house tasks to get done.
Cheers!
