I'm watching the A&E docuseries, Undercover High. Seven young adults are placed back in a high school in Topeka, Kansas. Even though several of them have only been out 3 or 4 years, they are shocked by the cell phone use and lack of attention and discipline in the classroom.

On the other hand, Kyle Carpenter is also a millennial.

But sure, when the only media you consume is Breitbart and Fox News, it is completely natural to think that the sky is falling. It's a standard grift. Share articles and videos of young people acting irrationally and convince right wingers that the world is falling apart, and the only answer is demagoguery. This entire thread is a perfect example of sampling bias.

Ya know,

Sometimes words just fail me... Though letters do not. S.A. Yep, those letters ring a bell.

1. First post in the wrong place - check.

2. No profile - check.

3. A fail at reading comprehension - check.

Enjoy your new handle.

Millennial's take it personnel when there is bias against them.

Only two issues with your post idiot boy.

One, the information didn’t come from either of the sources you noted.

Two, I’d post a few million other faketube/google/fakebook millennial morons but I thought I’d post this one as a “classic” example of their moronic-narcissistic behavior.

If you’d like more for your bias sample study I’d suggest any of the above websites and all of the left-wing media sites.

And thank you for raising the sample bias awareness.

See you at #imanidiot

Then why did you even stop on your walk by here? That is not even a good "Aloha Snack-bar!"

You have our attention.

Please make your point in your next post, if you have one.
