Do you find yourself frequently disagreeing with your parents' stances/opinions on social issues; maybe even a completely different political ideology? How about tolerance toward others? Do you think you and your peers are more accepting than your parents and your friends'? Can't find a politician you agree with?
I do, and given charge against some current issues and problems (gay marriage, for instance) is arguably mostly led by the baby boomer's children, Gen Y, I eagerly await the time when our generation has power so we can quickly put the issues of today behind us (and yes, I realise they probably said the same thing).
Thoughts?

Edited by VIC: 5/25/2013 4:40:21 PMMy parents' stance on social issues align pretty similar with mine. They're pretty much "live and let live" kind of people. Don't worry, when our generation is "in power" we'll be seen as intolerant for something. We just don't know what it is, yet. Each generation becomes more tolerant and accepting of differences than the one before it (not that it excuses anything).
