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?

[quote]How about tolerance toward others?[/quote] I think I'm only only one in my family who isn't in some way scared of black people, but I don't think that's really relevant. They're pretty apathetic about what other people think and believe. [quote]Do you think you and your peers are more accepting than your parents and your friends'?[/quote] I live in a Christian dominated area with more pseudo-conservative republicans than anywhere else I've ever lived. If I had to imagine, the people living here are most likely more extremist in intolerance than my uncaring parents.
