I'm not sure how I feel about the "this generation is soft, woke PC rubbish" type stuff on this forum lately. Especially as us autistic people are surely likely to be targeted for that for many reasons.
Better safe than sorry. If we're not equipped to deal with snow in terms of people getting to school/work then that's another problem.
Who mentioned woke? Who said anything about generations?
Seriously, this appears to a text book example of a thread going wrong and people getting upset because some people are making assumptions about other peoples motivations...
In truth, the answer to the original question, is that currenlty we get warmer less snowy winters than they did in the sixties,(which I can remember) but history records that it was even warmer in the 1800's so the truth is when it comes to snow certainly, yes society is full of wimps who haven't any relaevant experience so are somewhat afraid of snow.
As for the woke stuff, just lets leave it out eh?
Hard times make strong men.
Strong men make easy times.
Easy times make weak men
Weak men make hard times.
Then the cycle repeats.
No matter which side of the social political spectrum you sit, you'll probably see the basic truth in the old words I reproduced above. Adn if we explored the issue you'd probably find that we all know which stage in the cycle we are at.
I agree that the thread title is "somewhat" inflammatory.....although it is appropriately posed as a question, presumably to prompt people to express their opinions on it, if they so choose. This is what has happened. This is a forum, so that all seems fair enough to me?
Robert started this thread and he is a valued member of this community and has been for many years. He, surely, has the right to express his views here.....in what he can rightly consider to be his home turf?
If all alternative views to our own are shouted down and dismissed, then this forum will become EVEN MORE hollowed out than it has already become. I fear for this place, and my part within it.
[Disambiguation.....I support everyone in their right to express their views....but I am becoming UTTERLY exasperated that the skills and "calm" required to do this WITHOUT BLOWING EVERYTHING UP seem to have evaporated from, us, the people. I fear for the souls and future of us, the people.]
