Amazes me how America has become, from the Greatest Generation who survived the Depression, fought WW II, Sent a man to the moon and back, invented Vaccines, Arpanet/Internet,etc..

And now this new soft generation, raised on a silver platter, coddled like a snowflake.

I know, it was much better when we were hating on people who weren't WASPS, imprisoning American citizens for no reason at all, and thought that a half inch thick wooden desk would protect us from nukes.

You should thank your lucky stars. If the millennials had any of the gumption people had a century ago, they would have already started a civil war against the Baby Boomers for the way they've managed to completely eliminate any promise of opportunity for future generations. "Hey, remember when people could buy houses? Haha, of course you don't. And you never will."

Every time I see a BM post that doesn't include a pome is a trigger. It fills me with rage and wants me to cause trauma on the nearest person.

There is that, but I'm trying to be nice about it these days.

I'd think having the young engineers I work with think they can casually change a drawing and it won't affect my programming and all the paperwork down the line on a long paper trail for ISO compliance is a big one.

I'm starting to think I am getting the point across now how much work is involved ever time they do something like that, they do not seem to realize every time they do that how much shit has to be done for compliance every time they do that.

I'm about ready to leave where I am over that, like a few others have. The people that are not actually producing an end product just have never done it enough in some places, and you have to run about trying to correct things for their mistakes.

Not going to vent any more than that, I was just used to working with high level engineers my other jobs, working with the kids straight out of college that do not seem to understand the ramifications of their mistakes is a real PITA.

Yeah but about as short as I could make that one.

Any time I see an young engineer trying to fix a screw up on a part that is all ready in production is the gist of it I guess.

Then I have to compensate for it legally.

sounds like software architects, but worse, because at least software architects have SOME experience

but they usually don't have to do anything they ask for... and they dont get when their really easy UML diagram change means 500 extra hours worth of work for developers :(

So what you're implying is that because there are potential problems and some people are making a mess of it we should just ban the whole thing. Why does that sound familiar?

Oh right, because that's exactly the argument of the people that you're arguing (or implying) against. :colbert:

Where did I advocate or imply that it should be banned? Who are these people that I'm arguing against?

Linking to an article written by a law professor at Harvard about the difficulty of teach rape law does not support any of those claims. It's merely showing the effect it is having on at least one college campus.

That seemed like a reasonable inference given that I said that this isn't really anything we haven't been doing for years and is fine within reason, it's just formalized and under a new name, and then you linked to something saying that then it gets stupid.

Maybe it was wrong, but it was reasonable, and I'm sure someone will seriously say something along the lines of "no accommodations should ever be made for any difficult subject because look at what a mess all this PC crap is making" before this thread has run its course.
