More tolerant or just lazy?

Gen Y's attitudes differ from parents'
By Sharon Jayson, USA TODAY
The views of young people today on politics, social attitudes and life goals are far different from their baby boomer parents', a national survey of 18- to 25-year-olds suggests.
More than two-thirds (67%) believe immigrants strengthen American society; a quarter favor increasing legal immigration.
Just 47% of those ages 41 to 60 say immigrants strengthen society; among those 26 and older, 16% say immigration should increase.
While young people are split over gay marriage (47% in favor, 46% opposed), those over 25 are not: 64% oppose same-sex marriage; 30% favor it.

Are we really more tolerant or just lazy and apathetic?

Sailor comes home

Great video of a sailor coming home and suprising his young son at school.

What shocked me was I actually had to fight with someone about this father not being a cold blooded killer. How did my generation become like this. Touching video though.
