Dah, I forgot the part I meant most to respond to.

But that doesn't mean that there aren't severe and definitive differences when we analyze those generations when we combine the individuals based on shared experience and attitudes. Once again, that doesn't mean there can;t be exceptions, as I recognize I am an exception in many cases, but the exception does not invalidate the rule.
And for the record, almost none of the charitable organizations were created by the bottom two generations and compared to the size of the generations our involvement in them isn't even worth mentioning. Try again.

Prove it then. Do you have some kind of statistics you are referring to about how much money and time one generation contributed over another? Or just generalization based on your own experience?
Yes, I understand that generalizations can be generally correct, that's the idea, but unless you have statistics or studies or trends to back up your generalization, then your generalization is as good as any other. If you have some studies to refer to, I would like for you to share some of what you know. I'll make another thread if that makes you feel better about it.
