Nothing like a sweeping generalisation to help denigrate and negativise an entire generation, is there?

Max forgets that a lot from that generation are in the Armed Forces, serving in Afghanistan, and most of my son's and daughter's friends (who are of that generation) are hard-working polite young people.

Let's not let the actions of a minority of knobheads tar an entire generation, eh?
