    While I don't take quite as harsh a stand as the author, I tend to agree.

    That the story of Narcissus is itself thousands of years old would seem to indicate youth and the fixations of vanity are not a new problem.

    I don't think that any of his assertions are true. Maybe the tattoos. Maybe.

    Can I get a ruling as to this thread's degree of irony?

    Given that it is a Fox News story I would say degree is fairly high.

    The U.S. already raised a generation of deluded narcissists, the Baby Boomers.

    We have always been at war with "young people."
