That quote is often trotted out but all it actually means that is at some point in history, people thought that the kids of today are soft. It doesn't imply any continuity between that thought then and the same thought now.


Maybe there is something to it. All of the great civilizations eventually collapsed.


I agree -- the logic is inescapable: Complaining about kids brings about the collapse of civilization. :)
