I can remember feeling that way about old geezers when I was young.

Now when I hear a young person say something like this my reply is:

"Do you want grandpa and grama living in a nice little condo down in Florida?

Or do you want to go back to the good old days before social security, where they move in with you and you get to listen to gramps cough up phlegm every morning at the breakfast table? "

Negative feelings toward someone you're not and sympathy for someone like yourself?

What a freakin' surprise!

Sure, I'm negative towards millennials.

That's why I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primary and will vote for Jill Stein in the general.

The millennials are voting for Hillary now. Stein won't get even 2%.
