I have recently heard headlines from the remain camp regurgitated by young people who are supposed to be 'the educated young' compared to the bigoted idiots who voted leave.

3 million will lose their jobs
Nobody will want to trade with us
The EU is not to blame for immigration
How does immigration affect housing?
Leaving the EU will make housing cheaper

If you really think enough of the 600,000 or so 16/17 year olds have enough knowledge or experience to analyse and make a decision that they haven't been brain washed into then fair enough.

Only 36% of the 18-25 voted and then act like keyboard warriors who'd run a mile or clam once confronted. The best thing they can do is pull together and make the best of everything when a likely compromise or middle ground is reached with the EU members.

I could say the same when you post one liners.

I'm stereotyping them because enough of them are showing themselves to be an embarrassment and forgetting some of the core values of our society, and all because they can do it from a keyboard.

Before last week I felt sorry for all the young and how much harder it is to be able to live away from home. Not so much now but they can still redeem themselves, not that I think anything much when seeing young people out and about, apart from buying a belt and skinny jeans look shyte, or if they're anti social in daylight and in sight of people.

I don't disagree with your argument at all, I just think the way you stereotype young people is lazy and weak.

Judging by the bit in bold, you clearly disagree with the stereotyping of all leavers as bigots, and rightly so, but how do you then justify proceeding to stereotype another massive portion of society in a similar manner, as you have done across numerous posts on here recently?

Funnily enough, I don't think you realized what you argued. Here it is, and I quote: "Let's try again shall we. 16 and 17 year olds are bitter at being disenfranchised."

As they never had the vote this statement is false in fact. Had you instead argued that they are disenfranchised by not being granted a vote, that might have been more reasonable.

Funnily enough, this might help:

It's like you're taking the stereotyping high-ground - neither are fair or representative, so both are wrong - surely you can see the contradiction in what you're doing?

As for the rest of the post, on the whole I agree - I was a remainer throughout, but the refusal to accept the result does nothing but hinder progress and further divide the country - but lazy stereotyping of large portions of society performs a very similar function in that regard.
