Also, part of the reason you're offended by the millenial label, is because it has an element of truth to it. If someone called you a green alien you wouldn't be offended because it has no truth to it.
I'm technically a millenial, 26, but I feel so different from that stereotype, I'd laugh if that was used towards me, unless they were serious, then I'd wonder where I went wrong.
Your posts have loads of the annoying millenial traits. For fun, here are a few:

Trying to gain some sort of upperhand in the argument by saying 'you never denied it' and then making a joke that he 'stalked you'.
It is a sweeping generalization because you refer to it as an implicit negative trait. Simple.
Cool. Nobody cares, plus talking in an overly intellectual manner, in order to appear intelligent.
And what is the problem of arguments? Isn't that what the forum is for, too? I've never had a single warning based on arguments I have had here, with anyone.
No the forum is for discussion, suprised you haven't recieved a warning.
Arguing is good, even if you don't really agree with the cause you're defending.
No. That's what annoying millenials who think they're still in their debate or philosophy class do.
People could assume I'm "pro-immigration" when in fact I care very little about it. But I dislike seeing catastrophic and often ludicrous predictions being presented with NO DATA, NO SOURCES, NO METHOD. Mostly by simply appealing to the binary "us vs them" and the usage of archaic international relations terms which have since evolved since the world is less and less "black and white".
I don't have the right to say x person should be "compassionate" on my behalf and pay for any kind of support to these people. I don't even defend this kind of economic model nor the "welfare state". But this can be extended to all aspects of taxation and further redistrubition. And there's also the assumption that these immigrants won't "give back". In my country immigrants have a positive balance of 300 million euros in terms of what they give and take. This is a place for serious discussion and it bothers me to see that the arguments used are often those appealing to fear of what is different because it is different. But then again I suppose appealing to our primal side instills more vigorous and numerous action, acceptance and followers.
Ugh, just more of the wafflely language millenials use when they're arguing on the internet to try and seem more intelligent. Blah, blah, blah.
Plus overuse of "quotes" around "things that are unneccesary to quote" to get your "point" across.
Two meandering paragraphs that use a lot of big words.
I can't tell if you want to argue about this forum, what was said to you by someone else, immigration being a problem or whether you should argue about other peoples compassion.
(It's funny you buy the crap about they give your country 300mill euros more than they take, this takes into account skilled workers and people who have lived there for decades. Even if it does somehow help the economy, you would rather help the rich get richer through illegal immigration, than have a better running country? money isn't the only thing you should worry about.)
