Description

I think it's flawed; the idea of keeping everything the same as it was specifically when YOU were younger is going against the way societies work.

Times will ALWAYS change. If conservative ideas were put into practice in the year 1900, you wouldn't like the world, would you?

Expecting it to change for you just because YOU like how it was before will only cause misery for those coming after you.

And it needs to be be said that this debate stems from a foundational misunderstanding. The conservative vs liberal divide is about speed and change and caution thereof. Thus sayings like a "conservative estimate" being small, and a "liberal estimate" being less small.
