Online feuding between China's 1980s and 1990s

guest8695	An internet war of bickering has been raging between China's younger generations after the May 12th Earthquake: the War between the 1980s (born in 1980s) and the 1990s. It was a war between "Strawberries" and "Jellies". "Strawberries" was the nickname of "the 1980s generation" or (post-80s generation).( The nickname means they are pretty and easily bruised, just like the flowers growing under the shield of the roof of greenhouse). By the way, they are also dubbed as " Little emperors". The 1990s are nicknamed as "Non-stream" generation, also the Jellies"(colorful.insubstantial gelatin desserts). The key argument between the two generations is that who is more patriotic and responsible and who is more spoiled and pampered. The war continues online.In the past,there are generation gaps between parents and their children. Currently, ten-year-difference can produce "generation gap".How about the young children in western countries? Do they have the internet wars?

GUESTPOST80	The post-90s generation is more spoiled than the post-80s. The recent incidents, happened in a middle school in Kunming, capital of Yunnan province, provide forceful evidence. Ten girls (15-16 year old) humiliated one dorm-mate by forcing her to take off the clothes and use the cellphone to film her naked body. There are more such scandals. China’s post-90s generation is more rebellious.
