It's one of those words that can only 1) make people write off your point entirely, or 2) make people immediately hostile.
I fall into the first camp, when I hear someone accuse kids of being 'entitled' I assume there simply isn't anywhere to go from there in terms of discussion.
Maybe some of them are entitled, but a lot of what young people want are things their parents got no problem. They aren't entitled for expecting certain things, or wanting to change society.
