This answer demonstrates two concerns about "this generation". One is that it has never learned to express itself in an intelligent manner with proper grammar. Second is that it is a "me first" generation with little concern for politeness and concern for others.

I think you're very much over-exaggerating here. This generation just has a much more public venue to express it's flaws than past generations had.

Being this person's first and only post has me thinking that it's more of a junk post by someone outside the country, attempting to type in English.

Agreed. Exactly how I read it. That being said, tweeting at a funeral is retarded. So is announcing deaths and the like on Facebook.
People may want to get it out there to avoid calls or whatever but it feels like narcissism.

Do you also have questions as to whether farting loudly during communion is appropriate ?

Booger-eating whilst giving the keynote address ?

Pissing in the debutante punchbowl ?
