Ah, logical semantics. My confusion arose because you wrote, "I don't believe you should condemn future generations because you're stuck in the past," which sounds like you are addressing people on the forum.
To indicate you are talking of others, in the old days, one might have written, "I don't believe one should condemn future generations because one is stuck in the past," but nowadays we would use a less formal construct of "I don't believe people should condemn future generations because they're stuck in the past.."
Sorry I misunderstood.
