Gex X Ages

Reading this thread seems to bring into focus one the
failures of the 'boomers', ....that was the failure to
teach our kids, Gen. X, compassion, work ethics,
and a failure to instill in them a moral code and sense
of pride in themselves and for the country we made for
them. Instead of pride, they developed arrogance.
Instead of a work ethic, they feel entitled.
Instead of compassion, they've become bullies and
instead of morality, they chosen anomie....
 
LOLZ, how do you think the Greatest Generation felt about raising you dopey brats? They completely failed to teach you those traits, and to claim that you possess them is just hilarious!

I think that's because so many grew up without having anything and then having to work the long hours and sometimes 6 days a week, that we didn't want our children to have to be raised in the same conditions.
I think that most of us never thought that the economy would turn out the way it has and fully expected out children to actually have an easier time, with less of a necessity of "having to" and more "being able to".

There are way more things that contribute to this; but this was the short version.

Great response! Now admittedly part of the fun of this is instead of the usual right/left divisions we have on this board this changes it to age divisions which is more non-partisan. But as a proud member of Gen X I say F you Boomers!

Naaa....this isn't a left right thing. It's generational.

They have a saying in Cincinnati about Gen X'rs "Who Dey?"

Hmm.

What we're seeing here is the social contract in reverse. Very fascinating and really showcases the conservative mind, generally speaking. Also, the white male mind.

In fact, "the greatest generation" is the generation that was on the receiving end of the largest downward transfer of wealth in american history. Further, The social contract the baby boomers took on, was to take care of that generation, and in turn, they would be taken care of when it was their time. The boomers kept their end of that bargain. That's not entitlement.

Part of this is the thoughtless competitive instincts of simple minds shaped by meaningless sporting events, like Cawacko and Superfreak. Watch them. They're going to kill all the boomers! boomers suck! Boomers are takers! They are embracing the destrutction of the social contract. What happens next? I will tell you...within two decades Billy and Grind are trying to figure out how to make catfood out of Cawacko and Superfreak.

The social contract in reverse. Do unto others as you would have done to you. If superfreak and cawacko got their way - they fuck all the baby boomers and leave them with not safety net. But what then, in return, happens to Superfreak and Cawacko?

Sold as food by Billy and Grind.

Instructive huh!
