Group us as you may, we still are alive and contributing.
You must really hate your mom.
Pitty!
A puss? How is that addressing my questions of you? How does that explain your assertion that my generation is acting like we are entitled to things?
And contributing to what? Like I’ve stated before, the policies that came about (and remained) under your generation’s watch are still making us sluggish to this day.
As for my regards to my mother, that is really not an issue in this discussion. Unless of course, you feel like blaming your mother for The New Deal...
Again- Methinks he doth protest to much.
Yeah, I heard of the VRWC.
Ever heard of the PajamaMedia?
Is your remedy that everyone aged 45+ die today and all of humanity thrive?
F oFF!
No, I don’t believe that’s anything near what I’ve stated.
As a matter of fact, I do believe I stated that those of your ranks who maintain a backbone, should follow and support the changes our generation is putting into effect.
Remember- you attacked me first. You stated my generation was a bunch of beggars looking for free entitlements. I asked you to both provide examples of my generation doing so, and examples of the contrary from yours.
You are YET to do either.
Glad to know you’ll listen to reason. Shows where we got our “inheretance” from.
You sound like an ungrateful, nearly aborted yet grown up leach on your 45 and older parents. Ouch!

Don’t group folks like me dude. You’d be surprised how many you’d like.
“You sound like an ungrateful, nearly aborted yet grown up leach on your 45 and older parents. Ouch!”
As for the leaching- yup, I leached all the way to a quarter of my COMBAT PAY buying my Saturn, CASH. I’m serving in the US Army and taking care of my damn self, thank you very much! And after your words so far, I wouldn’t even accept your deepest thanks. Not after the gems you showed me. BTW, unlike YOUR generation’s Army when you were 18, if you were going to serve here, it was based on volunteering, not a draft.
I never said I wouldn’t like any of you individually, although I am starting to question your generation’s reading comprehension education.
Damn I miss the 80’s!
That sounds just a leetle bit gay.
And it *looks* to me like you’re a grumpy old person, looking for a handout while being in need of an update to your eye prescription. Someone who dreadfully wished they could have lived in a time more suited to not being immediately stacked against the “Greatest Generation” and at the same time, resentful of the work ethic exhibited by generations since.
Your people brought Woodstock, JFK, expansionism in government, defeat in ‘Nam, bigger Media (that is only now being crippled), and 30 years of cowaring beneath desks in classrooms after your parent’s political heads decided to let Stalinism stay in place.
It is no small truth that points out that within the Reagan Administration, generation X was raised into the kind of people they are. Whereas yours was marked by Hoover, Kennedy and Johnson.
You want an “Ouch”? Hope you’ve been saving up your personal investments. We’re coming after Social Security next. We have no desire to give you a free-ride.
Oh, and next time you want to insult me... address it TO me. Freudian slips are a b1tch.
Me am not sure understanding.
So simple, a gayman could do it.
Sweetheart, I am a 49 year old married mother of a 12 year old. I have worked since I was 15 years old. My eyesight is better than 20/20 and I pay cash for all my medical needs, which is zero because I am of great health and look like I am in my 30’s.
When one starts grouping everyone in the same pile, it gives the impression of your own doubts, beginning with yourself.
I don’t want a damn thing from anyone, especially you. I have contributed and continue to contribute to this great pie in the sky SS/Medicare for all of those retired and on pensions, Union and Government workers and yes the Greatest Generation who benefited from my hard work and contributions over the PAST 35 YEARS! Notice they didn’t seem to mind my contributions until they realize I might want to claim some benefits in 25 years, WHICH I DON’T!!!!!
I could have invested my several hundred thousand dollars in SS. Just what do you think that would be worth at 10% growth over 35 years Sherlock?
Get a grip and stop blaming the problems of government on one generation. First of all it is called GROWING UP and second you might feel better! Hell, I hated the hippies too!
However, if you ever put me or anyone else my age in the Geritol crowd I’ll personally come through your monitor and X@!!XX@@@!!... /s.
Have a nice day.
Oh, and did I mention I’m Scott/Irish Mac?
