Is that like saying all Catholics are pedophiles like the priests who shamed themselves, or like all Protestants are whoremongers like the ministers who got caught? How about all whites are racist because of the KKK?
And there are more of us then of those who fell for the 60s mentality.
I made the distinction between the 2 subsets of Boomers (The Woodstock set and The Moon Landing set)in previous posts.
That’s similar to the criteria used to blame boomers for practically every problem since the end of WWII.
That’s because like the analogy of a snake consuming a pig whole as the boomers have grown up their appetites and predilections for every consumable imaginable (from higher education to Viagra) has driven the marketplace and will continue to due so.
Why get married? Just find a woman you hate and buy her a house. (you will save a lot of aggravation)
why get a job out of high school, or go to college, when you can live in your parents basement and go skateboarding with your 15-yr-old friends until you are age 27 with a beard and developing beer belly. The chicks dig guys who can pull off a ‘sick’ grind on the tube.
Lol, so the boomers are the only generation of eager consumers ever produced by the USA? You sound more and more silly. But here's a site where you can go and entertain yourself and cultivate your hatred of boomers:
You know when you have won an argument when the other side resorts to personal attacks, snarky comments, references to Hitler, etc.
I agree, your snake consuming a pig remark was as if you’d run up a white flag, and that site I linked for you will provide you with more and similar “witty” remarks.
The boomers have destroyed (in my lifetime) the family, marriage, sex, objectivity, morality, piety, a sense of shame, privacy, community, personal responsibility and the economy. Is there anything left the eternal adolescents wont destroy?
Smearing an entire generation and there was never even half of them that fit the stereotype you and others throw around so mindlessly, and you still blame boomers for changes that took place when none could even vote.
Enjoy your ignorance and hatreds.
“Where’d ya read that? I’m in Texas? Things are great!”
I couldn’t find the article.
So, lots of jobs in Texas? Jobs that will pay the bills, I mean.
“The Beatniks were sort of like the first obscure rappers and hip hop performers.”
Remember the Great Folk-Music Scare of the 50s and 60s?
Whew! That crap nearly caught on.
Imagine if we still had to listen to commies like Pete Seeger whining on about Joe Hill.
Well, everybody and their dog is moving here so unemployment is like 8.8 or something. But cost of living is rock bottom so $1 goes further than almost anywhere else. Texas created 40% of all the jobs created in the last two years. Those are just the facts. That’s why Perry is running.
“What a freak show! Big hair”

Did I miss any?
The thing that sticks in my mind is military men from Letterman Army Medical Center in brand new uniforms, fresh haircuts, and bandaged wounds, some with crutches and wheelchairs, walking up Haight Street with looks of bewilderment. They had faced a deadly enemy with courage, but on Haight Street they found an enemy who might really pull their country down.
“weird clothes.”
IMO, those weren’t clothes, but costumes.
“The bottom line is, man apart from God is hopelessly selfish and evil.”
Busted. Just when I thought I was going to make it to the border, too.
“Really living, real life is the never ending fight for truth. Always has been, will always be.”
Sometimes the never-ending fight to keep a roof over your head and food on the table distracts a person from that.
High corporate tax rate? LOL! The biggest company in the world, GE, PAID NO TAXES last year. AND they took a SUBSIDY from the working taxpayer that is disappearing! No wonder the working man is wiped out, he is supporting the whole global economy with his paycheck.
You’re perpetuating the ‘free trade’ lie. A true American knows that taxes on wages were unconstitutional at the founding of our nation, until the rotten globalists corrupted our free government into arguably ‘passing’ the 16th amendment.
“Well, everybody and their dog is moving here so unemployment is like 8.8 or something”
This article says that in July real unemployment among job-age men nationwide was about 36.5%.
Texas is a mighty big place. Where is best for jobs?
Depends on what you’re looking for. What kind of work?
Where you get this 'free trade lie' stuff, I don't know. So you think the US having among the highest corporate tax rates in the world is just some sort of joke? Illinois where I live jacked their corporate tax rate up by 67% this January and have lost 89,000 jobs since then with unemployment going up a full percentage point. The US in a microcosm. Bet you think that is a laff riot, too since you clearly haven't actually thought it through.
