so they can finally STFU.

[matcom]

5. what should it be titled?

"How We Smoked Pot & Then Scolded Our Kids For Doing The Same"?

[MrCoffee]

8. It woulda worked too...

...if it weren't for you meddling kids!

[Redstone]

9. For Christ's sake. I'm as cranky an old bastard as you'll find, but that post is

just ridiculous. The kids he's bitching about are in their TWENTIES. Did we "boomers" accomplish all that stuff he talked about, when we were in our TWENTIES? No, we did not.

Furthermore, when most of us "boomers" were in our twenties, we were mostly smoking dope, drinking our faces off, and chasing nookie. (Because we were in our twenties in the 1960s and 1970s, weren't we?)

I may be in my fifties, but I haven't lost my perspective.

11. in case you want to respond

"It" is a "she" :D

[Redstone]

14. I did respond, but with nothing gender-specific, fortunately. And it was your post

that got me to answer, because I don't read posts by that particlar DUer as a rule.

I'll ridicule ANY generation's foibles, including my own, but I'd never write such a bitter post about how "we did all this, and what have you young fucks done."

I'm not THAT old and cranky.

12. There WILL be a war in this country very soon...you people laugh about it now

but you just wait until the bloodshed between the elderly and the twenty-somethings washes over our streets....have you ever seen the damage a walker can do at close range? or what about an I-Pod beamed at a fragile,vein-ridden forehead? Not pretty....not pretty AT ALL...


Can't we all just......get along? :(

13. Walker Kung-Fu!

It's like nuclear num-chuks and it's catching on, grasshopper.

[TK421]

17. Can you imagine them putting spikes at the ends of those things for

extra damage? How about Geritol guns? Okay....I have a feeling someone may flame me for that one. I should stop :hi:

[Redstone]

20. Be careful, because you're giving us old farts some ideas...Oh, never mind, you don't have

to worry, because we'll forget your suggestions in a couple of minutes anyway.

...What was it you ere saying, just then?

[MsKandice01]

15. LOL...I love it...

Old people are so cute when they get all cantankerous and grumpy.

[Redstone]

18. You're my friend, so I need a promise from you. I'm in my fifties, therefore old, but if I

ever post anything like that one, shoot me, would you?

C'mon. that's not much for me to ask of a friend, is it?

Redstone

[MsKandice01]

21. No, not too much too ask but...

I don't know if I could ever consider you old, friend. :)

[Redstone]

25. Thank you. If anyone asked me how old I FEEL, I'd honestly have to say

"About 32." I was every bit as cranky at that age (and younger) as I am now. And when I look in the mirror, I see a guy who looks about that age (God knows why, it's not like I've ever taken care of myself.

Redstone

[MsKandice01]

28. So see, we're the same age!

I'm 32 but since I'm so sleep deprived all the time (chronic insomnia), I feel about 40. I still get carded occasionally when I buy alcohol though. :)

[Redstone]

52. Chronic insomnia? Just wait it out. I had it at your age, but it went away.

72. My hubby asked me to do that if he ever left the house

with black socks and sandals

I promised him I would never ever let him do that, so it would not come down to firearms

38. I'm ignoring the author of that thread.

:shrug:

[matcom]

43. oh you GOTTA take her off!

if it's JUST for THIS thread!

I thought about it but her buttons are really fun to push! :rofl:

oh and on edit: she HATES progressives :D

[sniffa]

47. no thanks

after logging out, there's a reason I have that maggot on ignore. :eyes:

[CreekDog]

61. yes push her buttons

she's so analog :rofl:

[HughBeaumont]

60. I've alerted . . .

. . . that poster I don't know HOW many times for serial flaming and yet it's STILL here.

Amazing.

[sniffa]

62. I've become a serial alerter

I've learned my lesson, that the way to get around here is to just alert on people, rather than take them on.

And I'm now back on hyper-ignore; mostly because I'm absolutely fucking sickened by the racist shit being post here. And it's sad because quite a few of them, used to be really close friends, and people that I've fought along side with for years.

I will not tolerate homophobia, but at the same time, I will not tolerate my GLBT brothers and sisters going the racist route. It enrages me beyond belief. I agree with them whole heartedly about Obama... but I will not EVER go the racist route just to undermine him. Fuck that, and everyone who tries to pull that shit.

YOU CAN'T PAINT A WHOLE GENERATION THE SAME. NO MATTER WHICH GENERATION YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

[AngryAmish]

79. Stay off my lawn

or I'll attack you with caps lock

[ZombieNixon]

80. Though that thread does give a good argument against boomer music.

I mean, when you quote Wang Chung as a positive example of good music, your entire argument kind of gets shot to hell. :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

81. Prolly not a popular opinion there or here

its a real mixed bag


technology
and so on and so forth

baby boomers changed a lot for us all

some good

some bad

I'm 46 and some say that is a boomer

not hardly

but on the other hand, i have no place in society not an X'er, not a boomer, not an anything

they made a movie about my generation: "Dazed and Confused"

pretty well described my high school daze.
