The Most Selfish Generation

Yeah, this current generation isn't exactly full of win against lesser armed militias.

I'd love to see how long you'd last fighting the viet cong.

I'd love to see him right now in Afghanistan proving he is better than a baby boomer

[OneFootInTheGrave]

Or just do a mass default now and start from scratch - it would balance the books as it would be the older wealthier generation that would suffer losing all that money...

Year zero... like Cambodgia... we will only stop at killing the elderly though, everyone below 60 is OK

I didn't see what Jaguar said there but I'm guessing that he was having a pop at Gribbler, as usual.

I have Drake on ignore but I'm guessing he made another post about baby boomers because that never gets old.

I'm just going to throw it out there that constantly talking about who you have on ignore is passive-aggressive and kind of pathetic.

Got you there rah, because we all know you're a Republican...

Yeah you're right but only partially true. but those I voted for didn't always win. And it's really not all that clear cut. I did vote for Slick Willie. And despite the Tea party's veneration of Reagan, he did raise taxes.

Politicians were responsible for Viet Nam. Just like Bush, Sr., they bowed to the wishes of the world community and didn't let the military do their job.
Exactly like Korea, which wasn't baby boomers. H.C. is an idiot at times. Mobius is an idiot at all times.

He wouldn't, he'd use his parents' connections to dodge the draft...

Boomers lost Vietnam because they were spoiled little ****s who couldn't fight gooks wearing flip flops despite having helicopters and napalm.

I'd love to see how long you'd last fighting the viet cong.

[MOBIUS]

Got you there rah, because we all know you're a Republican...

[Jon Miller]

But you have voted for senators and congressmen and presidents for the last ~40 years.

Additionally, you have lowered taxes and increased spending by the choices of who you vote in.

I agree that my generation is not blameless. Nor is the oldest generation blameless.

But 40 years ago we had much higher effective tax rates and much lower debt. The difference between then and now is what I mostly blame on your generation. And your generation is still the leaders...

Looks like the only thing the Baby Boomers will be leaving to future generations is the massive national debt they ran up. What a truly vile generation...

I have Drake on ignore but I'm guessing he made another post about baby boomers because that never gets old.

FYI

But that's the problem with any generalization. There are good and bad in each generation. I know every younger person isn't a whiney useless POS, and I shouldn't think that, but I know I am easily trolled on this topic.

[Hauldren Collider]

Well, I didn't mean you personally...these sorts of things require teamwork

[rah]

I've worked almost every day since I was 13. I've taken responsibility for myself, my family and everything I do. I've also contributed time and effort supporting the community through mentoring and tutoring programs. So you can kiss my ASS
