Boomers

[Uncle Sparky]

I thought this was going to be about kangaroos...

Thank god the next generation doesn't have the balls to do anything about it except to whine on internet sites.

I can overlook an article's flaws when it so viciously attacks baby boomers.

I don't see what you've got against boomers. Given the character traits you've exhibited on this site, if you were born during their generation, you would have been the very worst of them!

When the revolution comes, you'll be among the first against the wall.

[rah]

I'm sure the revolution will be real soon.

[MOBIUS]

The young people of today are just a bunch of whiny self-centred crybabies with a vastly over-inflated sense of entitlement. Get in line and do your time!

I'm sure the revolution will be real soon.

The revolution has already begun.

Did I miss the part where they were putting boomers up against the wall and shooting them? I couldn't find it anywhere in the article.

[Tupac Shakur]

There's probably a working group making plans for that.

[rah]

Somehow I seriously doubt that. I'm still mystified to exactly what they're protesting as it is.
Is it greedy corporations? Corporations are greedy by definition and have been since the beginning.
Is it bad policy making by the Federal Government? Good luck with that.
A little clarity would really help their cause. Currently it just seems to be a group of people with nothing better to do.
(not unlike some of the protests in the 60's)

HC is hoping #1 isn't true.

Hopefully we will all be very well established by the time #1 ever happened. Any inheritance would be poor compensation for losing our parents.

[MOBIUS]

How long have you been rehearsing that line? It almost sounds sincere...

[rah]

While talking to my dad last month when I was visiting he mentioned that they have lived longer than they planned and have started eating in to the principle. He figures they still have enough to last a good bit longer. I hope to never see a penny.

Yeah, that's why I have a whole life policy on both of them.

[rah]

Term life makes more sense at that age. More bang for the buck.
