    You are *******n right he rings a bell. He stole tech from Xerox and claimed credit for it. And then he couldn't figure out what to do with it. G3n-X comes along and he takes credit for their work. A stereotypical boomer riding he back of the other generations.

    Again you don't read. In what world is someone who's father was born in 1929 young. What do you think my dad had me at 70? You are just proving my point with ignorant comment after ignorant comment. You don't stop for one second to see if what you write makes any sense do you?

    Greed is wanting to keep as much of what's mine as possible? Nah, that's just common sense. Taxes are necessary. But overtaxation is not. And using taxes to create a bunch of fake jobs so you can claim you helped unemployment....thats the actual greed.

    And you're qualified to determine the appropriate amount of taxation how?

    By listening to Rush Limpdick?

    I know you are a boomer so let me explain this concept that you, and most of your generation for that matter, never got through your head.

    The world does not rotate around you.

    Baby boomers and generation-X while growing up didn't expect a trophy every morning for just getting out of bed.

    It's not the millennial snowflakes fault but my generation, the baby boomers who cuddled our children and liberal political correctness that created a generation of (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*). .

    "Nobody wins unless everybody wins." :roflol: Everybody gets a trophy.

    You seem to be here to have childish little arguments while I'm here to discuss and debate. You are here because you have issues, I am here to discuss issues so move on, you're barking up the wrong tree with me X boy.

    I tend to agree that the snowflakes are the product of liberal parenting but at some point you are an adult you have to become responsible for who you are and quit blaming your parents. It will be interesting to see if the flakes ever grow up

    Oh come on! The Boomers were the most spoiled generation to come along, which is why they were also called the Me generation. They grew up with unheard of prosperity and because of their numbers, they influenced society itself all while television pandered to them and told them that all their troubles could be solved in 30 seconds with a pill. When they became adults, they actually believed they could change the world and they tried! Talk about entitlement.

    What the (*)(*)(*)(*) are you talking about ?

    The hippies, yippies were just a minority within the baby boomer generation. The vast majority of baby boomers like their parents were the silent majority.

    80% of the Greatest Generation of military age served in the military. There's also the "Silent Generation" (born between 1928-1945) those who fall in between the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomers Generation (born between 1946- 1964). My generation (Baby Boomer) , 40% of males who were of military age during the Vietnam War era served. We served because of duty to country, it was expected of us. The Silent Generation 35% of the males served. The Millennial snowflakes only 3% of Millennials snowflakes males have served.

    It's the Millennials who are the "Me Generation" they have no concept of duty, honor and country.

    Childish? Who is the one crying that the other guy is mean. Here is the difference I don't care that I am a typical in your face Gen-X. I quite enjoy it. You however have a huge problem being back typical boomer.

    I think the problems Gen Xer's have are the ones expressed in Fight Club. We had nothing that previous or future generations had in terms of a great war and what not. The in between generation. In that, I share your rage, but these days I'm just tired.

    Never said it did. Go back to the initial comment by the poster I was responding to for context.

    The US has continued deficit spending and accumulated debt of $19 TRILLION, it has been in continuous wars/fighting for two decades now, the US has neglected domestic programs in favor of massive military spending, public education is a joke, it costs $50K to $300K to obtain a college education, the US infrastructure is crumbling, inflation is out of control in the high employment centers, half the world wishes to bring harm and destruction to the US, and the country is critically divided along religious, economic, racial, and political lines.

    I ask everyone here; Who could possibly be motivated with all this (*)(*)(*)(*) going on?

    I know there are still opportunities for those who can focus, make good decisions, and put forth the effort to achieve their potential...but unfortunately this is only about 5% so we're left with 95% basically hopeless and clueless...

    Well there's this funny thing. The groups I listed all had threads started by conservatives very expressly stating their hatred and disrespect for those groups.

    Now please point to threads or statements that support your nonsensical claims.

    This is a large question, but I'll do my best to answer. Capitalism was at its strongest around the early 20th century. This led to the American middle class. What happened in the 70s and 80s? Corporations cut wages and moved overseas with the permission of the US government. By the 90s, all hope was lost under Bill Clinton's NAFTA and other "free" trade agreements making sure those jobs never come back to the US, as well as destabilizing our entire future by letting banks gamble with depositor money (repeal of glass steagal). If that wasn't enough, capitalism demanded we go to war in Iraq to enrich defense contractors and government personnel, so the last decade plus, we have been wasting our citizens money in foreign lands.

    And you wonder why millenials have give up on capitalism....we want to be free from that. Majority of us want democratic socialism, look to scandinavia.
