We are not directly to blame, but we need to have some vision..

JMHO

Eat me.

Everyone is painting a picture that the world is such a horrible place. War, violence, death, global warming, the economy, blah blah blah.

What's changed? Not much.

War is a fact of life. Because of the baby boomers and the Greatest Generation, and the sacrifices they made then, war is pretty doesn't exist. In the 1940s millions of men under arms marched into Europe, American, Russian, German, and even Canadians. Without even discussing numbers of men under arms who died, millions of civilians died. Millions. Now, the US was attacked for reasons we don't really care about, we invaded two countries, and lost all of what - two thousand men dead? Your fucking generation looks at this and says "how horrible" and we look at this and say "this is a cake walk".

The baby boomers have fucked up the environment? How so? In my day having a car used to be something special, and we didnt' drive everywhere either. We walked and rode bikes. We didn't invent the term "commute". You did.

Global warming? Give me a break. This is the biggest joke of all of mankind. Twenty years ago they told us the planet was cooling and we would all die in the upcoming ice age. Your fucking generation hasn't been around long enough to understand that we are vistors here, and earth changes, sometimes it cools, sometimes it gets warmer.

You want to talk about the environment? My generation grew up without fast food fucker.

Oh, and the economy is bad? Yeah, it's fucking horrible. People are lining up at the soup kitchens by the thousands because the unemployment rate is so high.

Your generation doens't understand the term "sacrfifice" but instead want to sue Microsoft because you were unable to play your fucking xbox over the Christmas holidays.

Speaking of Christmas, it wasn't the baby boomers who are offended by the term "Merry Christmas". Instead, it's your fucked up PC world that you are forcing on us.

I don't care who you plan on voting for. Your generation hasn't figured out yet that no one person is going change the world from the Oval Office.

I pitty our future.

Hey, its not my generation. I am 46.
I was just making an observation and have an opinion about things, thats all. And i absoultely respect your opinion as well. Nor will i bash you for it.

That is the one thing we DO have, Freedom of speech and freedom of expression.

Now that i have pissed everyone off, i will go away for a few days.. LOL

I've been pissed off exactly twice in my life. If I was pissed off, you'd either be missing your truck or be dead.

I love how people like to blame everyone for the problems of the world.

The world is a huge fucked up place. But still life goes on. And my life doens't change because of it. Recession? So, I still make good money and still have my house. We've invaded a few countries? Outfuckingstanding. Global warming? Great, because it's fucking cold out right now.

Peace.
