3 things come to mind.

This poll is invalid.

Also, what did you do that was so great? Except pollute the whole planet to make more and even more money while compromising our futur?

And go to sleep, Texan.

I think if we follow the course the Baby Boomer thread suggests we will be doing something of note.

Generation X will still be here when the Baby Boomers are all gone. Suck it old man.

[GVsdJZ2H]

Generation X, who is that again? I know that the one before me and after X was generation Y. Since I began my youth around the millennium, Y probably was those who had their youth in the 90s. Which leaves X to be the ones who were young in the 80s. And those, who today is in their, what, 40s, has not done anything yet Sloww?

Spec. ahh thank you Spec... then I would be a "generation X'er." So my good pal Slowwhand has indirectly insulted me I see...

i shall leave this poll "as is" without any further participation on my end unless deemed entirely necessary to defend my "honor" or "dignity." And if by chance one would try to make me "upset" or "insult" me further, then the only course of action would me to commence to "open-a-can-of-whoop-ass" upon one said poster's buttocks...

i say this in the highest possible regard, and with the utmost decency and respect of course...

piece... (for now)

[TughEmotteTug]

What generation is 1985? Or do I get both, or neither? If neither, then we need a new generation name. How about the "Extremely Lovable&Intelligent Generation"? No need to use the full name, of course. An abbreviation will be enough.

[tramadolwithall]

"Y" is even worse.

[arerrurrY]

Sloww... why are you up so early?

Well, its nothing factual, some say its between 68 and 81.

Spec. I'd say it extends to 1983, maybe 1984. My wife was born in 1981, and I was born in 1982. There's a definite gap between the two of us and our closest siblings, who were born in 1986 (my brother) and 1987 (her brother).

I think one characteristic that could establish the boundries between Gen-X and Gen-Y would be actual memory of the Cold War. I can remember the fall of the Berlin Wall, and I can remember the 1992 Soviet coup. I can remember having Reagan as president. My brother can't remember any of that.

Another difference would be the spread of information technology. I was 12 or 13 the first time that I used the internet. When I was a senior in high school few people had cell phones or used instant messenger. My brother and my oldest brother-in-law had completely different experiences.

As to the topic question: I voted that we'll get around to doing something someday. The Boomers have set the bar so low that anything we do will look good in comparison.

Oh you younguns can never do anything right!

Although I'd consider tackling global warming to be one, that's both contentious, and doesn't apply to the US. Yeah... we didn't buy into a flawed treaty that really wouldn't accomplish anything but allow some nations to pat themselves on the back and think they actually accomplished something meaningful

Instead, you should take a look at what the CCX has accomplished. The Chicago Climate Exchange is doing more to tackle global warming than a flawed treaty.
It has been so successful that the UK will probably set up their own version of it. Companies are volutarily joining up to do their share. The CCX gives them an economic reason to do so, and is providing real results.
Instead of just meaningless words on a badly written treaty, it's a practical and realistic approach to helping to solve the problem.

[DoniandaCoado]

Yes... it was fashioned after the CCX

[ticskebasse]

do you see yourself in this description?
The term was first used in a 1964 study of British youth by Jane Deverson. Deverson was asked by the editor of the magazine Woman's Own to conduct a series of interviews with teenagers of the time. The study revealed a generation of teenagers who "sleep together before they are married, don't believe in God, dislike the Queen, and don't respect parents," which was deemed unsuitable for the magazine because it was a new phenomenon. Deverson, in an attempt to save her research, worked with Hollywood correspondent Charles Hamblett to create a book about the study. Hamblett decided to name it Generation X.[2]

The real point is that companies are addressing Global Warming. And to claim that the US isn't doing anything about it because our crappy government wouldn't sign a worthless treaty is simply funny. Results are what really matters here. And the CCX and other such exchanges are providing real results.
