humans are selfish, there's no way we'd have behaved differently in their shoes with the same knowledge they had.

And I disagree with Rah, we're all basically the same. Slightly different experiences but we're vastly more similar than we are different.

I will agree that we're more similar than different. but where's the fun in that.

I find it selfish, but it's not a surprise, the baby boomers have had it all and got spoiled. I still haven't met many of them that feel much responsibility for the next generation. In the old days, the previous generation did all they could to make life easier for the next, that seemingly died with the baby boomers. I know of disturbingly many who take out loans and live off them as there were no tomorrow, which means their heir either will have to renounce all their parents owned, or get into huge financial trouble by taking the loan with the rest.

Of course, not all of them is like that, but I'm glad my parents is not of that generation...

Actually, you come from one of the few countries in the world whose politicians haven't hollowed out with catastrophic debt - you should consider yourself lucky!

[NeroASERCH]

We might not have a choice, we might have to default in many cases.

Oh, I'm lucky, but when I hear about people who have to refuse to inherit anything from their parents because the parents have taken out loans on their villa twice the value and used it on themselves, so that the kids get a debt infested inheritance, I find that annoyingly selfish of them. The politicians have done fairly well in the loan department, that's true, but that has more to do with all the oil than anything else. We didn' get rid of the huge public debt before in the 90s, when the oil money really began to flow in.

It's not just the oil though, but basic fiscal responsibility. My country also benefitted from the oil money, but whereas you squared away your debts, we wanked our money away and are in a worse state than before the oil was discovered - especially seeing as we've already hit our 'peak' and now have to import again...

[Piediahef]

Thank God, I'm not a baby boomer and neither are my parents.

ACK!

[OlgaBorovikovva]

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

[alexbookhyip]

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.

[moopogyOvenny]

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...

Boomers lost Vietnam because they were spoiled little shits 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.

[hexniks]

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.

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

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

Typical Boomer. "I worked and took care of my kids! That's all I can be expected to do for society!"

[DialOne]

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.

Please stop trying to get gribbler to take me off ignore. I really appreciate being on his list, as it's cut down greatly on the moronic responses I have to deal with.
