We Gen X are it

1968.
They forgot about us X ERs. Because we are so chill. We seen the full cycle. But we are now the directors and VP's of these organizations now.

Straight white male X ERs are more rare than positive Trump stories.

Uh, you were not there as a parent! We were trying to raise a family during the Jimmy Carter years. The first house I bought in 1978 had an interest rate of 17%! ANd it was just a small house.

Gas lines with limited gas purchases were everywhere. That is if there was any gas at all. Groceries started going sky high.So yes, we worked, we HAD to to feed you and house you.

We barely could make it even with both parents working.

However, I will say that our parents basically instilled in us to give a better life to our kids than they were able to give to us. So "some" of that 2 working parents household was a result of making some wrong choices regarding "posessions." But very little of it. It was largely about survival.

.

Totally agree with this one!

You ever wonder why it's called generation 'X'?

Lol.

Aww hell I was born 82 :((

Why must you limit yourselves to a generation? "I'm Gen-x! I'm the Baby Boomer! I'm the Millenial!"

Who gives a cuck?

To limit yourself to a title makes you more of a sheeple than you can ever truly realize.

You know what I am? Generation-Z, that's right. Generation Zombie. There will be genocide.

Yeah, we were! Had to deal with things on our own, get to and from school on our own-4th grade on. It was great! We were able to bring firearms, demilled grenades and mines to show-and-tell. This pussy generation would literally crap themselves.

Absolute bullshit. If you take away Hillary's frauded votes, Trump was voted in by ALL AMERICANS in the biggest landslide in our history. We don't get to enjoy that claim because guess what? They are still "counting votes". 90% of that trash tearing up cities can't vote, didn't vote and have no say.

But I'm a millennial, 28, married with two kids, I was a state gop delegate for Ron Paul in 12 and I voted for trump.

Do I count?

Lol, gen x is solid, but there's also tons of us who are solid, I think it's because we had good parents

So true.

1971 here. Totally agree. Nailed it.

1977 here. I am definitely having a hard time with how to teach my children that you need to have struggle in life in order to be successful when everyone around them lives their life like a Willy Wonka golden ticket winner. I definitely deny I my daughter and son a lot of things, but they still live in stark contrast to how I was raised which was basically fend for yourself. I definitely had no parents to give me an example of how to raise my children. So where is the balance? I think that is a lot of what our generation is missing. They give too much to their children and expect too little in return. My kids will know how to use their hands to do things and work hard. None of their peers will.

1972

I thank God for the generation I was born in. I think GenX were the last to see the world when it was still pretty great. The world didn't start to go to hell until 9/11.


I'm thankful that we actually had friends and played outside. I'm thankful we still had close families and ate dinner together at the table. There are so many things I am grateful for. I actually feel bad for the Mils because they will never know what it was like to live in the world pre 9/11.

Hey, remeber that awsome powdered milk we drank!!!!

You do realize it's not a generational divide. It is a geographic divide. Country vs city. I'm an anomaly living on Philadelphia as a conservative. Too bad you fuckers sold all your land to big Agra. You could starve them out if not

I'm a first year Millennial, born in 1982. Some of us did get to spend our childhoods in pre-9/11 America at least.

Every generation is worst than the last. Guess what every generation since the beginning of time thinks they are superior to the next generation. Guess what the world hasn't ended yet nor is it likely to. And before someone says something stupid like I'm a "snowflake" let me say that I'm a baby boomer.

:ohlook:

hmmm 82 here but I don't know anyone that would consider me to have the mentality of a millennial.

Most of the true millennials I know aren't the special snowflakes you would expect. Most of them are active duty/veterans that have busted their asses fighting for this country. None of them would have ever voted for hillary. Many of them sight Benghazi and the fact that hillary will let you die then lie to your family about how it happened.

I think us 80's born "millennials" deserve a chance :)

LOL! Jane Pauley...that hussy.

Looks like it's time to fire up the IROC Z.

The older I get, the more I realize just how unbelievably selfish and self centered the baby boomers are. The war babies started that mindset to a degree.

My kid is in high school now....she is an excellent student and very smart...pre ap and ap classes since I can't remember when....GT program since first grade....These are the genX kids....we passed on critical thinking skills even though the schools tried to stifle it.

Hello fellow '82

I was already in the military when 9/11 happened. I do not identify as a millennial lol

Most of us born in the early 80s did not grow up with computers at home. I didn't get my first cell phone until I was out of high school and could afford my own.

Latchkey kids we were.....we learn to fend for ourselves. Try that with the snowflakes gen..They probably find themselves dead from starvation with food in the cupboards.


------------------------------------

They starved to death because they did not know how to use a Tin Opener. But they are proficient at pressing buttons on Phones etc. and not much else.

Ask a Snowflake this; if a Car is traveling at 60mph what distance will it cover in 2.5hrs, answer don't know.

Ask a Snowflake if a car consumes 1 gallon of fuel to every 50 miles covered how far will it go on 5 gallons, answer don't know.

Ask a Snowflake what they know about Trump and suddenly they are experts on the Don's life and they know everything.

I thought it went....
Gen X
Gen Y
Millennials (snowflakes)

That was great.
