Quoting: 3643297 At least they had accomplishments to hang their hats on. If you're 60, that means you were 20 in 1981. You would have seen the start of endless wars in the Middle East, multiple real estate bubbles popping, the hollowing out of the American middle class in favor of private capital, and the implosion of US industry during your life. During which the overwhelming majority shrugged and went home to watch Wheel of Fortune and pro football. They did the opposite of doing anything hard; they did nothing. What are you doing any different? I'm not complaining about all the things I could have done something about and never did. Also not blaming everyone other than myself because I'm not mentally weak. So I ask again: What are you doing to better the world?

What did anyone in your generation accomplish? Destroy American industry by making awful products? Ship jobs overseas? You're quite right... we didn't accomplish much if you consider our generation eventually spawned little asswipes like yourself. Think about it. Doesn't require that much effort for me to grasp that yes, if everyone you reared are failures, that's pretty indicative of how successful your generation was. Why don't you enlighten us with YOUR achievements then? Quoting: Emergency Patriot Hologram Apart from hanging out on GLP while you should be hard at work. I'm not bitching that the world failed me because I'm not some AARP-age lsoer with a victim complex hoping to sop up some sympathy. You're 57: In what world is that retirement age? Unless you're one of the people who strip mined this country or a lottery winner, you should be at work too. You won't do anything in your community because "communists". You won't do anything for your church because you don't actually go to one and never have. Your bible, if you own one, you stole from a Quality Inn. All you're gonna do is post on messageboards and Facebook. I'm now over 70 and retired from government service at 59 [and took a serious hit on my pension by doing so]. Hardly a "loser", as a Haz-Mat Specialist I personally influenced the policies of my agency and left it a safer place for not only other federal employees but also the general public. Along the way I became a performed playwright and videographer who today holds several copyrights and has works archived in the Library of Congress. I not only have copies of the Bible, The Egyptian Book of the Dead, the Book of Mormon, the Torah and the Dead Sea scrolls on my bookshelves I've actually read -and more importantly- comprehend them. But, I never bothered with the Koran and don't intend to. So, blow me. And try not to drool as you do. Cool - you think the people in this thread will try and steal your achievements as their own since they almost certainly have none to point at? Congrats, by the way, on doing at least a decent job of not completely screwing off while being paid with my tax money. Wrong, little keyboard warrior: I worked for one of the very few federal agencies that doesn't accept "your" tax dollars. And I only listed my "accomplishments" to rebuke a wholesale assessment of my generation. Care to list a few of your own to validate your social insignificance? But, watch it... you're already dribbling out of the side of your mouth. |

It's going at friggin warp speed. Five years now feels what five weeks felt when I was 20-something. Yes. Time really is out of control for some reason. I passed the 70 mark last year and am lucky enough to have made it this far with both mind and body intact, if missing a few teeth... I've never even had a regular physician! So, with the passing decades the biggest change I've noticed is my far looser tongue. Whereas even just 15 years ago I wouldn't speak up about something because it would be considered "rude" today I take no prisoners and do not suffer fools gladly. And yeah: once in awhile I'll deliberately pick a fight with some young punk just to put them in their place. The wonderful thing is how EASY it can be! Good for you now get back to 15 years ago when you were happier for exercising self discipline People with your current attitude enhance the negativity of our entire generation of baby boos....nobody likes aggressive shoot first aholes and they are really really repugnant when they get older. Suggestion keep your unhappiness to yourself. Younger people have their own issues to deal with and would either like a helpful attitude or none at all. Not surprisingly, both you -and the OP- missed my point. I don't randomly attack anyone, but WILL go after some little asswipe who thinks in his 22 years he's lived lifetime enough to dictate to someone -anyone- with more experience and knowledge. And it's why so many "young people" have their issues... they refuse to take heed of those who've lived before and already learned from those same mistakes. Further: it's actually freeing to speak what you know to be the truth instead of sheepishly bleating out bullshit just to avoid offending someone's multi-gendered-falsely-assumed-only-I-matter sensibilities. You should stray from your flock and try it sometime if you have the courage to face an old Wolf that will instantly recognize you as easy prey and make you regret your own ignorance. BTW: I'm FAR from unhappy. In fact, you both just made me grin! Last Edited by GSB/LTD on 02/18/2021 01:02 PM |

Well, they lived through one of the best overall economic periods in history in which they were in the top quartile. They don't know what hard times are and are baby powder soft. If they don't speak in cliches and cite the hard work their grandparents did (as they did none), what else do they have to point at? "I was put in charge of stuff and created protocols." That would sure sound really incredible to someone who pumps gas or is a register jockey, but anyone who's been in project/middle management knows that's what the job is there to do. You got paid to do it. It was your function. Next? |
