Gen X-ers, its Us vs. Them

The Fake Lonnie Finch · July 18, 2011

Let's face it, whether you're a Republican or Democrat, you've been screwed. Baby boomers and their politicans have run up a huge bill and we're left to pay for it...us and our children.

They said we were worthless when we were out cutting class and getting laid. But, in reality, they're just more jealous that we got more overall trim than they did, and we did it in the hey day of women - the 80s - when almost every woman in America was firming her assets with aerobics three or four times a week.

So, they've run up their massive debt and are sexually frustrated (hence, their baby boom creation of Viagra), and we have to somehow pay for it.

Screw you, Baby Boomers! Quitters! You quit Vietnam and quit paying your bills! You quit and shirk. I'm glad I dated and slept with your daughters in your own houses! We've disrespected one another, so we're even. You are my enemy until my Generation's Republicans and Democrats save the day, like they're going to have to.

Put your pencil back in your pants. We'll figure this one out without you.

Filchers.

Oh c'mon the late 80's was the era of Reagan Youth conservatism. Ruffled Puritan collars, Little house on the prairie dresses, baggy everything, shoulder pads, unkept special places...whats not to like?

As a part of the baby boomer generation that thought that we had no business in Viet Nam, that we ought to provide medical support for the elderly poor, and poor children, and that we had no business in Iraq....here's a little sentiment from our late 60's heyday (good ol' Zap Comics)

It was our generation that advocated "making love and not war". Which would have been much less stressful on our national debt.

And btw, Viagra wasn't created....it was discovered by accident.

You guys are really funny. Best comedy routine I have read in sometime. Don't let any lack of knowledge of history get in your way of a great comedy routine.

Lonnie, what, you didn't have your own place and you had to use the homes of folks who were actually working and paying their mortgages to hit on their daughters? It's not a bunch of Baby Boomers who have had their homes foreclosed on because they bought more house than their egos could pay for.....What, you get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

:notfair: BooHoo. bring it on..."Us", we "Them" can handle it. HeHe.... :sword:

I think it should be Silver and TheFakeLonnie at 20 paces...my money is on Silver...I've seen TheFakeLonnie play flag football. :rolleyes:

That wouldn't work - he's already said, his generation makes love, not war. It's our generation fighting the war on terror...on the front lines. We're not running around protesting the protection of our future.

If it weren't for Ronald Reagan telling Mikhail Gorbachov to stick his balding pate back up his poop shoot, the Soviet Union would have never folded. And sandwiched in between Reagan and Gen X are this generation of money-wasting Baby Boomers.

I say they do away with the Republican and Democratic parties and replace them with the Born Pre-1965 Party and the Born Post-1965 Party. Watching these baby boomers trying to solve the debt is like watching six midgets trying to light the fart of an ostrich over and over again. It's pointless - we already know that sissy McConnell will cave, and the fart will be lit nevermore.

No...it's not. MY generation (those of us born in the 80s)is the one BOTH fighting and dying in the ridiculous war on terror as well as protesting for the protection of our future. Most of your generation actually managed to avoid military service being too young for Vietnam and Korea and most too old for Desert Storm.

So our generation didn't have a chance to serve, but when your generation did, you opted out? Then decided to call the effort "ridiculous"? How exactly does that make you better?

Kinda makes you sound like a little kid.

I served and I got spit on for it. I see no point in the ridiculous thread. Each and every generation has its successes and its "not so successes". Anyone with even half a brain can figure that out.

The folks in DC who were leading "my war" were not Baby Boomers. Most were from the so-called "Greatest generation" and the Korean War era. The Baby Boomers were fighting and dying in numbers much greater than we see today. We can be thankful that the current group of young men and women serving their country in armed forces are not subjected to the causality rates the Baby Boom generation suffered through. One casualty is one too many, however.

carry on...can we talk UNT football instead?????

I keep hoping that this is an urban legend. Because I cringe in shame every time I hear it. It had the unfortunate effect of cancelling out a lot of good political dissent that had been going on.

Yep.

It's your generation fighting and mine. And...the 60s hippies are laughing at what you all call protesting. Inasmuch as we a still in Iraq and Afghanistan 10 years after 9/11 shows how little political and societal effect your generation's "protests" have done.

In the 60s they rebelled for what has turned out to be no good reason. We now prop up communist countries by sending them our jobs and giving them total access to our markets...and going into debt with them. Once they shaved and went corporate, the hippies began giving the country away bit by bit to China. Everything you turn over is made in China, Vietnam, or some other oppressed country.

In the end, human rights don't really matter to hippies and protesters. They just don't want war to stop oppression because war is bad. It's better to have the people in those countries oppressed and to ruin our economy by going into debt to them and sending them all of our manufacturing jobs and whatnot.

It's a fair trade off to them for not having wars...and, far enough away so that the old hippie and young protester can sit at Starbucks half a globe away, sip their lattes, and pretend the oppression isn't happening.

Note: I love how easy it is to come into the non-sports forum every now and then and draw everyone offside. It's almost too easy, and I should be ashamed of myself for doing it. But, I got to work in midgets and ostrich farting along the way, so I'm not as ashamed as I should be. Sorry.

Well, aren't you the sanctimonious one these days?

I think you are trying to cover yourself after starting this "holier than thou" rant of yours about Baby Boomers with your little end note. Just sayin..... :notfair:
