WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.

-
I am 71. When I was about 10 years old, I was allowed to walk all the way downtown to Martin's Hobby Shop (about a mile each way) to spend birthday or Christmas money on airplane models. Would you let a 10-year-old do that now? And @go-fish, I don't think Mark was being arrogant or suggesting that his generation is better than any other, I think he was simply stating some facts of things he fondly remembers about growing up when he did. And by-the-way, @Mark Wainwright, you forgot to mention that walking to school was uphill both ways.


Against the wind both ways too....

Thanks Harriosnm. I turn 73 in 2 weeks and I've seen a lot but also missed a lot and thank goodness I did in places. I'm sure in some way our parents and grandparents have said the same thing in some way or the other. If our parents came back to see how the world has changed they'd be blown away. You can talk and see each other on a portable phone? Teachers only have 20 students per class? Why in my day LOL We've all heard that phrase
 
Now you don't let your kids out of your sight for fear of something happening to them. Over protective? Yes we are but have to be because of all the phycos walking around today. Seems everywhere you turn someone is getting shot or stabbed especially in Toronto, it's really bad. It's more drug and territorial gang wars but these assholes just let the bullets fly while running and shooting behind them. So many innocent people have been badly wounded or shot dead. We just lost a 14 year old kid in Toronto while he was walking with his mom and got hit by a stray bullet. Poor little guy didn't stand a chance. Put all these assholes out in a field and let them go at and the last man standing is the winner. Who cares!! Sorry for being blunt. Your gun situation is a lot worse than ours sadly with school shootings and people going postal on fellow workers and running crowds of innocent people down. As you can tell I'm not a gun person but to each his own.
 
@harrisonm I should have been more specific. I was referring to Gilbert regarding the arrogance.
"Strong men create good time".......you mean like Hitler??? Now he was arrogant!!!! Better to be arrogant than insulting, I mean you are from Cali??:poke:

I don't get what you are trying to say. Hitler was arrogant and it's better to be arrogant? Like Hitler? You must think so because you are awfully arrogant and attempt to be insulting. You are confused, strong men have humility. You, Gilbert, have the hubris of someone that has not earned their pride.

I am FROM Oklahoma. I was a resident of Mississippi longer than California. Lived overseas too. I'm moving to Texas in a few months. Watch out! I have served my country selflessly for 20 years and do not go after someone because of the State they live in. That's childish. It's sad when 60/70 year old men are childish, Gilbert.

"Strong men create good time"
..... American men and women of the 1940's. They were the strong that created the good times which bread weak men. Which led us into the times we're in now. I am not saying all Boomers are weak just as today we have some strong men and women and I am not a fan of lumping everyone in together. That's just like any other form of bigotry. You would get that though. You are from Texas. :poke:

I don't care where you live .......you insulted me first!!! Get your story straight, go back and read my first post in this thread. I never said anything about you??? To insult someone without knowing them is childish and shows your lack of intelligence, if you were in the military, like I was, you would know that!!!
 
Nobody said we were special, even though we were.

That is arrogance. I did not attack you. I called you out for being what you are.
How old are you? 60? 70? Quit acting like a child.
 
Dates have changed, Technology has changed. Humans, good, bad, or other wise have not. The difference from when we grew up is not the difference in the attitude or entitlement it was always there. But when you double, triple, ten fold the population you multiply the good and bad the same. As far as an easier life, don’t think so. The wages keep going up so the cost of everything keeps going up still takes the same amount of work to produce a living. Weather a litre of gas is .25 and you make $4.00hr or litre gas is $1.60 and you make $40.00hr. Times are not easier just different

100%.

I would also say it may be harder to be a parent these days. If you are worldly and materialistic, maybe a little arrogant, you think it's easier due to all the advancement these days. However, there are evils that are blatant like never before. The marketing of gay culture, trans culture, government coming after our kids with experimental vaccines. Normalization of pedophilia.

Money might not be as tight as it was in the Greatest Generation or Baby Boomer Generations but the evil is Out. Of. Control.

We were special........everyone is special. Calling me arrogant is like me saying that you are ignorant!! But I didn't call you ignorant, I didn't call you anything. You can copy paste any insult I hurled at you.....you won't find one. I could easily say that you are stupid, ignorant and retarded.......but I don't know you so I won't say those things about you. By the way, thank you for your service........and that is not an insult!!
 
Every generation is a generation that will never come back. The only constant is change. Yours was different than the one before yours, and that generation said they same thing about your generation.
The new generation are a bunch of spoiled and entitled **** for brains pussies
 
"The marketing of gay culture, trans culture, government coming after our kids with experimental vaccines. Normalization of pedophilia."

Now I see where this is going!! I have never in my lifetime heard that pedophilia was being normalized!!! NEVER, EVER!! Where did you hear that, from an alien space station?? In Texas we deal with pedophilia with death to the perp. I thought you said that you were in the military for 20 years??? Military doctrine accepts gays and trans people, which military were you in??

You and me think a lot alike!! I have never allowed my daughter to be alone outside. She played with her friends and I was there all the time. I never allowed her to be alone outside....too many psychos. I googled child molesters in my area and got so many hits that it was unbelievable. I live in Texas so I can carry a gun (open carry) all day long. I can even carry my loaded assault weapon all day long. We're also allowed to carry any length knife (no limit). So I'm not bothered by anyone or anything, if they are on my property (or if they try to assault me) they are fair game!!!!
 
Give people enough choices to veer off...and they will. The idea of a nation of like minded individuals goes out the window.
I wonder...if deer disfigured themselves because they felt like they're all the same ...
Maybe elephants could start fornicating horses if they were tired of the usual big boned female elephants... why do we have nature preserves...then promote veering from it to change sexual identity and mutilate genitelia... see?

Why save the whales
Why worry about climate change...

...if "change" is drooling out one side of a politicians mouth while the other peaks of saving and preserving...

What mental capacity/state does one need to think that way?

Look around at the very selective preservation going on...

May as well be whatever Soros decides for breakfast and feels like for a snack...
It's someone's personal preference in other words.
 
The pendulum swings. Right now its swinging pretty far in one direction. It will continue to swing until enough people say enough. Then it will swing the other way. Either extreme is unpleasant. Never thought it would swing this fast in my lifetime though.
 
Humans are arrogant, they think intelligence can trump natures design...

The human will out think himself into an early grave.

A Virginia college professor set off a firestorm about pedophilia

California Assembly passes bill allowing some pedophiles to not register as sex offenders, with stipulation
The revision of the bill would allow pedophiles to not be registered on the sex offender list as long as they are not 10 years older than the minor they were convicted of molesting.

'Lawn Boy': Texas mom says son found book about 4th graders' sex in school library
The book in question is ‘Lawn Boy’ by Jonathan Evison. Washington Post’s review of the book describes it as “a semi-autobiographical tale spiked with angst and anger, but also full of humor and lots of hope.” At a September 9 school board meeting, a parent described the content of the book as depraved and likened some passages to pedophilia.

I thought you said that you were in the military for 20 years??? Military doctrine accepts gays and trans people, which military were you in??

I didn't say how long I was in the military but thank you for your service as well. I pray you were in during peace time. I was in the military for nine years. Along with many others I joined immediately after 9/11 out of a sense of duty to the land that gave me so much. I got out and now fight wildfires across the western U.S. for the US Forest Service. Like the military it is a job that not many in this country can do or even want to do but it is vital to saving entire communities from devastation. I am gone for up to 21 days at a moments notice. Supposed to go to a kid's ball game or Boy Scout meeting tonight? Nope. Got to go fight a fire in Arizona, Utah, Oregon .... Our ranks are filled with many young firefighters that were born after 9/11 that have respect and pride for their country. All is not lost.

When I was in Iraq in 2010 we had to do a survey from Obama himself. It was about accepting gay and trans in the ranks. I decided right then and there that I would not be continuing to serve in the military. Since Obama wrecked the military ranks it has become everything you Boomers have said about this generation. It was a place that was almost a refuge. A person could exist in an environment with good moral character, discipline, respect. Now it's diversity and inclusion. Trans friendly and weak.

My position is this: I understand that there are more pansies than ever before. Like was stated before, the ratio has grown, especially due to population growth.
Please think about it though. Don't hold your own generation in such high regard when it is the one that set the table. The 60's Love Child went on to be a teacher, politician, District Attorney, judge, School Administrator.
The 70's burnout went on to have kids in the 80's and 90's and let video games and cable television raise their kids instead of being responsible parents. Now we have those kids as parents and a lot of them have blinders on or have bought into a doctrine that was sold to them by a touchy feely Baby Boomer educator.

You people who are old enough to be grandparents are on the sidelines now. Myself and a lot of fellow parents are fighting back against self entitlement, overbearing governments, and dangerous doctrines being taught in public schools

I don't wish to buy into the "Generation" tribalism. We all have to live in this world of immorality. Some of us are just older and closer to death. Some of us are in the trenches trying to fight for kids.

You older guys that are bitching about the youth, what are you doing about it? Anyone volunteer? Invite the neighbor kid over to teach him about cars (because his Dad probably isn't doing it)? Any hunters that foster good firearms handling and marksmanship? Any horsemen? Visit an orphanage lately? Or, are you just sitting around bitching?

Have you killed them all yet, Big Fella?
If one attempts to approach my daugher they won't live long!!! I have no sympathy for any psycho that approaches my daughter. What would you do, give them a sloppy kiss??
 
"Strong men create good time".......you mean like Hitler??? Now he was arrogant!!!! Better to be arrogant than insulting, I mean you are from Cali??:poke:
He created one of the most prosperous times in German history. You cannot argue that. Now the reasons he did it were despicable.
