Ghot is a great insight into the minds of the baby boomer and i can completely understand how a single generation managed to almost destroy the world beyond fixing.




The baby boomers built this computer age world. The millennials wrecked it. :D

I've never liked categorizing people into generations. The cutoffs are arbitrary and the descriptions are vague and nebulous. Additionally, I think it unncessarily pits people against each other.

I think it's likely that one generation would behave very similarly or almost identically to another generation if born at the same time and exposed to the same sets of cultural factors and social experiences.

Problem is most of the boomers are still here and never evolved.

Well ofc. Except they aren't born at the same time and exposed to the same things.

Also every generation gets the same treatment. They are everything bad in the world until they get some money and power then the next generation gets the blame.

Every time I have addressed your behavior or posting style in pard it it is after you are addressing someone else's

You are not bullied and you are not a victimyou are an overly emotional hateful person that cannot take their own medicine

Don't like that my posts about you that are relevant? Don't make them relevant by attacking others.


100% spot on

ahhh the bad journalism starts. clickbaity title with a glorfied op-ed attached.

Trump's statement was a bit wordy, lavished a bit too much praise on Kim (generally), but in this concession he was spot on. we're stopping war games (a term they insinuate in the article was "straight out of the pyongyang playbook" :wacko: ) until they have shown they aren't going to cooperate with negotiations or continue negotiations. This concession isn't astonishing, to be honest it's a really good outcome in an array of outcomes we could have gotten from Kim and Trump alone in a room. We got nonspecific for 3/4 of the points in the press release, but this is basic diplomacy. You call a ceasefire and treat with your enemies unless they give you a reason to be aggressive again.

I agree tbh, Trump's statement wasn't out of the norm. I have to concede that he did better than I expected in the summit. No foot in mouth yet, which is a good thing. A +1 on his scoreboard.

If we wrecked it before we could turn 30 it was a fragile world to begin with.

You are the generation with power and representation. We are just now coming into our own. Dont blame the problems you caused on us. Take some personal responsibility.

Gotta say, my time working has taught me that the group who feels the most entitled is definitely the older generations. By a wide margin.
