When the dust clears, the baby boomer generation, the idiot TV generation, is going to be remembered as the corruption of modern society.

These sad sacks had the misfortune to exist between reading books and the internet. I suspect that there will never be another generation as stupid as they are, due to the outrageous ignorance brought on by the power of television propaganda in the absence of available reading material.

But what the baby boomers have done now..... it beggars belief. They have already saddled their children with crippling debt in order to retire at the age of 33 with 8 million in the bank, three holiday homes and five jetskis. And that is for the window cleaners.

Now they are trying to pay for the phoney wealth they stole with MORE schemes to steal from their children. But at the end of the day.... it is just a bunch of laws. It isn't real.

The way I see it, the baby boomers have lived beyond their means, both materially and intellectually, but they have not created anything real. Just a bunch of tax laws and paper money that can be repealed and made worthless in a single sitting of parliament.
Sadly a lot of the above is true, although it doesn't apply to all baby boomers, but the selfishness of them generally leaves their children with very little. The BB's have had the best of everything - free tertiary education, excellent & easy job prospects, cheap real estate when they were ready to start families, first class educational facilities etc. - in fact everything was laid out on a plate for them.

During the period when the BB's could have achieved so much - they have grasped the best, ravaged it and spat it out. I don't say this lightly being a BB myself, but I've seen how gluttonous and materialistic much of my generation is.

Perhaps it could be because we were raised by Dr. Spock, who gave such radical advice on how to raise children - in fact so radical his own son committed suicide. But there has to be some reason why this particular generation is so self centred.

Incidentally, you creepy fuckwad, "so much verbiage" strikes me as a bit of a tautology.

Do you want to keep that out of your snide, creepy comments?

Seriously, who the fuck are you to start criticizing anyone?

What makes you so good? Did your mom tell you that you were just the smartest little guy in the room?

What is it? As far as I can tell, you sell home brew kits in Adelaide and make fruit butter.

Say something and impress me, you fucking arrogant snob. SAY SOMETHING.

Then act like you are the judge of all that is wise.

You got that right.

You are not Solomon. You are going broke selling beer to Aussies in a low tax environment.

If your bullshit can be believed for a few moments.

Yeah, well, that is how it is when folks start using acronyms willy nilly. Starts out being a bit of fun, but soon they can't control it.

Soon they start leaving v's lying around all over the place, and embarrassing their peers.

Then where the fuck are you?

HEY?

Exactly. So stop it.

Don't grovel, don't beg. Just STOP.
