I DO NOT...........and we did have cologne. See, we all generalize, even when joking. Now go to your room, you little whipper snapper....
did i tell you how great you look in those new orthopetic shoes deb? oh....and i recorded 'matlock' and 'murder she wrote' for you......and i was sure to not spill grape soda on your couch.....even though you have plastic on them anyways and thanks for that $12 check for my birthday
The man later went on to say "You damn kids think you're so smart with your Boombox radios, acid washed jeans and long sideburns."
grandkids raise the roof!!! haha my grandma rocked....she used to hide 1.50 for me every week to get ice cream at lunch in highschool......she was the bomb
rockers from the 80s smell like leather and hooker perfume....but i didnt see anyone getting personal with YOU pagan
Well I can tell you one thing. The old man didn't invent the internet. Al Gore did And Rafael I thought that went without saying? Nice picture pagan, got the message loud and clear.
i agree with griddles completely. every generation has its rotten eggs, but every generation has gems. the young will rebel against the rules of their parents, and the cycle will go on. its human nature. if the youth didn't rebel and try to do something different, there would be no inventions at all. when you disagree, you seek to prove your own point, and look for facts to back it up. that research leads to developments. kids didn't want to read their parents 'boring' still-framed comics, so they got inspired to make moving pictures, thus the birth of animation and eventually tv kids didn't want to be stuck on this darn planet of their parents, so they flew to the moon i don't take offense to this cartoon as today's youth, because it is in jest. especially beause I don't like to be lumped in with dane cook and dane cook-looking people haha. (anyone see him on conan last night? awful!) so yea, life goes on, thanks for the laugh pagan
I DO NOT wear orthopadic shoes either, I have Sketchers, thank you very much. Now, you stop the lying boy. You know that check was more than $12. I don't like Matlock or Murder she Wrote. How about some Laugh In, Solid Gold. I could give you a big list, but I know how busy you are making up your stories. I also never have grape soda, only Pepsi. What IS wrong with you??
No plastic. I just make who ever spills anything clean it up. Then I lysol it. I know your joking around.
Everything the story lists has been around for more than one generation. There is nothing in the story that says the conversation happened recently involving a youth from the current generation. It's a great little tale which I belive is more allegory than an actual event. A nice way to illustrate the divide between past and new generations.
Baby-Boomers. The most selfish, wasteful, destructive generation of all time...and they don't even have the the wisdom to actually give the next generations a chance to develop and grow into their potential. and clean up their mess.
BTW Pagan, can you please stop posting these kind of threads that get everyone all heated and go back to posting motivation posters please? Threads like these don't help me get through the work day. Thanks!
22 and yelling at people to get off your lawn, is differently something to be proud of. What's next, a crazy night out at bingo capped with a bowl of farina?
Working will help you get through the work day.... Oh wait, that's not the American work ethic we love....................
Which was it's intent...before the younger generation went and proved the point of the original post by immediately getting all defensive about it.
you're right, they probably didn't invent much at 18, they were too busy saving the world from the Nazi's. then those who weren't killed returned home, worked their collective arses off, and fueled an economy that allowed for all those neat inventions mentioned above to be created, and sold cheaply, that it created enough generational wealth that the 18 year old's mommy and daddy could afford to buy them all for that punk.
And, its also possible, if this were a real situation, the old guy did none of this and just got out of prison. Generation talk, in terms of better or worst, is stupid. I mean this allegory would be equally brilliant if it ended with... "...so the young man left. It was then the old man realized, he was alone and there was no one around to open his jar of marmalade for him."
And 18 year olds today aren't being shipped away to Iraq or other countries? There's always going to be war and I don't see why anyone can use this as an excuse.
