THEIR FREE SEX, THEIR PILL, THEIR SELFISHNESS AND DOPE, THEIR ROCK AND ROLL AND DRUGS, THEIR VACATIONS, AND ABORTIONS, AND BIG HOUSES WITH NO CHILDREN. I KNOW MANY WITH NO FAMILY LEFT BEHIND TO CARRY ON THE FATHERS NAME, AND WHOSE HERITAGE AND FUTURE GENERATION HAS DISAPPEARED FOREVER. THEIR FAMILY LINEAGE LOST FOREVER BECAUSE OF THE PILL AND BIRTH CONTROL!!!! THEIR LOINS NEVER GAVE BIRTH OR HAD VERY FEW CHILDREN. JUST IMAGINE WHAT THIS NATION WOULD BE LIKE TODAY IF IT WASNT FOR BIRTH CONTROL AND THE DESTRUCTION OF MARRIAGE AS AN PERMANENT PROMISE. THEIR CHILDREN WOULD HAVE INHERITED THE LAND NOT THE IMMIGRANTS YOU SEE TODAY! IT IS NO WONDER WHY TODAY WE HAVE SEEN SO MANY IMMIGRANTS WHO HAVE COME TO STAY IN OUR COUNTRY. THEY ARE HERE TO FILL THE VOID THAT BOOMERS HAVE BROUGHT UPON THEMSELVES!! IT IS QUITE A DIFFERENT NATION NOW. ITS TOO LATE, THEY HAVE LOST THE NATION AND GODS LAWS ARE JUST WHEN HE SAYS THE HUMBLE SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH. BABY BOOMERS HAVE DESTROYED THE HERITAGE OF THIS NATION AND DONT EVEN KNOW IT.

The only solution is to stop spending on war and to let the big banks fail and stop all the ensuing bailouts.

Google Generation Jones, and you’ll see it’s gotten a ton of media attention, and many top commentators from many top publications and networks (Washington Post, Time magazine, NBC, Newsweek, ABC, etc.) now specifically use this term.

Generations are a function of the common formative experiences of its members, not the fertility rates of its parents. And most analysts now see generations as shorter (usually 10-15 years), partly because of the acceleration of culture.

Everyone of them EXPECTED a new Camaro for their 16th birthday and went into meltdown if they didn't get it. IMHO if we hadn't wasted our earned income catering to these whiners giving them "everything that we didn't have" then we wouldn't need social security. But, That's just my thoughts on the matter.

That's about the bottom line of it all. I think the only way for the economy to survive is to cut spending for war, but that will never happen because war makes money for the ultra-rich.

I personally do not like abortion, but can you imagine if all those people were added to the unemployment burden today? It's already becoming a living hell.

Then what? Do the rest of us younger people just die off so that old people can retire in Vegas (lol,Vegas is dead anyhow). We already have too many people unemployed.

If you are wealthy enough you don't get social security. That's all there is to it. The protests are so obvious... "But I earned that money!" "Why should some jerk who didn't work as hard as me get my money!" The answer is that all Americans owe part of their success to the country itself, to the protection of the military, to the roads and infrastructure, to the schools, to the technology, to the safety. Those who have done well should be happy they have the money to help the less fortunate. This is what it really means to be a patriot and love your fellow countrymen.

I don't mind welfare but welfare for life when our country is going bankruptcy is something all together different. Just think about the money we could save if every boomer who "really" didn't need the check not take it. Maybe we can just start there.
