August 21, 2009 at 9:23 AM #447463afx114ParticipantCould it be that the greatest generation came home from the horrors of war and never wanted their children to go without in this world? The result of which is generation of spoiled, me-me-me baby boomers who we still have the hear about how great they are every 5 year anniversary of Woodstock. This from a generation of people who brought us a society in which the majority of friends I grew up with and know today came from a broken home and were raised by selfish and greedy fiends of consumption? And you wonder why the kids of today are so fucked up? Perhaps the parents should look in the mirror.
Fuck the baby boomers and the selfish world they have left us.

August 21, 2009 at 9:25 AM #447448Allan from FallbrookParticipantTG: Good post and very insightful. While I’m the first one to join Cabal in railing against militant feminism (note the use of the word “militant”, ladies, before you jump me), the petulance of the Baby Boomer generation and the general “Pussification” of America, I also realize that sweeping generalizations are exactly that.
Was it Tolstoy that said happy families are all alike and unhappy families are each unique in their unhappiness? I believe that’s true and each situation springs from it’s own problems.
However, I’ll also say that for each of those nuclear 1950s families that might have contained abuse, there were strong marriages, too, and each having a husband and wife committed to each other and through thick and thin. My folks certainly weren’t Ozzie and Harriet, but they definitely loved each other and realized that marriage was work, commitment, and sacrifice.
Nowadays, we either medicate our problems away with the appropriately chosen Happy Pill or blame someone or something else for our misfortunes. If we’re not completely happy or satisfied 100% of the time, then either something’s wrong or someone’s to blame. That’s not life.
Stevie Nicks put it much better than I when she sang, “Sometimes it’s a bitch, sometimes it’s a breeze”. Ride out the hard times and enjoy the good ones.
