Now THAT kinda talk should definitely be bannable...I mean what if children are reading this? C'mon mods do your duty.

Pretty sure it was in a basement thread, probably one about generation discussion. Dont care enough to look it up, but Im sure somebody else remembers it.

The only consistent thing around here is the lack of consistency. But there hasn't been a ban handed out in quite a while.

Just received a thread ban notice...then it lets me back on...what gives Justine?

Most prosperous generation, $17 trillion in debt.

You must be talking about your generation as you voted for the doubling down of the debt TWICE.

Sleeper has been inartistic in his comments, but that shouldn't make this go to the basement - and I'll try not to move this to the politics board.

The millennial generation will not have the same lifestyle that the Boomers enjoyed. Concepts such as "retirement" and "pensions" are a Boomer phenomenon based off of the post WWII economy. That isn't a judgment, and I'm not judging anyone here - I'm simply stating a fact. To the extent that creates friction inter-generationally that is a challenge for us. In my career I've found our leaders to be very short-sighted and not properly focused on sustainability. That affects everyone because to the extent the Boomers expect their retirement pensions and social security payments - the money is going to have to come from younger workers. Where else is it going to originate?

Wrong. I never brought up "boomers" or initially ripped on his generation. I'm not a boomer but I do find it humerous that the "slacker/I should be making millions right out of college because I saw it on MTV Cribs" generation would rip on anyone. I was just making a general comment and he ran with it.

Count me as one of those who think millennials suffer from entitlement issues. For the record, I'm on the Gen X/Gen Y border.

"Count me as one of those who think millennials suffer from entitlement issues."

I can see that, the difference is their entitlement issues aren't codified into law and the result of trillions of dollars of unfunded liabilities.

Gawd...for the umpteenth time, this is a political thing not a generational thing. "Retirement and pensions" are not a "boomer" thing, no matter how many times you and sleeper repeat the lie.
Socuial security was born long before the boomers...expanded and tweeked long before the boomers...and the boomers paid for their parent's generation and are only just beginning to see any 'benefits' from their working career length taxation that they have endured.

And to what end? More debt, more ponzi schemes, etc.? Isn't that part of the problem?

Again not to take this to the political board but I find it interesting to see Boomer's criticize Big Government yet insist on reaping the benefits. At some point there is going to be a sacrifice.

As a corollary to above, I just learned that the Boomer judge that wrote my letter of recommendation to the bar just got suspended and may have a year off due to malfeasance...was there something in the water that happened to people in that era? Is it that difficult to be normal?

I don't any of my generation that thinks they should be millionaires right out of college.

Of all the young people I know, I only know of 1 person who has his masters who refuses to get a job unless its the 'perfect' job. The notion that my generation is entitled because we expect a job that pays a little more than our monthly student loan debt is asinine. I posted an article on the OC a few months back that showed that MY generation is saving more than the boomers ever did. We've watched our boomer parents make reckless financial decisions and hope to avoid those in the future.

Right because Romney would have slashed the debt to zero. My generation vehemently supported Ron Paul and his fiscal restraint as well as the libertarian Gary Johnson.

I still find it funny that millennials are to blame for 17 trillion in debt when the majority of the generation isn't even 18 yet. LOL

This is better.

Maybe a select few "edumacated" supported Paul and Johnson but voting stats prove 20s & 30s overwhelmingly voted straight Democratic tickets for the handouts. You can't have it both ways Sleepy...while you and some of your frat buddies from OSU might indeed have good jobs that daddy most likely helped you get...the majority of your whiney ass generation is sitting around on the couch playing x-box waiting for the first of the month check.

Again, I don't know anyone who fits your description of my generation nor do I think any of the above is unique to my generation only.
