Q, since so many of your friends are so messed up because their parents were messed up, upon whom do you place the blame for those parents being that way?

That's a good question

I have always wondered how a generation like the WWII could produce such a monster as the baby boomers. My personal hypothesis is the WWII generation isn't very adaptable to change and new things (Just look how they can't phathom how to work a VCR while a even 4 year old can) which at the time they were raising the baby boomers the world was under going great change which they were simply unable to cope with and change their parental skills to match the time so the baby boomers just ran wild on them.

Either that or all the Atomic testing that happened during the 40's & 50's screw them up in the womb

You know, you and the other cry babies on this thread have done me a real favor. It's good to know well in advance what many of you children have in mind for us when we, as one of you so bravely put, get too weak. (of course you will have to wait a long long time before you can face us on even ground) I've never joined anything in my life, most of my friends haven't either. We've never hated another group before either, except the islamist killers. We certainly don't fear any group of ranting whiners who feel they have to wait for our eventual infirmity to act against us.

What you and some of the other kids have shown here tonight is a truly pathetic bout of poor me, the big bad people over there are responsible for everything wrong, everything bad, every reason why I can't grow up and stop this embarassing self pity. You people are supposed to be adults by now. Your behaviour is remarkably adolescent.

Even though you say that your sense of victimhood is common for your age group I don't believe it. I know too many in their 20s and 30s who are real adults and are focused on living like adults and moving forward. Maybe it's just you and your circle who are effed up and looking for someone to blame.

If I knew your parents I would feel as embarassed for them as I do sorry for you. Or, maybe I'd feel they got exactly the kind of kids they deserved. Either way, good luck working things out.
