"Most certainly DID NOT refer to you as anything!! Show me the post. I was posting to Limauddad."

Your post #7. You referred to the current coming-of-age generation as the MTV pinhead generation. Since I'm 20, I happen to be in this generation.

Perhaps I overreacted, but I've seen post after post on FR insulting towards people my age, who are actually some of the most conservative people around. In high school, back when I was a liberal, I was the only lib--everyone else I knew was a conservative. This was especially true in my AP Government class. I'm at university now, and after taking a Global Studies class with one of the most liberal professors around, he had more students debating his ideas than he did agreeing with them. There's also another FR poster here, in high school, who set up a "High School Students for Bush" club. 325~ members, versus 20 in the HSS for Kerry club. We are most certainly not pinheads.

If somebody could "speak" or "relate" to the MTV pinhead generation, wouldn't you have to be a little non-serious?
Unlike the Kerry daughters are "serious" bores.

As I suspected! Self-association! I didn't lump YOU (an apparently intelligent young conservative) in with the "MTV pinhead generation." You did!

Shame on you for being offended!

Seriously, my language is very specific. If you are not a pinhead, then you are not in the non-serious MTV pinhead generation. I am in what I consider the real MTV generation, bout double your age, but it has nothing to do with the current "pinhead MTV gen." WhEW! Worse than diagramming sentences ! Weeeeeee!

You were not the point of my post. I unnerstand you're still young enough to think you're the center of attention, but I wasn't even aware of you. What I was saying was that, of the non-serious people such as the current pinheads (young punk liberal kids), you would expect that something that reaches them would be non-serious (Jenna and Barb's standup). I was defending the girls, in that their silliness surely appealed to some that might not find any way to relate to stuffy Repubs like Bill Frist, for example.

In summary, I've got twice the years and twice the HOT AIR on you!!! Don't be too galldang serious for crying out loud, though. I mean if you plan to make it past 21 on FreeRepub, you're going to need thicker skin!
