You have mistaken me for someone who believes you. I don't believe for one second that you're a college graduate let alone working on your master's. You wouldn't pass English 101.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

I see it is you who are threatening to call the mods.

Anybody who can read and comprehend the English language can clearly see it was you who first brought up calling the mods.

Can't handle the heat?

I'm not afraid for the mods to look at my posts.

And the day I can't handle the "heat" you blow off is the day I am dead and buried.

Ahem, you know, of course, that the members of that band, Generation X (most famous of which is a certain Mr. Idol) were all born in the 1950s. You knew that, right?

"On balance, the Boomer generation has been a disaster. They have undone most of the good work of their parents, the amazing WW2 generation."

Sounds good but it's totally untrue.

EACH generation has it's winners and it's losers.

The WWII Gen had it's share of losers.

Boomers have their share.

...and Gen X will have theirs.

Taking one single generation and painting it as the 'Perfect Generation' is...well....stupid.

I missed the meeting where all us boomers got together and decided to be slackers. Why doesn't anyone tell me these things?? I got years of slacking up to catch up on!

Don't fall for it, that band included Billy Idol. He's what, about 55?

You don't think you should defend your racist statements? Because you believe them, apparently.

I'm so glad to see that few freepers agree with your race baiting or your class envy. Pleases me immensely.

Oh, and while I've been gone - I went for a walk with my husband and then we sat on the veranda. Just thought you'd want to keep up with my activities since you seem to know my posting history and who my friends are. I'd be honored you pay that much attention, but given what kind of person you are...well, you can fill in the blanks.

I think the notable thing about the Boomers is that that generation's malcontents were never really punished. That's quite unusual, historically speaking.

ROFL. If we'd only known that instead of working and investing and making gobs of money we should have been slacking off. Dang it.

I know, I'm so embarrassed. (Do I dare mention I worked two jobs and went to school?? I was young - I needed the money!)

let alone working on your master's.

I agree; if you're trying to GET one, you ought to at least be able to SPELL it correctly, huh?

It is Master's, not Masters.

The view from my mansion is perfect. Of course, I did not contribute to my physician husband's income. I'm just a slacker who raised 4 wonderful and accomplished children. I married well!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Gosh, all this time we thought we were doing the responsible thing and what we were supposed to be doing was fulfilling some cretins class envious view of boomers.
