A whole silly article and 85 comments from lefty readers, and it never occurs to a single one of them that maybe wisdom may be correlated with age and experience.

Young and gullible.

Wait until they figure out they've been played for fools.

They even made a movie about this - It’s called “Idiocracy”

Expect to hear more and more of this stuff, along with “old folks cost a lot in health care, and old folks are hoarding all the money in their retirement accounts, etc.”. Pretty soon euthanasia will be mandatory once someone hits 70.

This article shows the effectiveness of brainwashing in the school system. Naturally they believe it. It has been pounded into their heads throughout their entire lives via the education system.

A friend of mine told me that his classmate became a Federal Judge. He still believed that the atom couldn’t be split, even after the nuclear bomb era. Why? He was taught that in school. He believed it until the day he died.

There's long been talk about how gay rights will continue to advance as homophobic old codgers die off.

Like the way they've advanced on the campus of Penn State, right?

Instead of sitting around waiting for people to die, gutless hispters, why don't you put down your iPhones, get off your asses and come get all of us wrong thinking folks. Otherwise, shut you dependent traps and get a f***ing job.

As a member of the so-called "silent generation" I simply cannot bring myself to delude myself with the extreme, fraudulent and pharsical and never ending diatribe of purely delusional thinking that makes up the Pagan Religion the lawyers and educators (indoctrineators) have deluded our children with!!!

When you boil it all down to the infectious pile of puss that makes up these myths everyone who is honest will realize that all these fractured fairy tales do is make everything cost more that even the wealthiest nation on earth can long afford!!!

All the Pew poll is doing is pushing further compliance to even further delude the poor Gen X an Y with the motivation of group think and fear!!!

It is probably far too late to turn back from the suicidal course the country has taken.

The government schools have had a lot of success in brainwashing students for the last 45 years or so and inculcating these ideas and beliefs:

Coming soon: Government approved Sex with children

The X and Y were indoctrinated, the oldsters were educated.

Couple of high school kids going through our neighborhood doing a survey on recycling for a school project. After introductions I informed them my generation used cloth diapers not disposable ones, used Tupperware for storage, not plastic bags or plastic wrap and passed our solid wood furniture down from generation to generation. They politely said thank you and left.

...and to believe climate change is happening and is caused by human activity...

Well, they can "believe" whatever they want. If their beliefs were based on verifiable facts (not doctored, cherry-picked data and outright lies) then they would "know" rather than simply "believe."

Marxists tell them that people over 30 don’t know anything.

The gen x and gen y ers have been totally brainwashed....Carter didn’t get DOE in time to totally dumb down the people over 65 years of age. They weren’t able to get them in their formative years and brainwash them.

They can still use logic and reason and understand (real) science.

You have a group of people who say ‘up is down’ ‘there is no morality in sex acts—just like the pagans believed’ and they actually believe it, because of the cognitive dissonance in the public schools which destroys logic.

I wish I saved my email but about a year ago, a family member sent me a funny one about older Americans being the first “conservationists”. For example, they walked to school, they dried their clothes on a line, used cloth diapers on their kids, and fixed or recycled everything. Old clothes were made into throw rugs if they couldn’t be mended. Leaves were raked by hand (nothing gas powered) and many lawns mown by push mowers. The list went on and on.... so, older Americans were WAY more friendly to the environment than these youngsters.

I call B.S. When I was a kid in the 60’s, factories could spew all manner of toxic crap into the water and air. The Naugatuck river used to flow orange and yellow regularly. You would often see yellow and green smoke spewing from the various rubber, chemical and metal based factories. Car and truck emissions were nearly unregulated. Garbage on the side of the road was a common sight. And all this was in a little ‘burg in Connecticut.

The boomer generation did the real heavy lifting of cleaning up America. Gen X and Y are the “Me Too” generations trying to lay claim to the success in the face of rapidly diminishing returns on effort and investment. Universally, they are championing causes with dubious or negligible results, but with immense price tags attached.

Pollution controls are asymptotic, kiddees. Drop the Chicken Little act and enjoy the world you have inherited.
