I think my generation has handled things a hell of alot better than yours ever dreamed of...

Prove this.

so lose the condescension over your age and therefore implied wisdom.

So what's with the "grow up Bro" crap from your end? You started that condescension angle all by yourself. I was pointing it out to you. Is that the only thing to which you were capable of responding?

Now, since you are so much better prepared for life than I, how about answering my questions in a rational matter. Try to convince me that your view is correct, rather than attacking me personally. Of course, you'd have to do that leftest thing and attack me personally if you have no substance to discuss. Right?

The essense of political discussion is exchange of ideas. I don't see that you have attempted to do this in any of your posts. Explain how resonable compromise can be reached in this manner.

Perhaps your generation can't approach the issues after all.

Perhaps my generation has grown dismissive of blowhards attempting to lecture us on topics that my 5 year old nephew would instinctively reject.

Get a solid foundation to stand on and then we can give and take all day long. Kneejerk ramblings concerning pseudo jackbooted government stormtroopers riding metal horses and wiping their *** with the Constitution is not a solid foundation.

When I read your post (#151) calling VaBthang4 on the carpet, I knew straight off he'd come back with a non-sequitur response and completely ignore your well stated points. He's incapable of staying "on point."

And after reading more than half of this thread, it's clear that VaBthang4 is pure statist, tyrannist fodder. What a tool -- useful idiot.

From his profile page...

VaBthang4 is the arrogant looking "fellow" on the left. Put him in a brown shirt and he'd resemble Goebbels, or that NAZI guy in Raiders of the Lost Ark (you know, the guy who picked up the hot metal artifact and burned its design into the palm of his hand?)
