Shoot "Generation X," is nothing but hereditary.
With the new generation paying the bill, for the messed
up mistakes of the last generation.

Yeah I had a 9 month relation with a Korean-Korean woman and just now started dating a Korean-American woman. Euro-AmerWomen are OUT.

When the term Generation X first came into use, I heard in the media that it represented the tenth generation since the American Revolution in 1776.

what happens when we get to Gen Z? And will anyone admit it once we do?

" The most telling moment for me was when I (out of habit and training) opened a restaurant door for my date who suddenly said, "Don't you think I'm smart enough to open a door for myself?"....wow."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

One question-----was this particular person "smart enough" to help pick up the tab?

This description is why I get so mad that I (born in 1973) am termed "Generation X". I read Generation X. A lot of the things that should be my memories are things I was too little to remember. But, I am sure my 42 year old neighbor does.

Same here (born in '76). I came in at the tail end of the time period generally assigned to the X'ers, but I identify more with the GenY crowd, as I was too young to remember the 70's. So mark me down as generationally confused!

Hi, from MD. Sorry for belated reply; I was on "vacation" over the weekend.

"So, it's the Baby Boomer's fault that kids today are messed up!"

No, in reality, it's their parents -- the ones who voted FDR into office.

FDR proclaimed a vision that gov't could solve everything. And those people who voted for him ushered in the modern age of socialism in America.

The Boomer generation was divided, as the stats above show. Even if the majority is like their parents and many even like their grandparents, too many of them consume more than they produce.
