The U.S. is no longer one of the 20 happiest countries. If you're young, you probably know why.

Americans over 60 are some of the world’s happiest, while those under 30 are among the most miserable in the developed world.

They, and we who are in our 50's, grew up in an America that was pretty damned free. I feel sorry for kids now, growing up under an unfolding WEF dictatorship.

Nixon had to take us off the gold standard because LBJ had printed way too much currency so he could fight his Vietnam war and build his “Great Society.” DeGaul figured it out and bought up dollars to convert them into gold.

OK, Boomer.

No, I am not over 60. No, my parents were most definitely NOT hippies. And obviously, not ALL Boomers are the problem.

But the fact is that they have been running the show for decades, and there is no question that they have, on the whole, enjoyed a far better life than the generations that have followed.

That is what this survey is saying, whether you like it or not, and whether or not you personally had anything to do with the corruption, hypocrisy, and selfishness that epitomizes much of the Boomer generation.

Don’t play many videogames now bud, got a business to run. Have a degree in history too so I’m very familiar with all the events and trends that have led us to this point.

Then you should be able to show me on this doll three places those evil boomers touched you.

former Hippies.

The idea that everyone over 60 is a former hippie is stupid, ignorant, and wrong.

there’s nothing in the Constitution saying government should run the schools,

Check your State Constitution ... you'll most likely be surprised by what sort of crap you find in it.

I never said that anyone over 60 is a hippie. It’s like terrorists: not every muslim is a terrorist, but almost every damned terrorist is a muslim.

You wrote: "Americans over 60… a.k.a. Boomers, a.k.a. former Hippies."

That's a direct quote from you, little boy. Own it.

It's also a lie.

Your attempted walk-back is just as dishonest, but more or less what one should expect from a brainwashed government school product who's addicted to network television.

Yeah, ok. I wasn’t waking anything back. How about this: Vietnam!

Now give us endless whining and whinging about it. Go ahead. It’s one of the defining characteristics of your generation. Never has any group of men pissed and moaned more about a war than the Vietnam vets.

Flame away. As if I care.

You have clearly gone completely off your rocker.

Stop it.

Get some help.

Look, this started because I simply made the observation that people over 60 are Boomers. Then some guy posted "FU" to me. I responded, and then you and someone else jumped in and went after me as well. So I responded with remarks intended to annoy you all, and I clearly did.

I don't need help. I'm not the one who got all bent out of shape. But if someone is going to attack me, then I'll keep poking and annoying them as they get even more unhinged in their responses.

Americans over 60… a.k.a. Boomers, a.k.a. former Hippies.

That is a direct quote from you. Those are your own words, which you posted on FR.

You, yourself, under no duress, equated "Americans over 60" with "former Hippies".

That was your first lie.

Now you deny doing it. That's your second lie.

Doubling down on your lies is a characteristic of a leftist.

How many more lies are you going to post under the guise of being deliberately an annoying person? Are you even capable of posting truth?

You seriously need to get some help.

It was a lie to say that hippies were Boomers? Really?

You might want to look up the definition of "lie".

But hey, if it feels good, do it. I'm not "lying" about anything, and I'm certainly not a leftist.

"You seriously need to get some help". Spoken like someone who has no actual argument. Whatever, I'm done with you and your cranky nonsense.
