An Indictment Of The Worst Generation Ever!


The character "Ethan" is representative of the dismal future of humanity and he had no redeeming qualities.

Yeah, and even better they got away scot free with everything they did.

As if the past of humanity was just filled with redeeming character.

I don't think they're old enough to be millennials, as they're under eighteen. Millennials are around 18-35. These kids are Generation Z.

As for the Evils of Youth, people have been moaning about The Kids for since the dawn of humanity.

I changed the title, as per your instructions.

Destruction of the family through social movements such as feminsim, etc, bad parenting and the rise of technology makes it true this time. And it was probably true to a point every time. I'm 39 and I can easily see that my generation doesn't possess the character and integrity of my parents generation and we Gen Xs became parents and spawned today's garbage. The World can't afford for it to get worse. If you don't understand, go explore some YouTube videos about them. Those freaks cried like babies when Hillary Clinton lost... that's scary.

Because the election was a catastrophe for young people you douche.

I'm 28 and I couldn't agree more. There is probably yet another an "inter-generational" gap between you and I, and likewise between 18-year-olds and myself. I taught high school for three years in the UK, those kids were just ten years younger than me, but it was like dealing with people from a foreign culture; they are emboldened, desensitized, entitled, wantonly disrespectful and willfully ignorant. Aa a slightly controversial British historian said a few years ago "ADHD is not a condition; it describes a generation." - David Starky. Moreover, I think that though this generation wholeheartedly rejects Trump and Brexit, they are precisely what this generation needs, lest we fight another world war.

This movie isn't about baby boomers, though...

True, it's about the worst generation ever! You know, the one where females want to be men and relegate "boys" to femdom. The one where boys accept their woman-given role and stand right behind women weeping for every bleeding heart, liberal issue.

Suffering from the fabricated narratives of "white guilt", "patriarchy" and feeling ashamed of their mythical "white privilege". Truly disgusting, it is. But on the bright side the older generations are taking back control and standing these Millennials in a corner.

The new age of adulthood should be changed from 18 to 30, in these sad times.

Boomers are the worst generation. Ran up the debt then demanded their children and grandchildren pay for it.

reply

Yes, because the 2008 crash was caused by baby-boomers. LOL

reply

Yes, it was. Mellinials were not running Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers in 2008. The fact that you think Boomers weren't responsible is what is hilarious.

reply

Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns did not cause the global financial crisis; rather, they were victims of it. The crash was caused when a housing bubble, created by irresponsible lending, finally burst. The people who caused the crisis were young salesmen handing out mortgages like party balloons, young homeowners who had no business buying property, and the investment bankers dealing in shady financial instruments known as mortgage-backed securities. While "baby-boomers" set up the system which eventually collapsed, you cannot seriously believe that crisis itself was entirely the fault of people in their sixties.

reply

Very few millineals were buying more and bigger houses. Most were just starting their careers. Boomers created the housing bubble, the banks they ran created the NINA and NINJA loans and handed them out, and the investment banks they ran securitized them. So yeah, it was boomers, not some mortgage broker in his twenties. He's not offer NINA and NINJA loans unless the boomers at the banks are offering them to him. Please get real.

Aww. Poor guy. Have a cry because one day you might actually see a trans-person in the flesh! Oh the horror!

You can have whatever thoughts you want, but you whine and cry because people call you out on being an *beep*

Show me any proof that I'm afraid of gays, trans or whatever else you think you can accuse me of. My issue is with stuff that you're obviously oblivious to or are too corrupt to oppose. Things like trans demanding that you ask them what their pronouns are before referring to them or like male trans being able to choose the female restroom and vice versa. This is a sick world when lawmakers infringe on normal people's rights to accommodate a minority of abnormal people with mental disorders. It's akin to banning the color red, because it "triggers" females on their periods.

You can have whatever thoughts you want, but you whine and cry because people call you out on being an *beep*
What you call whining and crying is actually me telling the truth and that being inconvenient for you.

I don't mistreat anyone, but I do know right from wrong and you're wrong! And that's the way it will remain, until you pull your head out of your *beep*... or not.


It's Okay If You Disagree With Me, I Can't Force You To Be Right

The fact that you are so concerned what a tiny minority does in private is proof that you are afraid of them. That you want the government to oppress someone on your behalf just because they do things that you don't care for is proof that you are afraid. How often do you deal with trans-people in real life?

Poor you. Some trans-person might correct you in conversation. That is SO AWFUL. I cry for you! They, on the other hand, only have to worry about getting raped and murdered at a much higher than normal rate than cis people.

The whole bathroom thing is ridiculous. 8 months ago nobody even thought about it. Everyone pissed and shat in peace. Now all of a sudden it is the most dire emergency facing our country today!!! Even though there is like one case of assault by a cross dresser in like 20 years, it is treated like a pandemic.

You want trans-men, many who are indistinguishable from cis men, going into the Lady's room and trans-women, many who look as feminine or more so than cis women, into the Men's room. It is almost as if you want to paint them with targets so your bigot friends can attack them easier.

You bigots whining about PC culture are just mad that they can't call strangers f@ggots or ni**ers to their face anymore without people standing up to you.

Great post and thanks for standing up to this bigot.

No, dumb*beep*! Is it still unclear to you that I don't *beep*ing care what gays do in their own privacy. I've said this so many times and obviously you're cut off from reality because if you weren't you'd know that gays and trans are trying to bring their mental disorders out into the public. They want to force Christian churches to marry them or face criminal charges. They want to force service workers to serve their unholy unions or face criminal charges. That's my problem is that they are trying to change America. They're trying to brainwash the youth into seeing homo and trans as cool, trendy and natural. Is it clear to you yet or are you going to continue to straw man me? I'll repeat it one more time. I don't care what they do in their own privacy. Have you got that??? All I care about is the political agenda to glorify, glamorize and make homosexuality seem appealing to impressionable minds. You know... minds like yours. Now, have you got that straight???

I'm not even going to bother with the rest of your nonsense, because there are regressive libtards piled 20 deep behind you waiting to spout their idiotic opinions at me. You see, there's no shortage of you morons, you're like cock roaches in value and volume.

Oh, so now I get it, you're mentally retarded. I was trying to figure out what your problem was and with this post it has become quite obvious.

Actually, you do mistreat people. When you say that gays and trans people have mental illnesses, you made an ignorant, incorrect and hurtful comment towards people that it has been proved OVER AND OVER do NOT have a mental illness.

No lawmaker has even proposed a law in which you have to ask a person their preferred pronoun before addressing them. I'd like to say "nice attempt at a strawman," but it's actually the worst attempt at a strawman I have ever seen.

And no, you don't know right from wrong because you are so incredibly wrong and don't realize how sad that it. Everyone deserves to be treated equally. It works both ways. Gay people deserve to marry one another. That doesn't infringe on your rights AT ALL. Gay people deserve to not be fired for being gay just as much as YOU deserve to not be fired for being straight. If you're an employer, the only right these laws infringe upon is your right to mistreat people because they're different... but you claim you don't mistreat people, so you should support those laws.

I am so HAPPY that at least the younger generation seems to be becoming more intelligent and accepting and giving up on these outdated ideas that giving people equal rights infringes on the rights of the others. It doesn't other than your right to discriminate and mistreat others... but you claim you don't do that so it really shouldn't bother you.

And normally, I hate using ad hominenms but once in a while I come across someone who is such a outright jerk that it's hard not too.

You're sickening.

There are people like that in every generation. You could have easily made this movie about kids in any decade, just with different technology to mess with the guy.

reply

Complete and utter nonsense. Yeah, Ethan's generation is the worst generation ever. It's worse than the generations that used to send their children out to work when they were ten years old. It's worse than the generations who treated blacks, gays and women as second class citizens to white males.

Your concept of the "breakdown of the American family" is further nonsense. People seem to think that back in the 195's, everyone lived like Ozzie and Harriet. Newsflash, they didn't. The generations are, in fact, getting much better.

Read. Educate yourself. Be happy you live in a time where you can do this.

Yes, that sums up everything you say.

That was less than 200 years since the crucifixion. I have no idea what a family unit looked like back then, but I know this, in the 20th century families stayed together, loved and respected each other. Is that an absolute? No of course not, there are always exceptions, but now everyone's raised in a single parent household and it's mother and child. That's why boys are so effeminate these days. So don't go telling me your *beep* about what you think it was like, because I know.

Read. Educate yourself. Be happy you live in a time where you can do this
I'll read and then be forced to educate you. And what the *beep* is this *beep* about being happy that I live in a time where I can do "this"? That's how stupid you are. Do you think there was a time when I didn't have freedom in the United States? That's some dumbass childish *beep* you're peddling there. Even more pathetic is that it appears you're crediting the very culture that I oppose for whatever "this" is. Sorry to rain on your parade of stupid.

Exactly the sort of idiotic response I would expect from an dumba$$ like you.

Thanks for the laugh. Maybe next time, try to learn something (like the English language and some common sense) before posting on a message board.
