Oh, wait a minute Ed, weren't you indicating how good everyone else has it because they weren't being killed in 'Nam? Or shot on campus? Typical boomer diatribe BS.

Divide and conquer has always been the most succesful tactic for forcing this bullshit down our throats. Look at the chronological proof; white vs. black, young vs. old, boomer vs. gen-x, red vs. blue. And they laugh all the way to the bank from the sweat off our brow. I’m just sayin..

Wait a minute weren't the boomers that were "Talkin bout my ggggeneration", did you asshats invent generational divide? Funny how the group that perfected us Vs. them is now trying crying can't we all get along? No, no we can't. But hey at least you have the solice of virtually every radio station playing a fine collection of boomer rock. Rock on Ed at least your not getting shot at on campus, or dying with your buddies face down in a 'Nam rice paddy.

hey looks like Patrick.net is getting the band back together!

where's Bap?

to show what a freakin housing nerd i am...i found out i lived a few miles from one of casey's homes and i had to drive over and check it out (this was back when he still owned it years back....).

And did Peter P ever buy a home in the suburbs so he could grow his own broccoli?

It's funny, I only joined Patrick.net's forums recently so I wasn't present for the bulk of this thread (although I've been a reader of his site for many many years), but most of my friends who rent grow more of their own vegetables/fruits than most of the people who own (one owner who grows anything vs. several renters). The justifications that start with, "you can't do..." usually are just theoretical or aren't strong enough reasons. If you really want to do something, you can almost always find a way, or else you're not being creative enough.

You know, I got to hand it to just how bad things had gotten.

My parents attitude shift in the last 3 years on classic boomer opinions;

1) College is no longer the end all answer, rather it's a financial disaster.

2) My retirement is no longer ensured, rather it's fucked.

3) I'm so proud of my daughters just because they've yet to rack up any debt.

4) If your screwed over by fate, toss responsibility to the wind and that house back at the bank.

5) I'm so proud of my daughters because they've not gotten knocked up, aka financially knocked out.

Got to agree with this - and after all, wasn't it the Boomers who demonstrated, protested, marched, petitioned, and voted for pols who gave them abortion rights to KILL OFF about 40 percent of us X'ers and Millennials?????

And NOW they want kumbaya???
And wave the flag of fear of "divide & conquer" ???

LOL
