Yeah, right. damn kids with your twitterbooks and facespaces

In my day, things were better:

I remember taking the ferry into shelbyville, I was wearing an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time, but you could only get yellow onions because of the war,
anyways the ferry cost a nickle, which had pictures of bumble bees on them, 5 bees for a quarter you would say,
anyways, I think it was back in nineteen dickety six, you had to say "dickety" because the Kasier stole our word for "twenty", I chased him, but gave up after dickety six miles....

look at who built all that infrastructure? the post ww2 generation. the greatest generation as the folks around here like to call it.

what happened to that infrastructure when the boomers were in charge?

oh, yeah, its falling to garbage. because you refuse to pay to fix it, and when we, the millennials, would like to fix it, you call us socialists.

That's why they wanna keep all the illegals here; so they don't need to get real jobs ;)

LOL
Thanks for reinforcing my point --some generations praise the earlier. You and yours just beotch and moan about what fck-ups the older gens are/were. --your linked vid did, and you just did.

Looked like a bunch of Mexican guys fixing the road I was on this morning. They didn't look much like a millennial but I could be mistaken. The tax money being used to pay them was probably boomer taxes as the millennials haven't been able to get jobs.

There's an element of truth to that. BTW, I am not pointing fingers at Gen Y/millennials. But the types of jobs that illegals do are not the types of jobs that most Americans are willing to do, even if they (the Americans)were to receive minimum wage to do so.

Yeah, they're boinking their way to success and smoking legal pot now.

Me thinks the standards have been lowered like they have been for politician's behavior! :D

Heard the old saying, "figures lie and liars figure", lots of examples of that today.

Does the Y gen include gang members across the country and those operating meth labs?

Thing is, most of those road fixing jobs are paid far higher than minimum wage, especially if they're city/state workers.

Now, I AM pointing fingers at Gen Yers (I'm one of them). Most of the ones I know are lazy as ****. They want office jobs, computer jobs, etc. Even the ones who failed out of college; they still expect some executive level job to be given to them. Labor work is not something that is in their nature.

I'm glad I grew up the way I did. I did labor jobs as a kid (yard work, odd jobs for dad's friends like pouring concrete, roofing, working on a golf course, etc). Now, I have an exec-type job, and it bores me; I'd rather be working with my hands out in the sun.

so what we have here...

Is a bunch of old guys whining on the internet...

About young people whining on the internet?


Just sayin :p ;)

and then you blame us when we try to fix your generations problems.

yup.

You have to leave mom's basement, get a job in order to do anything. *****ing about it on FB doesn't count was doing anything.

rjp

No. I'm a young-ish guy (mid-30's) whining about the young-er guys whining on the internet. Get it right, old man ;)

Well yeah, you're a bunch of young idiots. -- We know, we were too at one time.

I mean, for example, you guys think that Obamacare funding isn't aimed to be coming out of your hide. That is naivety right thar.

you just cited "infrastructure" as your generations contribution to society.

nope.jpg

i think you must mean "letting the USAs economic and intellectual infrastructure crumble" as your generations contribution to our society. something we, would very much like to fix. and then you call us idiots and socialists for wanting to fix it. all while trying to take credit for infrastructure as a good thing, and something you built (you didn't).

LOL

Taking bets - how many more posts before this descends to PARF?
Place yer bets, gents.

In before PARF!

I think it runs more along the lines of Gen Y-ers are more apt to toot their own horn and parade around after doing a mediocre job. Sorta like getting trophies even though you came in last place.

Soo...WW2 generation laid the infrastucture for your internet/cellular network? Interesting, as I had no idea those things even existed that far back...

seriously? :rolleyes:

and even on that front, they did a ****ty job, at least in the USA.
