Has anyone noticed the wording on some commercials lately. "Get the interest rate you deserve." "Get the loan you deserve." Get the car you deserve."

-Dr Spock: don't punish bad behavior, let the child do whatever they want so you don't stunt their self perception.
-60's do what ever feels good. No self control.
-There is no right or wrong. Situational ethics.
-Elementary schools that make sure that every student gets an award so that no one is left out.
-College students that think they deserve an "A" just for showing up.
-Grads that want 50k a year job when the only skill they have is the ability to get a B.A. degree.
-Obama-bucks.
-Occupy Wall Street
-Looting every time you protest anything at all.

All this stuff (and a lot more to come) is a result of rejecting moral standards in the Bible, liberal thinking and socialism.

+1 on the wrong generation generalization.

Gen X is more likely the first generation to achieve a lower standard of living than their parents, despite having more education and working as hard as their parents.

If you can't afford it, the government will get you an Obama phone, subsidized housing, food, a welfare paycheck, healthcare, and a sense of well being that perhaps you didn't earn.....but deserve.

Some people feel a sense of entitlement to spew their PARF-bile on the regular PPOT forum.

That's really what I meant in the intent, but it's much easier to type and spell Gen-X than millenniumanals. seriously.


I was more the 70's and 80's era. Disco Sucks, New Wave, Pet rocks, you know, back when Frampton came Alive?

Yeah, it couldn't be their parents' fault at all, could it?
Typical boomers...

"There are children today who were lied to
Told the world is rightfully theirs
They can have what they want, whenever they want
They take like Caesar and nobody cares
Live like Caesar and nobody cares"
