These “my generation is better than your generation” arguments fascinate me.
Sanctimonious bull crap.
The truth is that every generation has done great things and horrible things.
And what one generation considers reprehensible another considers perfectly acceptable.
And the next new generation isn’t necessarily getting it wrong.
You want to talk about how much better your generation is than the next? Take a long look in the mirror first. So which generation is yours?
My generation thought racial segregation was perfectly acceptable
My generation saw a black man kiss a white woman on TV and considered it morally reprehensible
My generation saw one man kiss another man on TV and considered it morally reprehensible
My generation legalized abortion
My generation dumped huge amounts of lead into the environment
My generation dumped trillions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere and pretended it had no effect on the environment
My generation sent quadrillions of dollars to the middle east because we were too cheap to develop renewable energy
My generation unleashed atomic weapons on the world and spent the rest of our lives hoping we die before the technology is used to vaporize our descendants.
My generation legalized marijuana
My generation made music that literally changed the world
My generation used that same music to sell cars, credit cards, beer, fitness water, sports drinks, candy, yogurt, video games, diet soda, douchbag clothes, sneakers, erectile dysfunction medication, wireless telephone service , gasoline, deodorant, satellite TV, investment services, incontinence protection, office supplies, pizza, potato chips, department stores, breakfast cereal, fast food, diamond rings, fried chicken, cat food, mayonnaise, hotels, chewing gum, tires, fiber bars, car insurance and shi**ty operating systems. You people are going to hell.
