GenX invented internet porn. Who do you think was in their 20's when homes got the internet?

I'm so tired of everyone being defined by their generational label. The labels and their stigmas are as pointless and inaccurate as your zodiac signs.

This shite belongs on facebook


Stereotypes exist for a reason. A stereotype doesn't hit 100% of the time but it will a vast majority of the time.

All that said, I am Gen X but I had a lot of lazy fricking friends that always got mad because I got out and worked since I was 12 and had money to go to the movies or go to dinner and they didn't. They called me spoiled despite me waking up at 2 in the morning and getting out and working 12 hour days in the summer and holidays.

One of my best friends all through college was at Auburn for 5 years in Aerospace Engineering and dropped out with a semester left, spent the next two year getting a math degree and is a shipping manager at a factory. Hard to feel bad for him, now he has gone from being a conservative to a far left Sanders supporter wanting free shite because of his past frick ups that he won't ever pay off.

what do you know about what happens in college classrooms?


I see the results all the time when those snot nosed kids come crawling out of college looking for jobs. I help interview them, decide which ones have sufficiently low enough levels of stupidity to hire, then I help train the ones we hire

And no offense, from my time dealing with them, your generation is full of self righteous, overly-sensitive, hyper-political pussies incapable of taking any sort of constructive criticism without getting their feelings hurt. In other words they remind me of you.

efit of possessing the best characteristics of both the boomers and the millennials, and none of the downsides. We know how to work hard and we know how to play hard. Generation X-ers are very industrious. Boomers don’t understand the internet and millennials were raised on it. Generation X created it. We stripped off and dove into the glittering waters of this brand new thing, and made it what it is today. We had a dot com boom (and a couple of busts), we took those progressive late-boomers Bill Gates and Steve Jobs under our wing and showed them what we could do with their stuff. We walked around with phones the size of rucksacks and sent the first halting text-messages. We knuckled down and worked hard and now we write books and make TV and direct movies, we get up early to go to work, we come out in the middle of the night
to fix your burst pipe.

We had tangible porn (magazines), which helped many of us hone our skills of being able to hide things in our room.

Thanks again for proving my point by fitting perfectly into the stereotype for a Millineal. Keep acting like you find it funny but I know it bothers you, eats at you, even pisses you off. And deep down inside it does all these things because you know I'm right.

Your long winded reply would indicate it got under your skin much worse than his.

You run out of oxy and getting angry?
