Isn't the whole point to try hard and work hard, so you can give the next generation something better than you had??

So you can leave them something that will help them achieve more than you ever could, and not feel the pain and struggle you had to go through??

And so then they maybe be able to do the same for their children and grandchildren???

Whatever happened to that idea, that virtue, that noble cause, that desire to uplift your own kin and help them become successful in ways that were never possible for yourself... and hoping that they do YOU and your name proud??

Or are you so damn ate up with a self centered, egocentric, ethnocentric ideal that you are just too selfish, close minded and willing to let your own blood be damned??

There are doors in this world that can be opened for future generations that you and I will never be able to walk through, but one day our children or grandchildren might... I know I want them to have that chance... I am willing to give everything have so my own blood can have a better future than was ever offered to me

Why the hatred?? Why the hostility?? Seems a bit unnecessary when the alternative is love and success

Sure... any sane person would want that. So what did the Boomers give us that's better? Debt... Clinton, Bush Jr., Obama... Inner city messes.. Both parents working... Debt... Feminism... Massive government... GOD kicked out of schools... Globalism... Debt... New Babylon... Homosexuality as normal... 500,000 laws, rules, and regulations... Debt...

Help me out here with what's better.

Ummm... you're talking about the Bommers here.

Again... you're talking about the Boomers. In this thread alone I've received a "frick You" and "Youre a jackass" by 60-70 year olds acting like 6-7 year olds.

That's where you veered off of what we should do. My parent's generation would hope to provide my generation the love, education and work ethic to do more than they were able to accomplish. My generation would hope to provide education, love, caring, jump start or whatever to get them to exceed what we did; but "giving them" is the problem that is going to bring the country down.
