and i think the WWII generation gets a bit of a bum deal. The biggest problem with the Boomers came from the counter culture and the rise of the "New Left". They did not learn these things form their parents at home for the most part. Instead they learned them after they left home and went to college. Instead of the parents of the 60's being to blame, I think it's more the professors of the 60's.

Boomers, however, defeated communism

And you accuse others of being ignorant.

probably wouldn't be an internet, or at least it's development would have come years later, and every jack leg in the world wouldn't be walking around with a powerful computer in their hand if not for the space program

been hearing that since I was a kid, and that's been a while

1. 18-24 year old always vote at a significantly lower rate than the rest of the country. Thats fact.

2. 90% of the stadium isn't millennial, and they leave at the same rate.

3. i would check my phone if i was talking to an old dickhead like you too.

4. we get it you miss pubes

Be careful what you wish for.

1). Many were not old enough to vote in 2008. 2012, sure. Voter turnout was also lower with Latinos and AAs this year. I voted, and so did many other of friends in college but, there is no doubt that we do not turn out regularly which is why we are generally ignored in politics. As much as you and I dislike Obama he had an ability to connect with groups who historically don't vote and targeted them. It worked for him.
2). We agree on this. I will more than likely not even have the option though.
3). Y'all were once young and dumb as well. People in your generation have made mistakes and so will those of this one. But to label us the worst generation as we are getting out of college seems a little premature. I think(and hope) the results of the past election will at least get us on the right track.
