Well then my response was appropriate. Folks throw the boomer thing out readily, and yes it captures a bunch of lib hippies that are reliving their protesting days. But the boomer generation also consists of Nam lost folks and vets. They experienced hell that you or I cannot comprehend. To casually throw out the term boomer as a lump all is idiotic and shows a lack of knowledge regarding history. And it shows a great deal of disrespect.


A boomer started this. Other boomers called him loony, other generations reminded him not all boomers are like him.

The only true pigeonholing came from the OP.

The ignorant lacking knowledge was OP- everyone else just gave him the attention he is SO desperately seeking.

Could you please tell her I am a perfect liberal. Perhaps she would friend me on Facebook.


Found the issue.

Trevaylin, I do honestly hope you can reconnect with your daughter. Family is important. I'd be terribly sad if either of my children wrote me off.

I tried night Loyola Law School while employed full time, LSAT test was very heavy into reading "comprehension". I dropped after 55 hours credit. I did dislike lawyers to this day.

Folks need to go back to the last 3 lines of my opening monologue where I suggest that getting Boomers off liberal protest marches was to provide opportunities for conservative involvement . that's kind of conservative.

Conservatives don't have an age test... just show up! Find your nearest Republican party office! door knock or work phones! work with a church! read to elementary school kids! go hang out at a nursing home!

You want people to pander to you because you are desperate for attention.

The simple fact is this. You want to connect with your daughter. That is the point of your post. Has nothing to do with boomers. This is about you needing to connect to your daughter because she won’t talk to you. Making a post like this won’t get you closer to her. Just let her know you will always be there for her and you love her no matter what. Eventually, the lies of leftism will wear off and she’ll know who really cares for her. I’m praying for you.

AhHa.......A Corpus Christi respondent. Maybe you will affirm that some environmental activism from knowledgeable folks is called for. Nueces river basin is 12.3 percent and dropping a percent a month. The city has done an absolutely disaster of a job being the primary manager of fresh water supply for the region. Residential use about 20 % of the water, industrials use 80%. Fixes will take 4-5 years and the river turns to dust in 9-10 months. Seven years ago Exxon contracted for an ethylene plant that currently uses 25 % of available water. Plant utility concepts were Baton Rouge Based with unlimited water available, not an arid desert. City last week canceled a very large industrial reverse osmosis after spending a 100 million dollar design fee. Water balance for the Exxon plant was strongly predicated on said ro plant. Issues are Cost and toxic bay salinity. Exxon is not serious about water reduction, highlites in the 2024 environment report called for Exxon donating 100 rain barrels to the community{and there is no rain}, and they were proud of a cooling tower cycle of concentration of 3.8, while federal guidance sez 3-8 is appropriate{bottom 25 %.}

understanding all that and the fact that the bay saline contents has already eliminated much {70%} of the shrimp, crab, trout available, we may have a environmental problem. The activism I talk about is really gonna get massive when the city of 300,000 can no longer flush the toilet or brush their teeth 9 months from now.

there is no fix. And Cheniere is currently constructing one of the world's largest LNG plants which will require water. Cheniere did take a more arid climate approach, using fin fans for cooling rather than spray cooling tower
With such a mess, the environmental activists may be the vehicle to get problem worked. I currently think so.

Let’s see. Your generation introduced us to the following:

Hard drugs
Open sexuality
Fiat banking
Second wave feminism
Abortion
Removal of religion from most daily aspects of public (and private) life

Yeah, you’ll want to sit this one out.

Sounds like a Boomer. You helped create the problem you’re now complaining about.

Goodness.
It's one thing to be "unburdened" by the past.
It's another entirely to reinvent it.

What you posted here is Critical Theory. It is top-level stupid.

Top level stupid is coming in here and stating that conservatives should try to cater to a group of people who’ve always been opposed to any type of societal norm that doesn’t involve moral vacuousness. Let them go, as they’re going to die anyway. Better to make babies than to try to raise the dead. You really are stupid.

Vacuousness indeed.
Facts are stubborn things, and they are particularly unkind to critical theory.

Oh you mean the same party that gave us Dick and Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Eyepatch McCain, Bill Cassidy, continuous wars, deficit spending, offshoring manufacturing…

Gotta keep the stock market up to protect that pension no matter if the real economy under it is trash.

That’s not critical theory. It’s calling out a generation for being so stupid as to trust a media whose pockets are lined by the pharmaceutical industry keeping your walking dead asses alive.

Well, let's see


Hard drugs -- Timothy Leary b. 1920

Open sexuality -- Hugh Hefner b. 1926, Larry Flynt b. 1942

Fiat banking -- Nixon b. 1913 and his advisors: John Connally b. 1917, Arthur Burns b. 1904, Paul Volcker b. 1927

Second wave feminism -- Betty Friedan b. 1921

Abortion -- Justice Harry Blackmun b. 1908, Justice Warren Burger b. 1907, Justice Potter Stewart b. 1915, William J. Brennan b. 1908, William O. Douglas b. 1898, Thurgood Marshall b. 1908, Lewis F. Powell Jr. b. 1907

Removal of religion from most daily aspects of public (and private) life -- Engel v. Vitale (1962), Abington School District v. Schempp (1963), McCollum v. Board of Education (1948) all decided by folks born in the 19th century


Attempting attribution of responsibility of those issues to "Boomers" is the epitome of Critical Theory.

Go to a reformed church, love Christ and live a peaceful, humble life while helping and encouraging those around you. Loneliness and alienation come from a self centered existence.
