Random American High School in 1989: Such vitality, happiness, vigor...What happened to us? | |

This was approximately the peak of human civilization. We'll never return to being like this. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78425644 Was it just the Internet destroying human relationships or more than that? [link to www.youtube.com (secure)] What happened is that these high school kids had children of their own and didn't give a shit about them. As a result, their kids turned into circus freaks. No that was our parents. This is Gen X and many of us had young People far more intelligent than millennials parents. |

Much less the Joe Bidens/Obamas/Clintons of America. All because too many people don't know, understand or care about the true dark nature of liberal/leftwing biases. . |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78296151 Romania 02/02/2020 11:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | BlOOMERS happened. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75940309 - horrible, selfish parents - cannibal capitalism, diminished job prospects - media saturation - cultural polarization. - families broke and broken. - SAD diet, additives, high fructose corn syrup, obesity - glorification of alcohol and drugs in movies I came of age at that time. Parents were raging, self-absorbed narcissists. In every job there was someone 10 to 20 years older barring the door to opportunity, characterizing all Xers as slackers or lazy. Wgeeling, dealing, cheating. The same generation fleeced their parents, treated them like crap while structuring their estates to stick it to their own kids. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 72790794 United States 02/02/2020 11:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Many factors. 911 being a key one. I was a 90s high school kid and it seemed it was beginning to turn then. But one thing I remember different than the kids of the 80s was a removal of morality from school combined with removal of consequences. Then they pumped in education rife with narcissistic promotion. Hell kids used to carry shotguns to school. Then that stopped after a few government sanctioned school shootings. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35741584 Schools and students are being deliberately social-engineered today, versus 1989 when it was still the previous basics of education. Or did everyone just change overnight and become laisse-faire moral relativists? Someone is running the show, folks. |

Complete hatred of their elders. they came home from school to watch Jerry Springer's guests beat the shit out of babydaddies with the chairs on the tv set, People's Court dysfunction, Clinton laughing about blowjobs in the 'oral office'. We have never been able to climb out of that toilet that administration put us in. Bill and Hillary are literally the poster children for the "Ok People far more intelligent than millennialss" retorts. These kids are fundamentally enraged and have been since elementary school. Bam should have been arrested for abuse. |

Oh and for the millennial's wondering how I owned a Trans Am and a Truck. At the age of 14 I got my "Hardship Driver's License" and I worked 2 jobs 7 days a week. Veterinarian Clinic cleaning cages and feeding animals in the morning before school and in the evenings after school for $2.00 an hour (Below minimum wage) and then I sacked groceries and stocked the shelves at the local grocery store for $3.35 an hour. 7 days a week.

I CAN HEAR IT TOO User ID: 78297910 United States 02/02/2020 11:17 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The parents born in the Truman/Ike years are very different from the parents born in the Kennedy/Johnson years. Truman/Ike kids were the Woodstock generation and rebelled, did not want to be like their WW2 era parents at all. But Kennedy/Johnson kids were too young for Vietnam/Woodstock and basically we raised our children on the same classic rock that we grew up with, we have far less generational gap with them than the previous decade's parents. I will agree 100 percent that Bloomer greed is coming back to bite everyone born after 1957, Illinois will go bankrupt with 300 different pension plans to feather all their nests |
