Speaking of Image... Did anyone save the pix in the black stockings?

For a psycho biotch, she was kinda hawt, eh? :D
 
I've been told that I'm not unpleasing on the eye. And I'm highly educated too. Both formally and as an autodidact.

So piss off, moron. I'm out of your league.

We've seen your fat ugly ass, paki boi. Nobody wants to be with an ugly paki who farts non stop. Lay off the samosas, donkey fucker.

You're contradicting yourself again, IHaveUnkemptToenailsDownSouth.

So which one am I?

Que?
A fat ugly woman?
Indian or Pakistani aka Paki? Those pics. didn't look like I'm one.

You're such an idiot, Rob.
 


I make a concerted effort to avoid using Google if at all possible. Its internet search engine actually stinks.

The search engine I prefer returns many more results.




 
There's a stop sign outside my office. All morning a PoPo has been parked at the metered parking right next to the stop sign. It's a marked car and the only one parked on the street. In the past two hours he's pulled over 8 cars for a "rolling stop" at the sign. He should be giving tickets for being stupid - I mean, you can't miss that he's parked there! Stop means stop, especially when there's a marked car sitting right there watching.
 
Sorry, I made an error. I was referring to his book "The Forth Turning".
This link offers a pretty good summary: http://www.fourthturning.com/

He wrote the book in 1997, but the panel discussions that I listened to took the ideas from the book and discussed them in the context of the present day.

It might well be that you're right as far as the attitudes of US millenials re sex are concerned, in that they don't trivialize ot as much as many Xers do.
I don't live in the States to know, I just read stuff.


When Strauss and Howe first came up with their breakdown of the generations, the Millennials were little kids or still unborn, so everything they had to say about them was basically just a prediction. Their belief was that the Millennials would wind up sharing a lot of the characteristics of the so-called "Greatest Generation." In the same way the Greatest Generation allegedly redeemed the wastrels of the Roaring Twenties, the Millennials were going to be more moral and public-spirited than their useless elders in Generation X.

I have my doubts about how well their predictions, the oldest of which are now about 25 years old, have really panned out. Millennials are certainly having plenty of sex, if their social media accounts are any indication.

You might be right actually.
As I said, I went by what I read, and other than superficial interactions I haven't had that much to do with the younger generations.

I have this idealised view of and admiration for millenials as a whole.
I perceive them to be more idealistic, tolerant and generous than we were.
Or maybe it's just their youth.
