The Next Generation

Where did I say I beat him up? Comprehend much? I understand your struggle. Bashing me for something you know nothing about that happened over 30 yrs ago?

Tried to beat him up ... whatever. I'm not bashing you for it - I couldn't give a toss about you breaking into a soda machine 30 years ago. Or even now, really.

No, I totally get it - you broke into a soda vending machine but you didn't rat out your mate, because of the 'code', but you beat him up because he broke the 'code'. It's not difficult to understand at all. (And I think you're bad-ass is a sub-text here ... that's sort of the bit I'm struggling with.)

Where did I say I beat him up?

Were you there? Were you among those who consistently preached not to rat on your friends, then be one of those preachy ones who broke the 'code'?

Then STFU it doesn't bother you. Live on with your falsehoods.

I don't understand your question even slightly. If you want to rephrase it so it's actually clear, I'll happily respond.

Of course not. Have a good day.

 

[KimGordon67]

I'm assuming rephrasing it clearly isn't within your capabilities.

 

[ThatsTheGuy]

Wesley Crusher was really fucking annoying.

He was a fictional character playing in a TV show. Wil Wheaton was known for being an annoying dipshit in real life as well.

 

[ThatsTheGuy]

I'm assuming rephrasing it wouldn't matter to YOU as it wouldn't fit within your narrative painting.

That's what Sheldon Cooper believes, so it must be true.

What 'narrative painting'? I haven't presented a narrative - that was you.

I was also assuming you were intelligent and capable of googling. My fault. In the future, I'll strive to understand whatever you're thinking. Maybe.

Googling what?

All I was thinking was 'what a slightly weird string of attempts on the part of a waning generation to be 'relevant' in the context of an ascendant generation'. Honestly, I'm not that worried if some random stranger on the internet 'understands' that or not.

 

[ThatsTheGuy]

No - you added the self-interest twist and confused yourself. If you understand the difference between greed and self-interest, why assume I can't and that I am making generalisations?

So there must be a watershed somewhere: who decides where self-interest ends and corruption begins? It's surely a subjective matter. I'd add a precursor to self-interest, which is self-preservation but lets not complicate things.

There is a difference. More often than not greed, self-interest, and corruption go hand in hand like a revolving door. Self-interest can be good or bad. Corruption can start as well intended, but begins as self-interest(s). Greed is obvious to those who see it for what it is.

I'm not disputing you. Just saying.

I would have tried a PM, but I noticed the link in your sig line. I'm not here to pick up women nor to get off in 90 seconds.

I'll make one more attempt before logging out. That's not what you expressed.

If MY personal experience that was between my ex friend and I, why would it bother YOU so much to keep ranting about it? MY experience. Not YOURS. Besides, the guy died in a car wreck before we could reconcile our differences as true friends should do. He's not with us to speak his mind. There's been some closure. I owe him that much no matter howmatter still bothers me in some way in the dark corners of my mind.

Again STFU. I'm not 'worried' what you think I should understand about whatever you post. I made a futile attempt. My fault.

You posted it in a public forum, in a board know for debate and discussion. That tends to invite comment.
If you don't want people commenting on YOUR personal experiences, maybe don't thrown them out into the public arena in a forum that invites such comment. Start your own thread somewhere else for discussion of the misadventures of our youth ... that's not what this thread started as at all.

Oh ... a gif. Well, that's put me in my place. How ... relevant.

Are you old guys all just getting stoned? Because that would explain a lot.

You're still here? I did knock.

Got a joint? I'll go smoke one to pass the time until you've left the building. You could use one yourself. I'll save the roach for you in the scuttlebutt outside.

I smoked dope and protested the war. Then I grew up and decided to do more productive things with my life. You know, legal stuff, like hanging out in bars and picking up the 3AM sluts.

Nothing like picking up drunk chicks who can't defend themselves against your date rapiness, eh? Which pussy is better - date rape pussy or bought and paid for Asian pussy?

We still have hope in spite of it all. A hope that helps make the world turn.

Truth! You and all the other old dumbfucks will be dead soon.

"It's better to be Wasserman positive than never to have loved at all."
--anon.

If Tromp starts lobbing nukes, we'll mostly all be dead soon. Then the next generation will be crab-like mutants with funny voices. Bet on it.

 

[coati]

You're saying the next Generation(s) can't do that? That they're different somehow because they haven't experienced the same things? There's a few Parkland Students who disagree w/David Hogg, they refuse to 'follow the script' groups like CNN wrote out for them. Young minds speaking their beliefs just like ours.

There's many unjust wars, mine has stopped several while participating in others.

You sound a bit defensive, and you apparently did not understand my post. I was encouraging the next generation to be just as audacious as my generations was.

BTW, your conspiracy theory about CNN writing the script for Parkland students is ridiculous. Those students were deeply affected and articulate in their own right immediately during the aftermath of that shooting. And, just like there were young right wingers during the 1960s opposing voting/civil rights acts and saying that the Civil Rights movement was "moving too fast", there are a few young right-wingers today resisting the mass movements against shooting sprees by unstable people who have easy access to guns. So what? There are always a few young people defending the status quo.

Wow about Woundedknee! I have always got creepy vibes from that weirdo. And my instinct is always right, i can smell bullshit a mile a way!

Difficult to know what's more creepy ... his actual behaviour, or the fact that he thinks it warrants boasting about.
