Do you guys ever get tired of being played?

I'm just dumbfounded at the guy saying that men over 70 had it easy. A 75 year old man would have come of age during the Vietnam War, which doesn't strike me as being exactly the easiest time. I wonder when SoB came of age, probably sometime between the releases of Taylor Swift's first album and Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. ROUGH TIMES.

If you came of age during the Vietnam war, then you had it pretty easy compared to kids in America today. Life was more basic back then, and you could afford homes, cars, and vacations with a basic job.

Bullshit man!!!

I don't know about you, but my parents put food on the table and had a place for me to live. They didn't provide me with:
Video games
Cell phones
Internet sites
Cable TV
Car(s)
Expensive sports equipment like golf clubs

They certainly were not PC, and neither were the teachers. As a matter of fact, my parents gave the school district permission to spank me if needed. Now days a teacher CANNOT even touch a student.

To say that we had it easy.......I call BULLSHIT again.

Kids of today are SOFT!!! They expect to put forth minimal effort and get maximum gain.
They don't understand the difference between want and need.
Nor do they understand the difference between earn and get.
!!!!!PERIOD!!!!!

1970s through 1990s was the best time.

Things became colder and harsher after 9/11/2001.

Through all of this time it gradually became increasingly more difficult to just work a regular job and support a wife and kids.

Now it's both parents working with kids in daycare.

Kids are soft, because that's how the government and media programs them. But, it's not like the system that's programming them to change genders is also providing them with a solid economic market to thrive in.

I'm in my mid-40's so feel like I have the benefit of having witnessed boomers and zoomers.

Boomers were badass, hardworking men.

Zoomers are crybaby pussies.

It's almost amazing to watch them blame the big, bad, white man for their problems.

In 1980 there were 226M people in the US and 188M of them were white. There were 88.4M housing units.

In 2020 there were 331M people in the US and 204M of them were white. There were 140.5M housing units.

It's not the white man that's creating problems for young people. When you let people in to the country it creates demand, which increases prices. Pretty basic.

Here are the numbers:

White:
1980: 188M
2020: 204M
+8.5%

Black:
1980: 26.5M
2020: 41.1M
+55.1%

Hispanic:
1980: 14.6M
2020: 62M
+325%

Asian:
1980: 3.5M
2020: 20.2M
+477%

American Indian:
1980: 1.4M
2020: 3.7M
+164%

Damn, we are letting too many Native Americans into this once great country.

Damn, we are letting too many Native Americans into this once great country.

How could they be "let in" if, by definition, "Native American" literally means they were already here? That doesn't make any sense.

Sorry. An attempt at a joke.

When you devalue the currency, the prices go up. Pretty basic.

I thought you were talking about the Mexicans and Canadians since they also come from North America.

Agreed.

Ahh, gotcha. Try leaning into irony, or goof on current trends. For example....
