[QUOTE="BortimusPrime, post: 1259070, member: 2248"] Really when you think about it older people blaming a younger generation for being inadequate is just damning themselves. Everyone whose kid turns out to be a piece of shit desperately wants to insist they just did the best they could and it's totally not their fault, and everyone goes along with it out of politeness. Interview the mothers of every single spree killer in the last decade, I guarantee you'll hear the exact same story about how they were a good parent and it was only as a teenager or adult when they didn't have any more control over little Billy (and thus no longer at risk for blame) that he inexplicably went cuckoo and started collecting guns. Probably those evil video games and internet forums. The failure to thrive of the millennial generation results in this same self-defensive delusional behavior on a population scale. According to all those 1960s montages scored with Fortunate Son we're expected to believe that the baby boomers were all wonderful peace-loving good people, the first generation in American History to care about moral goods like ethnic food and giving blacks their freedoms. Even when they all got divorced the movies showed us how it was always for a good reason and the children were better off for it. But despite them being perfect, they raised horrible children that don't care about important things like woodstock and just play those damn computer games! It's those damn computer games, why can't they spend their evenings watching the nice mulatto man on the news talk about how low the unemployment rate is now that everyone ran out of money for grad school and had to become a barista?
