The Worst People in the World...

[Geezer]

Get back to work fighting Agenda 30.
You're our only hope, Obi Wan.

[DCHawk1]

Been over a decade and DC is still arrogant and full of shit.

[defixione]

Speaking of painful to watch.

That's not what I've "got."

You seem to be confused.

"Seems to me that some sort of middle ground might be a comfortable place to land, a position in which the state did NOT have unlimited power to coerce citizen behavior...

Your posts are becoming more like Psych's. Without distorting or putting words into people's mouths, you have little to no argument.

Your condemnation of the "demographic" that helped pass the Voting Rights Act and Civil Rights Act and then forced republican traitor Nixon to resign puts the lie to this statement of yours:

Weird isn't it? The parties/ideologies seem to have traded places..."

Because here we are half a century later and the "parties/ideologies" haven't changed. Democrats still have to fight tooth and nail to keep republicans from denying people, mainly blacks, their right to vote. And here we are again, fighting yet another traitorous republican president, wholly and totally enabled, by republicans.

Also, lulz.

t at least one survey shows that baby boomers, one of the demographics that is most at risk of COVID-19 (to the degree that the illness has been uncharitably referred to by youngsters as the “boomer remover”), are most resistant to changing their habits. According to a survey from the consumer insights company STAANCE that polled more than 2,000 Americans, baby boomers were least likely to worry about contracting the virus, with 43 percent saying they were concerned about it as opposed to 53 percent of millennials and 54 percent of Gen X members. (They did not survey people older than boomers, i.e., those born before 1945.) Only 19 percent of boomers reported having canceled a flight as a result of coronavirus, as opposed to 31 percent of millennials and 28 percent of Gen X’ers....

Yet for the most part, these boomers’ relative unwillingness to confront the reality of COVID-19 seems to stem from the same impulse that guided my worst decisions during my teenage years: They just don’t like being told what to do, whether it’s in their best interest or not. “When you’re 55-plus and 60-plus, you’re already limited so much by what society says you can/can’t do due to your age,” says Deanna Kugler, 30, a public-relations professional based in New York. Kugler says she regularly fights with her parents, who live on Long Island, about things like going out to dinner and traveling to special events. “There’s a huge stigma around boomers not knowing things, being able to do certain things — I’m sure they recognize that and think, ‘I can do anything!’ when really they should be cautious and staying inside.”...

The psychic toll of this refusal to take the virus seriously can be devastating for older people’s loved ones. Over and over again, millennials and zoomers recounted their parents’ and grandparents’ adamant refusal to take the virus seriously, not just in terms of the frustration it caused them, but also the desperation and anxiety. “A stalemate is definitely where we’re at now,” says Kugler. “They’re not going to change their minds for anyone, especially not their own kids.”...

What more could one ask of true Patriots than to give their lives for the economy?

What more could one ask of true Patriots than to give their lives for the economy?

I tried to be reasonable: Seems to me that some sort of middle ground might be a comfortable place to land, a position in which the state did NOT have unlimited power to coerce citizen behavior and one in which the citizens did not demand that they should use their unlimited liberty to do whatever the hell they want to do.

But I was told that was putting words in people's mouths. Or something.

And the lulz keep coming...

there was another deadly flu epidemic in the United States. The flu spread from Hong Kong to the United States, arriving December 1968 and peaking a year later. It ultimately killed 100,000 people in the U.S., mostly over the age of 65, and one million worldwide....

...the famous Woodstock concert of August 1969 – planned in January during the worse period of death – actually occurred during a deadly American flu pandemic that only peaked globally six months later.

Fucking Boomers.

Right, because you read all about it.

Yep.

Same as you.

Congratulations DC, you finally, maybe, kinda/sorta have a "point" that doesn't require you to lick Trump's balls to make it. I'm happy for you.

Except, you started your "point" slandering the "If it feels good, do it...demographic", and then changed to "Boomers". The "Summer of Love" was 1967. That means "the oldest Boomers" were 21 then. And while there were certainly some early Boomers who participated in the "if it feels good, do it" state of mind, the vast, vast majority were, like me, much too young.

On the other hand, many of the "Hippies", "if it feels good, do it" participants were pre-Boomers, and as such, were of age and participated in the civil rights movement, too.

Which is to say, the: "If it feels good, do it" and "Boomer" demographics are not exactly the same thing.

That being said, props for making all of those people here who pine for Gusher feel better, because resorting to ageism when you have little to nothing else to say, was always his ace in the hole.

The flu epidemic of 1968...

One just has to laugh at you, DC, ever the Keyboard Warrior, trying to convince us that whatever you read about events before you were born is The Real Truth, especially when promulgated by one of your favorite Far, Far Right Wing think tanks.

I remember that flu--wasn't anything like the COVID 19 virus.

I finally realized that all of Sea’s posts remind me of the stories in Forrest Gump. They are all one-dimensional accounts of historical events starring her as the hero. And that’s all I have to say about that.

[seahawk]

I remember that December and that flu at the University of Kansas, that college that you didn't attend but continue to be obsessed with. You're one to talk about Forrest Gump. But I guess if your degrees are from racist Bible colleges and online Phd Bible college programs....

The thing I like best is that I was mostly just making fun of the fact that Geezer is a totalitarian at heart and is increasingly unable to hide it.

But you people -- you Floridians, in particular -- can't help but work yourself into such a lather over it.

Making fun, DC? If there was ever an example of what my husband called those "intense, humorless Nebraskans," honey bunny, you're it.

Just happened upon your additional work today in the "Who You Got" thread in the "Politics" forum, DC.

There's help available.

Best of luck.

Speaking of Gusher....

What's that saying about being called ugly by a frog?

Which one of you is gonna tell Doyel that he just took my side in this?

[DCHawk1]

Geezer's people.

DC, you're actually hysterically funny in your Boomer stuff, but have to tell you that you lost all credibility forever with that meme back when you told us that there was NO, NONE, ZIP, ZERO pedophile scandal in the Roman Catholic Church outside of the decadent culture of the United States. It was happening only in the U.S., due to the decadent culture caused by Slutty 1960s Boomer Females. Those dangerous women who just refused to accept the terrorizing by your evil Bishops about contraception.

How many billions have your evil Bishops paid out now to victims of priests who fuck young children? Geez, even the Irish quit going to Mass.

Boomers, right.
