Rant from a Gen X'r

[GOOSEBOY78]

This isn't a question, but why do most of you millellenials expect somebody to do things FOR you?
when I was growing up in the 80s its was go get it (damn) yourself

Example: expecting someone to cook for you because you were too lazy/high/stoned/insert reason here.

how do you expect to learn the secret to grannys famous cookies you love when she is gone? she is willing to teach and you would rather play your video games and hide in your room.

It makes me angry that you millenials act so self entitled when you have no reason to be.

if I said was "woke" granny woulda said: good, you can go tidy your room.
yes us gen X's are the "fk around and find out" because our parents had capital punishment as a weapon and yours didn't (and look how turned out?) bunch of disrespectful little cnts.

and have poor stretched police as the thin blue line have now become the displinarians your parents have "tried nothing and they are all out of ideas"

we knew the buck stopped with our parents "just wait til your father gets home" "boy you wanna keep crying? i will give you something to cry about"

some us got hit, some of us got shit kicked out of us and we survived.

but most of you are too busy with your nose in this phone to care...

because you refuse to learn, because its always somebody elses fault. and your helicopter parents never even let you learn for yourself.

veganism? LOL no. when I grew up: you ate what you were given or you starved.

I just want to say... the dislike you see in the world is not from anyone younger than you.. what you see is people in your own generations raising children like us poorly, and your elders doing a terrible job of making it easy for you to work in good conditions and get paid well. Many governments fail at making the best decisions. Youngsters outside of government have no fault in that...

Now we can change it, but don't beat us up for thinking WE DESERVE BETTER. If you want to eat snails under a rock and live in frostbite conditions and say 'YOU'RE BETTER THAN US." Go right ahead. There is a luxurious saying, that we have and didn't have to come up with ourselves-

'work smarter, not harder.'

If you want to take years out of your back and call THAT an accomplishment, go ahead?

None of us in these latter generations are going to stop you from sabotaging yourself, but we will try our best to make life more efficient for us, our generations, and beyond, and also for our communities who aren't busy yapping at us like an old grandpa.

At least we're different in some ways; are you going to dare to be different? or be like your grandpas and grandmas who struggled and gave you the boot?

Will we all follow in the footsteps that lead nowhere? Or take steps more promising, elsewhere?

I get you're upset and I find this jousting complaint of yours inspiring to me because although, I do wish to work smarter, sometimes I even forget that I have hands and feet, and I can get a bit dirty at times.

Balancing both seems like the key here. Anyways, that's how I see it.

Also, this comment may bug you, but I don't know if you mean well, so I am gonna say that the eagle belongs to the Americas and that you're copying and it looks rather silly to paste the eagle on an English fag, when we are clearly notorious for the eagle on our coins. It's our emblem. You can edit it on your picture, but you cannot try to appear better than young people or other countries like America, you can only try to do better for yourself, and see us all as important and respectable.

Okay, have a nice day :]

I like the post; I found it rejuvenating for my skin, lol

like some mental exfoliator. Very refreshing.

[GOOSEBOY78]

correct im not American BUT im not English either...

[Rosexøxø]

You don't have to be either XD you can think you're better than others or see a better way of running things, but don't say you're better when you do things in one of the many traditionalist formats. If it's nothing new and it hasn't advanced the world and the people of it, I don't see how anyone from any country can bad mouth others, for wanting something good and then calling them, they're worse off?

Anyways, I can see you're ticked and I think yes, you have every right to be. I am too. Maybe I'll make my own rant later. Thanks again :]

Lmao, why you guy always so angry and cry about everything.🤣

I mean if we would turn out as angry and bitter as your generation, I'm glad we got it easier

[GOOSEBOY78]

completly missed the point of the rant as usual like most of you TL;DR

[Msputiton]

Didn't miss it, i just don't care about bitter people's opinions, they are to emotional to make sense. All the stuff you complaining about makes no sense.
Someone has the capability to choose the diet they like they have the right to, kinda the point of America, and parents to make it so they kids don't have to suffer like they did.
Almost everything you talked about was back when people were uneducated enough to learn about how much it impacts you.
You talk about y'all survived, but look how messed up you turned out.
You had to go to the internet to rant about how annoyed you are that we don't have to suffer the same barbaric punishments you did. Yeah you survived, but it made you unhealthy

[KathleenYonder]

I think you've crafted yourself some straw-millennials to set ablaze. I am worried for what happens when you find Gen Z!

[Siri137]

Capital punishment? Didn't you really mean corporal punishment?

[GOOSEBOY78]

no. the teacher used to beat your ass in schools then you would have your ass beaten when you got home. either way you would have been beaten.

[Siri137]

That's corporal punishment, not capital. Capital punishment is when you execute a criminal via hanging, electric chair or whatever.

[GOOSEBOY78]

most countries and states are getting rid of corperal punishment due to lack of being able to source the lethal injection medication very rare cases they will still use the electric chair. people haven't been hanged since the 1800s
