Is there ANYTHING that goes on in the world that isn't America's fault?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you missed the first step in the sequence of events.

Didn't Georgia invade South Ossetia first?

But the funny part is, through all of this quibbling about whether generational identities are valid in this ccontext, we STILL SEE NO ATTEMPT TO PROVE OTHERWISE IN THE CONTEXT OF THIS THREAD.

Mana, it seems you'd rather argue the obvious than truly contend my point by actually posting about world events.

Ugh, completely not true. Please look back. I had moved on, and then another post was made (by KG) about how worthless his and my generation is, which I guess I should have just sat by and not cared that someone was shit-talking my generation. Then it would have been more of this not caring that my generation apparently only does.

You can tell me what your generation and my does and doesn't do all you like, but all the bottom two generations have SHOWN me is the exact opposite, regardless of your rhetoric.

So you and I have both presented opposing opinions, neither with meaningful evidence. Whoop dee doo. But I figured and hoped since you had seven studies to refer to you might actually bring in some interesting statistics, but I guess not. I guess you'll just be another old man in a long history of old men that bemoans the state of the youth without actually backing up your shit-talking, while the generation below you rolls their eyes.
