The university environment is getting stupid, eg. 3 hours ago, Sabrefan1 said: People who believe that they are good fighting against evil will get angry if you tell them otherwise. Unless I'm having fun messing with someone, I don't often comment on their beliefs. It's pointless because you suddenly are bunched in with the evil they believe they are fighting against. Agreed. I'm seeing an increase from the left where more and more people are telling others what to do, how to think/feel. Any resistance is met with heavy backlash. Lost the plot is a good way to put it. People generally don't like being told what to do, so that contributes to why more people are leaning right than they otherwise would. Funny seeing this shift in approach from both sides. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a changing of the guard as the largest generation in the history of human civilization (and the biggest sell out generation) fades into irrelevancy and young people start to say that the way things are is not the way things are going to be. I'm all for fir it, the deeply narcissistic boomers have f***ed us all. I'm glad to see young people trying to change the status quo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What seems new to me is the level of sustained hate there seems to be now, and just how much people have moved away from basic issues like good jobs, food prices, etc. The extremes seem larger to me now, maybe it was 5% on either side when I was a kid, now it feels more like 20% on both sides are extremists. Land of extremes in every which way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case, then I accept if the authorities use lethal force. Send this army to God. If homicide is what they're intending on doing, pretty sure that God (if there is one) would likely deny them holy audience and instead will send them directly to where they belong, in the depths of the 18th level of hell, never to be reincarnated.

We are fortunate there was a lot of older folk who worked so hard to make it a nice place. Don’t see the hate for the elderly you’re expressing as needed. Way more often these elderly folk live on or below the poverty line. IMHAO a healthy society has a blend between the conservative values of the elderly and the progressive attitudes of the younger people. We need both. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the boomers wanted to change the world in the 60's. When they realized they couldnt, they tried to change themselves in 70's. When they realized that wasn't going to work they said f*** it, let's make as much money as we possibly can and f*** everyone else. Everything from the late 50's until now wa focused on them and screw everyone else. As a gen x'er, we lived in the exceptionally large shadow of them all our lives and they never wanted to share. Now, we have to take care of them They changed the world and not for the better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both sides in the US do that though. Generally the left doesn't require you to live a certain way, where's the religious right loves to force their version of laws on others. Where I think the progressives lost the plot is focusing on reacting to the far right, vs focusing on making people's lives better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think he has burned bridges with any lawyer with the skills to do that. Who'd have thought stiffing people on their fees over your life would come back to bite you? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
