Bushes Prime time appeal

[banca rotta]

That attitude is not going to help make things better...kind of like Bush making enemies, causing problems & resolving nothing.

When their country's get invaded and they need our troops to to risk life and limb I bet they will "like Americans". When by your's and Obama's admission we send jobs and money over there to buy their products they "like Americans".

You should consider relocating to another country when you get tired of pushing your shopping cart full of empty plastic bottles to the bread and soup lines that we are currently experiencing.

It will be easy for you to relocate since there are no lines to get in anywhere except America. I can't imagine why.

Generation X ( me) is the first wave of kids from the Boomers. The "millenials' are the second wave of kids from the Boomers.

Generation X is less tolerant of Corporate America because we learned that corporate America will not be there for the employee and corporate America is not dedicated to retirement and longterm welfare of employees( learned by either watching our parents or through personal experience.

Additionally,

Divorce rates are DOWN not UP for X'ers than they were for Boomers. Two reasons given are are Gen X does not want to go through what their parents did and more people are choosing to live together rather than marriage.

Boomer children calling and asking their parents their OPINON, be thankful they value your input. It's also a sign of intelligence to seek help from someone that has been there. However, we could "Just" have sitters raise our children or grandparents raise them as several Boomers did?

Worried about kids moving back in? It's nice to know Generation X and the Milleniums are the first generation to have a standard of living below their parents.

The industrial revolution is no longer available to the Generations below the Boomers where they pay 27.00/hr for building automobiles or 30.hr to take coal out of the ground both which require no additional education other than high school or on the job training.
"Gen Xers also are the first generation to graduate from college with significant student loan debt. About 20% of adults in their 30s are still paying college loans, according to the Federal Reserve study; the median balance exceeds $13,000. Yet, even as Gen Xers continue to grapple with college debt, experts tell them they need to be putting aside money for retirement, as well as for college savings for their children.

GEN X: "This generation is in the ironic position of paying for their own student loans and feeling the pressure to put away for their own kids for college," says Tamara Draut, a Gen Xer herself, a new mom and author of Strapped: Why America's 20- and 30-Somethings Can't Get Ahead. "

Boomers are also choosing to stay in the workforce longer rather than retire.. This leaves little opportunity in the workforce for a younger generation to move forward.

I fully agree with everything about being taught a win-win situation. When I was teaching soccer for the AYSO. Parents loved it when I told the kids they were losing( I wasn't supposed to) However, these young kids knew they were losing even though we didn't officially keep score.

Very well said! I have a lot of hope for gen xr's. The boomers are by far more childish then their kids because that's how the boomers were raised. "Gimmie, gimmie, more", "I'm entitled", "oh My!!". Get a look at the sixties. Who the hell sings their way out of problems except the boomers? LOL
The xr's see right through the crap, especially the corporate bs and will be better prepared for it.

No. You should consider moving to another country and stop trying to blame it all on the tiny little people when you can't handle the truth about bushboy and global affairs with little tolerance for those who disagree with you. You sure do not handle problems very well when all you can come up with is bashing on me and telling people to move.

It is the american & global politicians who have caused it and allow it to continue. Stop blaming the little guys who have nothing and no say on what happens.

Thanks banca. I now have a concern with the generation we( Genx) or I am raising.This may not be a big deal. However, it seems we have an electronic leash on our kids. They have cell phones, we can look at their grades online. I can look at my teenagers records and tell if she has not turned in an assignment or if she has been late to a class. Gone are the days when kids can get away with things like I or kids did before. I can call her or him at any time to see where they are or what they are doing. I don't know if it's healthy or does them any good in the long run to be that involved. Before anyone jumps on me about the kid having a cell phone.. for an extra 10.00 a month and shared family plan it is easier. This also teachers her responsibility. If we go over our minutes because of her. She loses her cell phone.
