How did it work out for the hippies/counter culture of the 60’s? They’re a punch line now. Also, your kind have stopped having kids. Also, people are fleeing public schools by the millions.

They think by importing all those Christians from down south that they will all continue to vote for the rich white liberals and their lgbtq and anti family agenda. They also need to keep up the attacks on Christianity and telling people how stupid religion is. Should work out. But at least their lawns will get cut cheap.

Once these kids have responsibilities, including financial ones, their feelings change. It's easy to want to save the world when you are living with mommy and daddy and paying literally nothing to make these fantasies come true.

I honestly don't understand these generational monikers.... My point is simply that it is clear by things such as voting that people are constantly changing. This is one key reason why I oppose gender related mutilation of children. It's too drastic a change to a situation that is potentially rather temporary.

The problem is we don't move past the bickering and fingerpointing phase and to some actual changes or preparation. At this point I am over arguing over who caused what, I think we need to talk about either big changes or survival/infrastructure to deal with the changing coastlines and other things we are going to deal with. Problem with all these issues that effect everybody becoming political is it gets to the point where it's "I don't want to do anything because the other side is asking for it" nonsense and nothing gets done.

jerryskids 6,645 Posted January 30, 2023 The montage of celebrities flying private was funny; I did a spit take at the Dalai Lama. Also I had recently heard from Stossel the stat that Maher quoted: only 5% of plastic gets recycled; much of the rest ends up dumped in the ocean by Chiner. As such we've completely stopped recycling plastic - at least that way we're confident it ends up in a landfill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
