Which Generation Are You? (poll and comment)

[greenlikemoney]

I remember in primary school a coleague getting caned for not paying attention to the teacher. My primary school teacher was hardcore, had everyone! reading my christmas in first grade, she knew how to teach! My neighbours kid is 8 or 9 and he can barely read fluently and doesnt know how old someone born in 1986 would be today, not even trying to count on his fucking fingers. I like the kid and kick the ball with him sometimes but no fucking comment.

By the age of 11 I could cook, cut grass ( with a push mower to my Fathers satisfaction ) drive a standard ( if need be ) and wash my own clothes ( if need be )....we had it sooooo fuckin' easy.

We used to get paddled in school, even in HS...In HS we were given a choice, paddle or tell your folks...we always took the paddling

I cut many of my own switches from the forests edge.

The first time you thought you were slick getting the thinnest one you could find, only to find out that's the one they wanted. I would come back with branches and logs after that.

Paddling? Oh no, it might hurt Gen X/Y/Z'ers feelings.....

I bet the Bigsby would have posted some funny ass picture with a comment that would make it relevant to the situation.
Anyone know what happened to his generation, and him for that matter?!

Man using the diminutive Bucky to make him sound less scary DID NOT work!

Oh dear God, most boomers were too young for nam and too old for anything later. Take a History class next semester.

Kind of a weak strawman there. The draft was law of the land at the time and had been for decades. The requirement for males to register with selective service within 30 days of 18th B-day is still law. There were quite a few that did enlist prior to being drafted, the rest of the needed bodies were drafted, myself included. I couldn't quite build up the righteous indignation that my father did for his war, mainly because we weren't attacked. I didn't dodge, which you damn, and seem to damn those who were drafted. Guess us old twats just can't do anything right, huh? BTW, what does Ted Nugent have to do with anything?

I'll let my uncle know that he wasn't in Vietnam. Born in 1950, drafted in '68. Thanks for trying though.

Man you guys have no sense of humor at all. Did you guys forget to drink you Ensure and take your centrum silver this morning?
