Our generation needs a struggle.

[MJ12]

Uh, we don't need something bad to happen to us like WWII, but people of this generation take everything for granted and are spoiled shitless.

 

[kirovman]

Why does it have to happen to us, why can't the baby boomers get hit?
They are the most unethical of the lot.

No, actually it's going to be beautiful. They will live to see the fruits of their lack of labor. Not only that but they'll be old, decrepit, spoiled, and waiting for their social security checks when it all comes crashing down. I wouldn't be surprised if the younger generation blames them and turns on them. Can't say they wouldn't deserve it.

Speaking of struggle, oil closed over $100 for the first time ever.

Anyone who thinks we need another war is living proof that humanity does not learn from its mistakes.

I suppose it comes down to which is worse, a boring life or a painfull and/or short one. Some kind of actual threat, while being exciting and character building, will cost lives. And to yearn for something like that to happen, implies that you think it's worth those lives. I you really want a struggle that much, go and find one.

I can see what you mean about society growing soft, government-dependent, apathetic and generally boring though. It's true that struggle makes a better person of you, but again, tell that to a WWII veteran.

Agreed. By that time, we'll <(U.S. citizens) be using dollar bills with Mao Tung on them instead of George Washington since China basically owns the U.S. now since it's been in trillions of dollars of debt with China for years due to poor trade practices.

In the meantime, our generation here in the U.S. has outsourcing to deal with, which sucks enough thank you very much.

By that time China will be outsourcing into the US.

You do need a struggle in life, joy is meaningless without sadness and vice versa.

If everything comes easy you end up depressed and is a major factor in western depression.

You are only truly living when battling against the odds to survive and thriving.
Our brains have evolved to this truth, anything to off balance the 'ying and yang' of life and you will be discontent.

If you are not presented with challenges in life, seek them out.

 

[Druckles]

Where's our WWII?

1945, you miss it?

As for a new war, screw you backwards man! War is so last century. The aim of society now is to attempt to live at peace with one another and settle things democratically.

Oh, and we did have a war. Like 2 years ago, you miss that one too?

 

[jverne]

i seriously hope nothing bad will happen and we'll go on living for the better.

seriously, anyone who thinks it's cool to be involved in a full scale war is a ignorant war monger.

grow a brain and learn how war looks in reality...hint...look in Africa. there you are extremely lucky if you get killed by a bullet in the head, most of the time it's painful, blunt machete death. that is if some damn parasite or disease doesn't slowly kill you first.

I'd like to continue the struggle in bed with my girl

But as long as I could have a curry afterwards, Id be happy
