No one paid attention THEN, I hope they are paying attention now where the new sexy is to remove mathematics. Thereby guaranteeing the US population are no better than drones...
Is it that they are ignorant, or just want a country that is completely different because they "think" it will be better for them ? And it isn't just the younger individuals that think this way, I know several late (? 65) boomers from a certain ideology that do as well.

I live alone in a 3-bedroom+Den and I don't find it to be too much. It's a comfortable amount of space but certainly not over the top.

If I lived in a house with 5 bedrooms, I'd be combining adjacent bedrooms with doors between them to turn them into suites. If you have space, you'll figure out how to use it.

Thats hilarious isn’t it? A fashion style depicted by someone who is a 42 tall deliberately wearing a 40 short, with no socks ….

And to think that years ago when we noticed someone wearing “high waters”, we just had no idea that they were actually fashion geniuses way ahead of their time.

Being 6'6 I wish it had been popular earlier.

Finding clothes for tall folks was rough when all you had was the local Sears/Pennys/etc.

And if you have nothing else to say on this topic, except for your child trolling, then it's better to keep quiet.
No way I'm going to keep quiet and risk missing more of your hilarious lost-in-translation insults. "overheat my last brains" You're probably saying things that are very insulting in Russian but in English you sound like the French knights in Holy Grail - "Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of eldeberries" You won't get that but it doesn't matter.

If I want to fill the parlor with hookers and blow and cover the garage with dirt and grow radishes it's nobody's business but mine. If you continue to show disapproval I'll sell it and buy a ten bedroom house and make an indoor gun range out of it. There will still be hookers and blow there too of course.

You see the kind of back-pressure this gets you?
Funniest damned thing I’ve read in ages. ROTFLMAO.

If you buy that 10 bedroom, can I rent a room? Not sure which I enjoy more, radishes or hookers or blow

Oh, hell, that's an extremely complicated piece of history - which technically included two separate changes in government - with a lot of moving parts that are easily mixed up. I wouldn't fault anyone for not knowing the details.

I'm not into hookers or blow, but if you pan fry radishes with onions in butter, they taste like hash browns.

The trouble is, the vast majority have been totally brainwashed by the same system that began its life at the turn of the last century. Since then, this Ponzi-pyramid scheme otherwise known as the Federal Reserve System (which is not federal, nor has any reserves) has operated for 100 years, extracting the nation’s and the people’s wealth, slowly, but surely, leading to what was predestined right from the moment of its inception.

The so-called “boomers” didn’t create this system … they just flourished in it because of two basic reasons … the first is, the timing. The system hadn’t accumulated enough debt at that point in time to impede financial prosperity for those willing to work and produce and enjoy the benefits of their labor. Secondly, people were not indoctrinated into these Marxist false beliefs that socialism was the answer to society’s problems. In fact, the kiss of death was inextricably tied to even the rumor that a political figure was a socialist, because we could all see the degradation endemic to socialism, because we witnessed it, first from the National Socialists of Germany (Nazis), and soon after, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic.

Fast forward to today, and half of the nation have been brainwashed into being favorable to socialism. Hell, the Democrat Party might as well rename itself as the Communist Party of America, though the name is already spoken for by the small contingent that still manages the organization. They failed, but channeled their support to the democrat party.

When I fist started reading some of the posts on this thread, I first thought it was a parody, like something you’d find on The Onion, until I realized it wasn’t. So, here is a list of things that are much higher on the blame schedule than just idiotically assigning it to a particular generation referred to as “baby boomers”:

1) the complete lack of knowledge and understanding of history by those generations coming after the boomers.

2) the arrested development of young males who spend more time on skateboards, playing video games, and looking for the latest trend in metro sexual fashion, and how to twirl their hair into man buns.

3) the belief that a carefree, work free lifestyle is owed to them, simply because their mothers got pregnant and didn’t abort them out of pure convenience.

4) those whose ultimate career goal is to be the worlds greatest snow boarders, signing lucrative endorsement contracts so they can live their entire lives as permanent teenagers, or become instagram influencers who teach others all about life, even though they don’t know any more about life than the average baby boomer when they were 10 years old.

5) that everything should be free … because the idea that one must work to gain prosperity in life is an obsolete concept, and not fair or very much fun.

6) when they fail, it’s always someone else’s fault, guaranteeing that they will never learn from their own mistakes, because they never make any.
