Probably not.

I'm not sure what, if anything, changed but the World War II generation seems to be grown up whereas the more recent generations seem to be in a state of permanent childhood. There are no rights of passage or trials by fire, we are all children. We're all soft and weak, myself included.

Well what do you expect from such a pampered society? Citizens tough as coffin nails? We're products of our environment.

My Economics professor was a pothead.  A Libertarian pothead no less.  He would literally lecture with his eyes closed and nod off once in awhile.  Nice guy though.

This is the correct namby pamby age.  We're the Generation X...we're cool and hip and trendy.  As much as I hate the man, Dr Victor Davis Hanson wrote a good book on the decline of the ideal of being a warrior in the west, how being a soldier is now seen as a vocation as opposed to a way of life and how that has affected modern life and politics.  It may be worth a read.

Honestly I blame the new age parental teachings that the baby Boomers brought into vogue in the 70s and the 80s.

I blame it on not overthrowing the Government and then killing everyone who disagreed with us and turning north America into a modern version of Afghanistan where we used Baptists heads to play soccer...

but thats just me.

Besides, everyone is going to get drafted for Iran anyway.  Or Iraq at least, so the vets who still have limbs can go to Iran and lose them there.  Assuming someone decides military actions is needed.

I'd like to throw my support behind this statement.
Also, to any smug economics teachers, I'd say--just wait until we bankrupt the social security systems and you have no pension, we'll all be laughing then.  :twisted:

the only little problem with that idea is that 99.9999% of humanity is comprised of worthless pieces of shit who aren't fit to breathe my air, let alone be allowed to "make it".

Because if they're drunk at home and screaming at the TV (which is showing "Trading Spouses goes to Compton"), they'll be out of your way.

No, initially we were too worried about survival to worry about anything else. In the grand scheme of things, this is a relatively recent development.

He's the man who invented television music challenges; calling celebrity couples by a single cute nickname; the madonna strap-on microphone; cell phones; blackberries; blogs; tony danza; bloggers; wine coolers; paris hilton; swiffer sweepers; *69; dreamworks; house remodeling programs; ebay; epcot; child models; vagina monologues; the new age; boy bands; fluorescent plastic slinkies; celebrity talk shows, emoticons; and the geodesic dome.
