Do you really want to eat all the accumulated toxins from the diet of Taco Bell beef burritos these wingnuts eat? You can keep your wingnut long pork, I’d rather rip the flesh off a vegetarian.

How in God’s name are we going to explain this shit to our children?
Ask your cloning vat.

I’d probably have to say something like, “Well, kids, you can lay it all at the feet of people like that fat bastard next door with the fading “W’04″ sticker on the back of his SUV-conversion mule cart. Tell you what… grab your crossbows and help Dad take him down, and we’ll eat long pork for a week!”

Seems to me that if we live our children copies of Resident Evil and Night of the Living Dead they should be able to handle the zombie menace just fine.

After we explain to the children about Senator Vitter, we tell them that George Bush used the Bill of Rights as a diaper?

It’s not a car… it translates literally to “mouth intercourse” or “mouth sex”. Chinese is a fun language!

How do you say hummer in Chinese?

??

Pronounced “kou3 jiao1?. You’re welcome.

Is that “Hummer,” or is that “hummer?” I’d hate to ask for the wrong thing at a car dealership!

Ah hell, the Chinese characters came through as question marks.

Sure they did, IITCB. [Pat pat] Suuuuure they did. :-P

justme, you don’t know my kids or their friends.

They are bright, hardworking (they have a much better work ethic than I did when I was their age) and sincere. I also work with plenty of kids fresh from college. There’s nothing wrong with any of ‘em.

YMMV but I can tell you you’re way off base with the kids I know.

I dread the idea that my kids won’t have the opportunities I did growing up but I guarantee you they’ll make best use of the tools they have. I fucking hate it that we’re handing them a bag of shit with a bow on it for their heritage but I also believe they’re more prepared to make the necessary sacrifices to survive it.

Not that they’ll have a choice.

Lawnguylander,

Quite the contrary. You’re seriously misreading me. I hardly say that we can assuage our guilt, rather that the fact that we’ve done such an incredibly poor job of preparing the next generations adds to it exponentially. Nothing says “fuck you in the ear” like burning down your house, robbing your bank, blowing up your hospital and giving you zero in the way of tools and knowledge to fix it.

So, yes, they are unworthy little shits, for the most part. I suppose, though, that as much can always be said for the incoming generation, and that it’s largely what they make of the mess handed them that defines them. That said, I don’t think one can make much of an argument for a rising curve, beginning perhaps before my own lot.

I’d say more, but i have to bolt.

Oh, and get off my lawn, you whippersnapper.

I don’t much want the window seat to history either. I’ve got no survival skills for a post-economy world. I’ll be dead in a gutter about 90 seconds after everything goes to hell, and I really, really don’t wanna be dead in a gutter.

I know how to make booze.

I think that’s probably my only valuable skill in the post-economy world.

It looks like we're not the only ones worried. Bill Frist wants to wall out the incoming zombies. Bush's Crawford Casa de Booze is completly self-sustaining and I think we can assume the security is good.

Yeah, justme, the best way to assuage our guilt about the world we’re leaving to the young uns is to start preemptively bashing them as being unworthy little shits. We can’t say any of the mess is their fault but fuck them in the ear anyhow. Fuck ‘em in the other ear too. They deserve this shit. Little brats with their video games, baggy jeans and their hip hop “music”. Go ahead you little fuckers, never mind all the broken glass and the hypodermic needles, play on our burnt out, weed infested lawn. See if we care.

Well, they should have impeached Bill over his Hummers. Damn things are gas guzzlers, they hog the road, they hog parking spots, they endanger smaller cars on the road. The fact that Clinton enjoyed having MULTIPLE Hummers only…

What?

It doesn’t?

It means WHAT?

Ahem

Never mind…

Explain this shit to our children? Not to spread the rainbows and ponies too thick, but has anybody taken a good look at “the children”? Explaining that fire is hot is going to be tough enough. Expecting them to understand anything more than the fact that the entitlement they have grown up believing in, that anything they desire is simply owed to them, is a lie is likely asking way too much.

And this is who is going to pay in to my Social Security fund? Hell, the Republicans didn’t need to privatize it to destroy it. One solid generation of ignorant, overly entitled and ill prepared youth ought to do the trick just fine.

But I’m not bitter, or anything.
