Please make the next sound a death rattle. I think the person preceding you has already bitten it because they seem non-responsive/incoherent. Luv n Respect 2 all the Boomers out there who know well enough to understand internalizing healthy shame. ---

For someone who “doesn’t believe in the concept of generations”, the OP sure does have a lot of nonsense to say about particular generations. ---

Aw. Wishing death on your fellow posters, isn’t that cute. ---

I’m really getting tired of all these chipmunks in my yard. It’s got so bad I keep my cat indoors and I’ve scattered bits of fruit and little saucers of peanuts around, all with sarcastic notes pinned to them making fun of the little fuckers, BUT THEY WON’T GO AWAY!!! Oh how I wish I could do something about these damn chipmunks. ---

Have we had bigotry so blatant on this board before? I can’t recall any pro-lynching posts before now. Oh, and FYI, when you are banned, you’re not going to be a martyr. You will have accomplished literally nothing to fix the problems you claim to care about. You will have just alienated potential allies because you had a beef with a poster who we all would have agreed is shitty ( **UrbanRedneck** ). As time goes by, if you’re even remotely legit, you’ll hate yourself for how you acted here. You’ll realize how dumb you acted. This is a universal part of the human experience, hating our younger selves for being so stupid. ---

Hmmph. Wellll… we _were_ the generation that kicked off the generation gap thing, proclaiming “never trust anyone over 30”. ---

Hahaha it’s funny because a lot of younger people struggle to lead what would conventionally be considered “respectable adult lives” and are un or underemployed. (my parents are dead btw) ---

“Never trust anyone over 30” is stupid, but coherent. Condemning ‘boomers’ while also saying ‘#NotAllBoomers’ is stupid _and_ incoherent. CMC fnord! ---

Misusing terms isn’t a great way for me to think you’re legitimate. You advocated killing people for being the wrong age. Either you will think this is stupid in the future, or we’ll see you in a newspaper as a murderer. I’m being nice by assuming the former. ---

If you can see past the very confrontational style, a lot of **Organism** ’s points are pretty true IMO. I think we probably have big differences on how to accomplish what needs to be accomplished, but at the end of the day I share many of the same frustrations about American politics. ---

The great thing about being a Boomer is that between the time it takes to read a post, be outraged and respond to it is that I have forgotten what it was I was outraged about. ![](https://media3.giphy.com/media/l2Je6Dyu1HfRNaeic/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611a34135d4336363a1df8c36d50ce220c8efa3a683&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g "Awkward Bart Simpson GIF - Find & Share on GIPHY") ---
