You're so full of shit.
And what about you, always assuming I'm making judgements on you and whatnot just because I'm a boomer?
Oh, excuse me. I forgot, you are "enlightened" and don't "need" this website anymore because you're evidently too good for it.

I really don't understand your anger or why you are attacking me. It doesn't make any sense. So go take a Prozac or smoke some pot or j**k off or something.

Nice mouth, honey! Why don't you slide me a smoke from the pack you've got tucked in the sleeve of your t-shirt? :lol:

To the rest of you reasonable people, I apologize for shouting.

No problem, I enjoyed it. However, if you had not been revving the engine of your hog, I might have heard you a little better. :lol: :lol: :lol:


BTW, what the heck is going on here? You two are headed for the steel cage match.

After such a long e-affair with TFT I have to say goodbye and this is the time to do so.

Justin/Chet:

How many times have I heard that in the last nine months?

Yawn.

Make up your collective mind already, dude. Sh*t or get off the pot.

If you want to discuss stuff here with us, great. Don't expect people to always agree with you, though. I get ticked off at certain people here all the time. But I'm not going anywhere.

And if you want to leave, so be it. I will miss your posts. I think you have interesting things to add to the conversation.

To be frank, though, your sarcastic hissy fits are annoying.

Whatever.

Look at this, Justin. You even have Kiff giving you a hard time. What is wrong with you, boy?

i havent posted much but I lurk around. Flaming is dumb. Get a grip, dude.

I am defintly picking up some kind of sexual tension between you 2 disgising it's self as anger and if i were you i think you both need to get it all out of your system.
My suggestion is a cozey bed instead of a steel cage.
HAHAHAHA

This is getting dumb....make up your mind Justin/Chet/whatever....are you going to stay and post like a civilized person, or pout like a six year old "Yer" threatening to leave...and then come back two days later. We appreciate your discussions, but you don't have to use the "f-bomb" to get our attention.

Are you addressing Justin or me? It is unclear since you quoted my post. If you are addressing me, then get a grip, douche. I wasn't flaming anybody and Susan (Helio) knows full well I wasn't.

i meant Chet and Helio, i thought that was clear.

Chet and Heliotrope.

Marc Lamb and Brian Rush.

Stonewall Patton and Takescar.

Lots of fireworks on the board this summer.

I wonder if it's some poison being put in the air by terrorists?

It sure does seem like this board's usually civilized mood is under strain these days, doesn't it?

Sorry about my part in that, all--I didn't mean to add fuel to the fire.

(but Mommy, I didn't start it!)

When attacked unjustly, I defend myself.
It's human nature.
After all, we're animals and that's what animals do.

But usually I'm not real good with confrontation and prefer to avoid it.

I'll ignore Ryan Stone's insinuation.

You're right, Heliotrope. I've thought that the posters have been pretty testy for a few months, now. Big change from the Post 911 six months or so.

When I first started lurking and reading T4T, Barbara posted alot, and she was a positive voice. She added alot to the discussion.

These are confusing times.

Well, actually that was meant to be a facetious comment. Perhaps I should have used a :wink:
But, you never know.

Yeah, I miss Barbara too. She was cool. I wish my own mother had been more like her.
Barbara couldn't stand all the arguing, which I think is why she left. She'd really hate it here now!

Nah, it's the dog days of summer getting to folks. :smile:

I don't want to leave you uncivilized, but it's obviously time. If I can get off this I can get off anything. I am sorry. You are right about the sexual tension guys. You don't even want to know about this box.But none of this exists anymore.
Disconnect.

You keep coming back to say you're leaving again. But I bet you'll be back in a few days with a new handle. But maybe you'll really do it this time.

May I suggest trying a different writing style next time so everyone won't immediately guess it's you.

I've really enjoyed your posts (except those last two mean ones), and so have a lot of folks here. It's too bad you feel you have to leave, but do what you must. I understand about that other thing. That kind of frustration can be a real fly in the ointment. But best not to go there.

Good luck. That's sincere, not sarcastic, btw.

I hope you change your mind when you work things out.

I don't enjoy Justin's whinny posts. I hope the jerk stays gone.

"So go take a Prozac or smoke some pot or j**k off or something."

Is this a generational thing? One archetype in particular, or does it apply across the board for all generations. Perhaps one choice, of the above, per generation, thus leaving the poor Artist archetype (who gets "none of the above") to thus shower them all upon their happless kids... again.

Pretty funny, these daggone circles. :lol:

I would say if anything, Hero is the one left out.

Artists: Prozac (boomers too)

Prophets: smoke pot

Nomads: J**ck off

Of course, they could be interchangeable and apply across the board too.

Heroes? They might form a committee. :smile:

There's no C in "Jerk" which isn't really a swear word anyway.

Committees?

The GI Heros formed Elks Clubs, joined the Masons, belonged to the VFW or the American Legion. Very mind altering.

1946 - 1957: baby BOOM (nuff said :smile

1977 (or 1976, or 1979) - 1984 (or 1986): stagnation at the X/Mill cusp
1985 (or 1987) or later: Millies

What's surprising is just how well this lines up with the archetypal generational boundaries (although Justin '79 and Mark Y might disagree here...)

I'm in fairly good agrement with your dates...in fact, for the most part, they are virtually on the money.

Pre-1940 Silent
1940-45 Boom Leaders
1946-56 Generation "W"
1957-63 Generation Jones
1964-74 Generation "X"
1975-81 Net Gen
1982-?? Generation "Y"

we pretty much agree until around 1980; each year after that it seems like our estimates are further and further off tho...

Whew!
Looks like things on this thread are finally getting back to normal.

Were these organizations founded by GIs or did older generations form them for GIs.

Case in point about an organization that I know a lot about. The founder of Toastmasters International, Ralph Smedley, was born in 1878, making him a Missionary (Prophet). In 1924 he founded Toastmasters to help young men improve their presentation skills.
