About time you stopped reading the Socialist Worker and stepped out from behind your narrow bigoted view and own sense of victimhood.

It's no sin to be born in the gutter but it is a terrible sin wanting to remain there
Spot on attitude.

Twizz is one of life's losers....his nasty, resentful self serving hatred of the better off is really jealousy of the better equipped.
He hasn't worked out that it's not what you get given that makes life successful but what you yourself create that is the measure.

Twizzle is a 'he'?

He/she announces him/herself as a woman.

All I know is that he/she is a bit odd. Then again, perhaps he/she is one of those 'unsure what gender I am' people!

Anyway, back on topic, most of those who blame the ills of the world on 'baby boomers' are 'snowflakes', so I believe.

We should try to remember that young snowflakes are still growing up and, as such, believe that they know better than their elders.

What the poor little dears don't seem to realise that they themselves will one day become 'old farts' and, consequently, will themselves be blamed for the ills of the world by the up and coming young snowflakes

There have always been know-it-all teenagers, but in the old days they knew their place or suffered a well-deserved clip around the ear.

The one with just a handful of men? I think that's last of the summer wine

In Brave New World they grow designer babies in test tubes for specific roles in society. I think Deltas are manual workers. Along with Bradbury he was a great visionary. I mean they wrote their books in the 30s.

Re: Blame Game on Baby Boomers.

Ah, I was thinking of War of the Worlds (the album)
Let's start all over again!
Yes I know that was HG Wells.

Twizzle was my nickname at school after the TV program and because my friend couldn't pronounce my name properly. Just think I would have been Twizzle if the name hadn't been taken !
On here I was known as Twiz(ard) for ages.
Don't dis the Twizs!
Can't be bad coming from Somerset!

Re: Blame Game on Baby Boomers.

Do you mean this Tessa? Is it part of the "old farts" theme?

In this instance it's a person who thinks they are better than anyone else. Allegedly they have great personalities, are very intelligent and are the best at everything. In short, up their own arses.

Nothing like a mere `Gamma` like me who is the equivalent of an uneducated pleb who apparently tends to talk about subjects I know nothing about.
