You'd think liberty would've made progress once these people became in charge. Instead, the opposite happened. We have a more repressive society now than we had 43 years ago.

The video is blocked but if it's about gen x'ers such as me I can tell you that in general they are a bunch of uninformed narrow minded conk fucks, confused by Reagan/greed/jingoistic mythology. If it's about another generation then by all means...carry on!

Wow... Earth-to-John
Okay NONE of those people are in charge
The guys who went to Law School while these kids partied and worked on their garden are in charge
Which is why we have what we have today - and always will

Well in that case I concur completely. Do carry on.

You're younger than me. But if I'm correct in thinking you were on a Northern Iowa team that had to play one of the Tracy Ham led Georgia Southern teams during one of their championship playoff runs not by that much. I don't have a scientific survey. But I think you know that an awful lot of people who used to rail against "the establishment" back in the day are now part of the establishment. People who did all sorts of things when they were young now want to throw other people in jail when they do the same thing.

I don't buy it. First, most of the people at Woodstock weren't real hippies. Most were the people who within a year or two took a shower, got a haircut and went to law school or business school. As for the others, you don't really think they were the ones who voted for Bush and Reagan, do you?

Gen X'ers rebelled against the values of their parents (baby boomers). The main reason why society is a much different place than it was back in the 50s and 60s...for better and for worse.

Just some questions for anyone:
How the heck did someone come up with Generation X?
What happen to generation W?
So we have Generrations X, Y and Z. Will the Generation after that be Generation AA?

Can you use Google, or do you need a Gen X'er to do it for you?

You missed a generation of rebels. Boomers rebelled against their parents (the Greatest Generation) and really kicked off the entitlement-oriented, me-first approach to life.

What you say hits upon the fact that the people in that video ... the young ones that is...are Baby Boomers...not Generation Xers. The "Baby Boom" involves people born during 1946 - 1964.
I don't know if they were "me first" at that stage. Thre was all that Peace and Love stuff. Anti-materialism. Then they generally grew up to become about as materialistic as materialistic can be. Also public health and safety fanatics and that has a lot to do with why they have been so repressive. At least I think so.
The real "me first" and "I'm special" stuff started with their children, I think. And I also think they're responsible for that.
I say "they" but I am a Baby Boomer. But I remember what it was like when we were young. For instance: I can't prove this but I would be very willing to bet that if you'd have taken a vote on legalizing marijuana among people in the 18 to 30 age group when I was in college you'd have gotten an overwhelming majority in favor. Heck, I think you'd have gotten that in favor of legalizing recreational drugs in general.
The mentality was very Libertarian. But it went away as that generation got older. In most of them anyway. Not me. I was Libertarian then and I"m Libertarian now.
