I promised to "post it to my weblog" but have since realized that I was going just a teensy bit overboard, so I can't just post my thoughts at the time without a qualification that I realize that I was seriously over-generalizing and making not all that much sense. People such as my parents should not be insulted by this please. It made sense to me at the time. I thought it had some basis in reality.
In any case, I'm pretty sure most readers would find it entertaining, so here it is, to the best of my recollection:
Me: You know what? It's time for the last generation to retire and let our generation fucking take over. They don't know what the hell they're doing.
Rob: Are you sure you want to make that statement? You think our generation is more qualified?
Me: Yes! Our generation is the only one who knows what the fuck they are doing. We are better than people in the generation ahead and the generation behind us.
Rob: (laughing openly) Really? You're saying that everyone in our generation is better than everyone in the generation before or after?
Me: I'm not saying they're perfect but yes. We are all better than our parents' generation or the douchebag kids graduating from college right now. Our parents' generation doesn't know how the hell to use any technology anything and all have sticks up their asses and can't do shit. The kids behind us are apathetic assholes who would shoot their own mom in the face for five dollars.
Rob: I think you may want to rethink these statements.
Me: I'm posting this on my weblog. You'll see.
Rob: (again, laughing at me) You go ahead. I'm sure you will.
You're welcome, folks. You're welcome.
