Our society is very complex, it is even more complex because humans are complex beings, who can only understand each other through power and domination. Being a player in modern society has nothing to do with merits anymore, but as our society grows even more complex, you still have some beautiful humans making a small but important contribution to mankind and society in general. Let's see how people are contributing in society through our poll.
Not in the best of health, but maintain gainful employment. I pay my taxes and stay within the boundaries of the law... Maybe someday I'll setout to be a superhero.

I contributed 38 years to healthcare services, got the golden handshake and now it's all about giving back to myself...it's my time now.
I honestly don't much care about my role in society nor do I care if anyone else is not happy that I don't care. I care about my day to day life and my family, my job and making myself happy. I don;t much care about "society."
I suppose my role at this point is to simply be a good person and try to convince my sons that it is worthwhile to refrain from hurting others and to do good.

Obstinance_Works: Tut tut, yet another Boomer parasite
well I guess that makes you one too then because as I over pay in taxes I could have posted exactly what you did up above lol
insulting others is against the rules BTW
Actually I am a little young to be a boomer they are technically about 5 yrs older than I am (give or take a few). Nonetheless boomers are hardly parasites. Most paid for their own college rather than reliance on tax funded programs because those programs were not as readily available back then. Most have been working or have worked for 35-45 years and will NEVER get back what we have paid into Social Security here in the states, and now they are talking about getting rid of it. So while we supported our elders, today's young people are doing what they can to get out of doing so it seems, even tho' someone has paid for your upbringing with both time and effort and hopefully love.
I am just glad everyday that I do not have your outlook on so many things. Thank you for that anyway

I wasn't only talking about tax, but how people make their money, and how generally interested in politics and society they are.
I'm not getting into the Boomer debate now. I'm not going into how your arguments in defence of Boomers are actually in start contradiction to the facts. But then again you're the establishment now so you can cherrypick the facts. You get more out of the welfare state you'll pay in, when boomers were my age they worked fewer hours in better conditions with more(if not all)of their education paid for and the major things in life(such as a house)costing less money.

If you begin your working life when the welfare state is relatively small and retire when it is much larger(as the Boomers have)then you make a massive profit.
If you begin your working life when the welfare state is large and retire when it is much smaller(as it is likely to be for Millennials)then you make a massive loss.
And what's worse is that the Boomers didn't even honour the few years of full contributions they could have made. Their story is one of voting for the Left for privileges and benefits, and then voting for the right - not to relinquish this benefit - but to avoid paying the necessary tax. The Boomers have institutionalised inter-generational theft. I'm ahead of the curve on this and the boomers will hear a lot more like this throughout their retirement, mark my words.

I disagree with this premise - we do not understand each other only through power and domination. We understand each other through compassion, empathy and by understanding ourselves and our own nature..... jmo
