Science tells us that our upbringing defines a lot of what and who we become, DNA represents the rest.
What sort of start in life did you get?

I personally believe that through baby boomers, broken homes and the Great Recession there is in development a new man of the west. The neo-sensible.

Unconventional, and mostly not in a particularly good way.

It's a wonder how I turned out as well balanced and normal as I did.

What strikes me about the children of broken homes is how unlike Kevin and Perry they are.

And on a similar note Club 18-30 has just closed down for business. If you look past the decadence and silliness of Trump and the old people there are subtle signs of the west getting its act together.

A carefree happy childhood, with the expected challenges of growing up in a large family....the scraps with sisters...the rows with parents during teenage years.
All normal ups and downs....wouldn't change a thing....have great parents bouquet

The end of club 18-30 represents the turning of the tide. Club 18-30 began in 1970 when the oldest boomer was 25, it was the true beginning of our infantilised society and it’s subsequent decline.

The aim now is to build on this. The infantilised world is banal, old-fashioned and uncool and our future is to be like absolutely fabulous, by rebelling against and refusing to be like the older generation you become the higher quality person and better citizen.

To be honest , I've had a good life.
It was tough when I was a child, not having my parents around in my early years , but I realised the sacrifices they made to give us a better life .

And before considering myself a wild optimist one must remember that the greatest generation came from broken homes. There was a reasonable chance that at least one of your parents starved to death or died in battle but the greatest generation were not a disgrace. To have the worst start in life is not necessarily, or even very often, a bad thing for civilisation.

I was a free range kid. Left the house in the morning and never came home till dark and never ever let the parents find out what I done throughout the day.

I always was bullied by the other kids, cuz I had glasses and some difficulty with speaking, but I was the most intelligent kid in school. They saw me like an idiot, I guess. So I used to play alone. Actually I could read, write and calculate when I was only three years old, but in my time people started learning at school when they were seven.
So during my youth I only liked two things, reading and playing chess, and later also hard rock / heavy metal and bicycling.
When I went for a trip on my bike I used to cycle at least 150 km.

The unintended consequence of the Great Recession, Trump and Brexit is kids learning to count and bothering to vote. The kids didn't ask to fight against any of these things nevertheless the fight is for their own good.


Essentially withTrump making a moron look terrible and without easy money we can end cool to be thick. That 50 year old avoidance of decency, thought and long words which first gave birth to cocaine-induced greed is good in the 1980s, and then the selfish moral blank of a nationalist president who fails to turn up for Remembrance Sunday.

This is something I have observed too. Usually the ''favourite'' walks away when parents need him/ her and the one that got pushed aside is the one having to deal with elderly parents.

I'll just put them all in a home and have the State finish them off.
