    It’s true though. It WILL happen to you. I’ve been around long enough to see the full cycle over and over. In the 60s when I was kid, everyone was with “it,” now we’re all old f@rts who think those very same 60s values are weird and scary - peace? love? wokefulness? IT’S too horrible to think about!

      I think many millennials and zoomers recognize the hypocrisy of the boomers and the damage it’s done. I’m hopeful that we stand in stark contrast to those before us and refuse to falter in our ideals.

        I’m a millennial, but what is the hypocrisy you speak of? The world leaders are all armed with nukes and the choice was to either be homeless hippies who can’t feed themselves or cogs in the capitalism machine. Unless everyone is ready to have the revolution right this second, the status quo will always prevail.

      f@rts

      You’re allowed to say fart on the internet. You’re even allowed to say fart in real life.

        I just said f@rt in real life and now I have three weeks community service. Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

          It’s harder to say with the “@” symbol in it. And even harder to do it. WELL - on a side note, it’s weird how in American magazines they print the word “f*ck” but in magazines from other countries, they just print the word “fuck.” Like, here in America we’re so fragile we can’t handle seeing the actual word, and might be fooled into thinking maybe they were just trying to say something else.
