I'm not sure where you live or your age range but the boomers (actual boomers) in my country had incredible opportunity. Any young man working 3-5 years up until the late 80s could easily save up to buy a house outright by living at home with their parents. Even until the mid 2000s housing was still relatively cheap. Obviously before the 90s it was much easier than the early 2000s but things hadn't gone full ponzi just yet. Schooling was also much cheaper. Schools actually taught you skills back then, I know boomers who learnt real life skills in their public schools, unlike mine which had extremely basic cooking, metal and wood working classed (the cooking classes were crap). Personally I don't like modern wood working, there is something very relaxing about creating works made from wood by hand without using powered machinery. Those extremely fast rotating blades are very dangerous and the fine particles is very bad for the lungs.

My boomer parents could fill a shopping cart with meats, cheese and other 'real' foods for under $100 to feed a small family, filling up the tank in their car also cost them less than $20 a week. They may have made less money but their money from a single income (in the 80s) was still enough for a small family to have it good. I don't know about your circuмstances but most boomers do not match what you said.

I think they meant 1960

Too many Charlie Kirk threads.

I started the one seeing that "oh wow, Charlie Kirk is dead" and then had to go to work. Unfortunately, it has devolved into madness with a new wacko thread every 3 hours.

I tell people all the time that they're overanalyzing, that they're thinking too hard. And with this, they absolutely are. Charlie Kirk was shot in the neck and died right there, no reports or confirmation needed. A bullet wound there is not survivable. The end. Someone like him in today's age could not just randomly go into hiding somewhere and not be caught. Be serious right now.

How about if any discussion that may scare away potential converts be moved and kept in the members only section?

Yes! You bring up a crucial problem. I was thinking that after the rainboo Pilgrimage  more Catholics are looking for the TRUE RELIGION, and they might visit CI. For 3 months the tone here has improved a bit  ...like more respectful, less name calling  and then came CKirk!  
Plus aren't there some Forum rules that say: do not post antiCatholic opinions etc. Today, someone posted about advice for why he shouldn't join the Orthodox 'church'...! ? 
 
Geremia had a great post re Searching for PDFs, AI material...she said something like' CathInfo would become more scholarly'...Chances are kindda slim for that, but we can pray and hope for an influx of serious Thinkers. Good solid reading goes a long way  No?
