Look at the chart provided by Incredulous. Then drop us a line when your testicles finally descend, little girly-boy.
Disgusting.

Technically speaking Claudel may be from the "Silent Generation" .

Many Nam Vets were.  

Thank you for serving Claudel!



Interesting graph, but I'm not sure how much the idea of naming "generations" as if they were separate classes of people really makes sense. Maybe with the Boomer generation it makes some sense, because that generation is defined by objective, concrete events, namely the end of World War II and the subsequent large number of children produced by people of a similar age group. But after that ... I dunno, I don't see any objective basis for subsequent names of generations.
.
From the Iliad of Homer, and ancient Greek epic poem: Like the generations of leaves, the lives of mortal men. Now the wind scatters the old leaves across the earth, now the living timber bursts with the new buds and spring comes round again. And so with men: as one generation comes to life, another dies away.

Absolutely true. Greg was outspoken and deliberately provocative at times, and he was intolerant of anything that he considered sanctimonious or just plain stupid. He seemed to enjoy creating controversy, and as a result, almost everyone sparred with him at some point or another. But he used his material success and prosperity in a manner consistent with the corporal works of mercy. His generosity with employment advice and concrete offers of job assistance has had no parallel here at CathInfo. For that reason alone, I admired him and regret his absence (well, sometimes). Moreover, I think that the malice and contempt for Greg that some people here are still ready and willing to express says a great deal more about them than about him.

I miss Greg and his witty contributions, though others might describe his posts otherwise. I do understand why he was banned though (he could be quite rude at times).

He sometimes played the devil's advocate; or just voiced an opposing view, which, as I know full well, doesn't go over very well here.

Father Ripperger has a great lecture on the “generational spirits” and the theme is that each generation is worse than the one before it.  

He gives one word to explain the current generation:

“Depravity”

For those who were wondering like moi about the connection between Spork and the Jєωιѕн emblems see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spork
Where in this article does it say anything at all about Jєωιѕн emblems?

I dislike sporks on general principles --- they are made to do two things, and don't do a good job of either one of those things --- but I really don't think they are part of the "Jake Ewe".

That Japanese spork towards the bottom of the page would actually be a better idea --- a full spoon with fork tines protruding from the rounded edge.
