  • By the way, Greg is banned, but not over religious issues.  His rudeness to the forum owner passed what Matthew was willing to tolerate.

    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.

  • While you may not be of the physical age of the typical boomer, your lack of civility and inability to reason demonstrates the boomer mentality.

    So now boomerdom is a state of mind, is it? I take it then, TKGS, that your special superpower is to make reality conform to your whims. Tell me, what age or societal category, I wonder, do your rash judgment and jealous spite place you in?

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


    Many Nam Vets were.  

    Thank you for serving Claudel!

    Like moi, claudel is a VN Veteran.

    I thought Claudel was born during the war. But why don't people like him? I think he is one of the best posters here. I always like reading his posts. I think he can reason well enough though sometimes he does insult people. Though he has never insulted me.

    A very grateful tip of the hat to you three gents. Your comments are much appreciated!

    Read his posts above in this topic.  He's not a nice person and his insults are unnecessary.

    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.

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.

    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.
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

    ~St. Robert Bellarmine

    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”
    "Some preachers will keep silence about the truth, and others will trample it underfoot and deny it. Sanctity of life will be held in derision even by those who outwardly profess it, for in those days Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a true Pastor but a destroyer."  St. Francis of Assisi

  • 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.

    You were born in 1946 or 1945. The former is the Boomer gen and the latter is where the Silents end. So even if you technically fall under the Silent category, you and your generation share mostly the same mentality as the Boomers. Let us not be deontological in our use of semantics. "Boomer" is a colloquial term for anyone over the age of 60 or so, and whose body hasn't yet taken the room temperature challenge (which is now almost the entirety of the Greatest Pawns generation) . That means you, too.

    If you're going to try to impress readers by using a voguish academic term to demonstrate the extent of your formal study and the breadth of your academic sophistication, you ought to choose a term that has relevance in the context into which you drag it. Unfortunately for you, "deontological" is here a fish out of water, and what its use demonstrates most significantly is your dishonesty and moral impoverishment. You underscore your shallowness and inadequacy rather than any intellectual formation worthy of the name.

    Talk about grasping at straws! Here are how these pitiably desperate sentences translate into plain English. "Since I am wrong on the facts, I'd better now declare, with Humpty Dumpty, that words mean whatever I want them to mean. I'm certainly not going to let some old jerk cause me to lose face! I mean, he has no intersectionality at all! Besides, I can always count on my fellow preteens here at CI to snigger along with me. Dude, it's so cool to be based!"

    By the way, since you have shown yourself to be so extraordinarily age-conscious, how about confessing your own chronological age, girly-boy? I already know your maturational age, of course.

    Indeed, the otherwise-bombastic pseudointellectual shows his true colors by diving into the sewer with this puerile insult.

    If this were my forum, I would ban the guy for this comment alone.  Croix got banned for less.

    You're proud of your conformity with the Establishment Narrative, aren't you? And you think that being able to do rudimentary addition and subtraction makes you a generational standout, don't you?

    But hold on there. You're going to have explain to me how anyone born in 1946 can be seventy-five in 2020—at least if you're using a 10-base number system.

    Deontologically speaking, you've eaten one bowel of sour grapes too many, oh, Boomer.
