I know that you wanted this topic to end, but you're saying so many things that seem contradictory that I can't even see straight!!!!

First off... If you believe that our generation (I'm only 33) is going to be the first one to have it worse than our parents, then you're not doing something right. Many of my friends, my brother and my wife and I are all doing considerably better than our parents were when they were our respective ages (home ownership, job success, money, cars, toys, etc...) Just check out some of the recent posts about young members getting some of the greatest cars ever made!

Application of ones self and your talents/skills are the key to individual success. Learn not to expect to have/afford what someone two or three times your age has. I love hanging around this board and checking out the cars, but you'll notice that there's no COPO/YENKO etc.. in my signature. I choose to play within my current means, because that's what I can afford. Should I hold this against anyone? HELL NO!!! One day I plan to have one of those great cars (but I know that I've got to work my ass off to get it).

As far as "revolution" goes, if you want to see things in our country continue to spiral out of control on a moral and social level hold tight to your liberal views and ideals. If you really believe that revolution crap you espouse than check a single box in November (Republican).

No one is entitled to anything except their opinion. People work as hard as they desire to get what they want. Those that choose not to work as hard don't get as much as those that achieve. I thought the student with the 4.0 GPA analogy was perfect. What's satisfactory for one person may not be for another, that's why God made us individuals.

Hope you're not too disappointed with the responses from the "corporate rich" (anyone that makes $40,000 or more annually).

Remember "Baby Steps".You can't start out running.

I apologize for not spelling your name right. I tried to correct it but the edit feature passed.

You vote liberal consistently and sooner or later you will loose your guns and cars.


Bush BTW has a Harvard MBA-one of the very hardest and demanding MBA programs in the entire world. Harvard takes their MBA program very seriously and will let NO ONE skate through because of connections, political views or all the money in the world.

Don't even get me started on Bill "The Sinkmaster" Clinton

Don't put yourself in the position of attacking people who are more fortunate than yourself. It won't help you in the long run. You need to think from the point of view of how can you acquire what you want in life. Set realistic goals and find a way to achieve it. I've always wanted a 69 ZL1 Camaro from the first day I learned about them. I knew I would never really achieve that so I found something that I liked and was within reach. Then if you work hard, make some good investment decisions and have a little bit of good luck, you might be able to acquire what you thought you couldn't. The hardest part is learning where not to waste your money and time. No matter what, at the end of the day you need to sit back and relax to get a fresh prospective on things. OK, break time is up, get to work!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Excellent points Blair. I would add one thing: achieving more than our parents extends beyond material posessions. I for one, place a much higher value on a good marriage and time with the family in place of multiple homes, cars, yada yada... Nobody lays on their death bed and says; 'I wish I would have spent more hours at the office', or 'I wish I had bought some more garage space for my SuperCars'. So, work hard to satisfy your needs, and keep your wants and your family responsibilities in balance

[Mr. T]

I agree that we shouldn't jump to politics, that can turn into a real heated debate here. By the way, the word Liberal is not in my dictionary, so you know where I stand on politics. Enough said.

[skierkaj]

Politicians= Bums

that is a mathematical statement!

100% agreeance here!

Supergas . . .

I'm sorry for the misinterpretation, I meant my generation (I just turned 19).

I'm not satisfied with Bush's views on things . . . I'll hold to the Democrats for now.

As for your quote,

"Application of ones self and your talents/skills are the key to individual success. Learn not to expect to have/afford what someone two or three times your age has. I love hanging around this board and checking out the cars, but you'll notice that there's no COPO/YENKO etc.. in my signature. I choose to play within my current means, because that's what I can afford. Should I hold this against anyone? HELL NO!!! One day I plan to have one of those great cars (but I know that I've got to work my ass off to get it)."

I couldn't agree more. I'm in the same boat. I have what I have, and I'm working for what I don't have.

[Charley Lillard]

"Bush BTW has a Harvard MBA-one of the very hardest and demanding MBA programs in the entire world. Harvard takes their MBA program very seriously and will let NO ONE skate through because of connections, political views or all the money in the world.".... How can that possibly be ? I have listened to him struggle just trying to make a sentence.

Tell me where any of these points are wrong.

Then I'll tell you where you're wrong.

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

You are right Charley, academic credentials do not predict one's true ability - it just means that they have the ability to do well in school, not life! I'm sick of Ivy league MBA's and the like, show me someone who actually 'got it' when they were in school and can translate it into productive work and true people skills - then I'm impressed
