Ok guy. Think what you want. It's no skin off my nose.

And your point is.....?
That's precisely my point. It's a question that was asked in the furtherance of a specific and very obvious regime of intent. In that sense it was the epitome of intellectual dishonesty.

Is that you John Wayne? Is this me?
I wasn't being "smug," I was merely trying to disambiguate the point under discussion.
The fact that you took it that way says a lot more about you than it does about me.
Fair play. I live in Oregon where there are regularly required inspections and emissions testing.
Though granted, in rural counties pretty much anything goes.
Ah, I guess that makes sense. Here in Oregon, unless you live in a rural county, we have regular DEQ inspections and emissions testing.
Which is ironic considering that you guys are the ones always claiming that people can't handle having their views challenged.
Lol, that's not what they said at all. Somebody seems a little defensive.
As a guy wholly descended from the peoples of the British Isles, I have a similar feeling, only in my case, it really is true that my people have trashed the world for their personal benefit.
Granted that the Irish side of my family was never entirely on board.
I don't think OP is thinking that far into their future. I don't think OP has any plans for higher education either. It's been a few decades for me, but when I was an undergrad, if your pager went off in class --cell phones weren't really a thing yet-- most professors would ask you to leave, which was not a good thing in the small upper division classes as they were very difficult and you had to pass with a B or better to move on in my major.
Same. I don't even know why people shit on us. We've never really been in power, probably never will be --Obama is the closest thing we'll ever have to an Xer president and even then he's technically a boomer-- it's just a fact that in comparison to the boomers and millennials, demographically we've never mattered.
Our little window for demographic leadership, based on our coming into the age in which we'd ostensibly be capable of governance, was stomped on by the boomer gerontocracy and the rage of the far more numerous millennials.
The upshot is that us Xers never really had a real go at demographic power, and to the contrary, were left to pick up what scraps we could from the absolute mayhem that the boomers left us with.
