Dear Sir:

As the primary account-holder of the future which your generation has mortgaged, I would kindly request that you address all future payments to us, directly.

Additionally, it has come to our attention that your account is more than 90 days past due, and we must inform you that if you do not begin making payments immediately, we will be forced to turn over your debt to collections. If you do not respond, your future may be repossessed without further notice.

Sincerely,

Generation X



Dear Sir:

As always, Fuck You and thanks for the $700 Billion. We'll also be interested in changing more laws to make sure we don't retire and that you can't get promoted into the executive level jobs that you have waited for. We got them first, nyah nyah. Any attempt to disagree with the way we run things we be met with our votes, which will always outnumber yours.

Oh yeah, make sure you pay our kids right. Even if it's more than you ever made and bankrupts your company.

Yours,

Boomers.


Hmmm. Another comment whose wit is overshadowed only by its mean-spiritedness.

I guess I'll stick to threads about boring stuff like data base structures, algorithms, scaling, or adoption rates.

It's getting a little too hot in this one.


We're just joking around. Most of my colleagues are boomers. Try not to be so sensitive.

We all have our faults, but if you can't laugh at them, you're lost.


which your generation has mortgaged

Lumping me in with bandits in the same age group makes as much sense as blaming you for the shitty code I have to clean up because you happen to be a programmer.

Witty comment based on no logic whatsoever. Fail.


It was a joke, man.


<apology>

Sometimes it's hard to tell in writing.

Or maybe you struck a nerve.
