Thumbs up Good News for America - the age of Boomer degeneracy is coming to an end.

The stain of disgusting baby-boomers and their loose, Godless morals is being washed away as we younger, more virtuous Americans are taking our rightful place as the heart and soul of America.



Millennials Are Causing the U.S. Divorce Rate to Plummet

Quote:
Americans under the age of 45 have found a novel way to rebel against their elders: They’re staying married.

New data show younger couples are approaching relationships very differently from baby boomers, who married young, divorced, remarried and so on. Generation X and especially millennials are being pickier about who they marry, tying the knot at older ages when education, careers and finances are on track. The result is a U.S. divorce rate that dropped 18 percent from 2008 to 2016, according to an analysis by University of Maryland sociology professor Philip Cohen.

. . . .

Young people get the credit for fewer divorces because boomers have continued to divorce at unusually high rates, all the way into their 60s and 70s. From 1990 to 2015, according to Bowling Green’s National Center for Family and Marriage Research, the divorce rate doubled for people aged 55 to 64, and even tripled for Americans 65 and older.

. . . .

Today’s young couples don’t seem to be following the same path.

When my Godly wife and I say our evening prayers tonight, I will think of all of you STD-riddled geriatrics watching Andy Griffith reruns at the old folks' home and pray for your sinful souls.

I've been married to the same woman, my first and only wife, for over 32 years. Let me know when you get there junior.

And that made me realize that next Sept. 24th we will have been married 33.33 years. I'll have to set that date in my calendar.

Maybe it's because they're really smart.

Quote:

College students allegedly struggling to vote because some don't know how to obtain stamps

An official for Fairfax County, Va. said she has noticed that many young people studying in a state other than the one they are formally registered are not completing the voting process because "they don't know where to get stamps."

Lisa Connors, who works at the Fair County Office of Public Affairs, said the apparent problem was brought up in a focus group consisting of college students interning for the area's government agencies.

"One thing that came up, which I had heard from my own kids but I thought they were just nerdy, was that the students will go through the process of applying for a mail-in absentee ballot, they will fill out the ballot, and then, they don't know where to get stamps," Connors said, according to WTOP. "That seems to be like a hump that they can't get across."

Several members of the group said they know of many people who did not ultimately send in their absentee ballots after filling out the necessary information to receive them because of this exact reason.

"Across the board," Connors told WTOP. "They were all nodding and had a very spirited conversation about 'Oh yeah, I know so many people who didn't send theirs in because they didn't have a stamp."

I think before the OP continues his harangue he should get his rather copious ass off the sofa, get a job and contribute to society. Like the rest of us.

A truly Godly person would either not judge; not express his opinion on a public forum, or would simply forgive the sinner and move on with life. Only an attention hound troll would make a post such as yours.
