User blog comment:Triskelle3/Born In The Wrong Generation?/@comment-113335-20091023224608

When it comes to what generations I should lie in, that's debatable. I love technology and I enjoy using it, though I tend to enjoy older PCs than new ones. I'd say my technology preferences are locked in about 1995-2001 (during the Dot Com Bubble), but my skills are 2008.


 * Now, for my MORALS, that's a whole different story.
 * I've said this on the Shout Box, but my ancestors on my mother's side are what you would call "pure farm stock".
 * I was raised on moral ideals like respect, dignity, honesty, paying back debts, truth, justice, and stability, backed up by a heaping dose of old-time Christian religion. That sort of thing arose in combinations during the mid-1800s.
 * Politically, I was raised on pro-life, anti-abortion, anti-homosexual (though they are free to do anything in private), pro-capital punishment, anti-alcohol (though others drinking is not my business), pro-crosses on monuments, pro-school faith, anti-racial quota, and on the basis that race does not matter and that everyone is equal in the eys of God. These sorts of things date prior to the 1950s, though the final race one I added is relatively new. I am against reigonalism and I am proud of my country (anti-reigonalism new, nationalism very old), and I firmly belive that there is no New World Order and that Scientology is a cult (but not a scam). To that sense, my political basis can be set to about 1940-something, with a bit of 1990s in racial issues. I also support Censorship within reason (e.g. banning swearing, filthy books, pornography, and certain content from the television), which, in the censorship's case, would make me exactly 1939 in the media.
 * I'm also against universal healthcare, I despise wellfare (but love Social Security), and I think that mairraige is a legal union of a man and woman, and nothing else.
 * I feel that gays can do their... err, whatever they do, in private and amongst their own kind, but that homosexual relationships can not constitute as matrimony and that they should be barred from adopting children and recieving mairrage benefits.


 * Appearence wise, I've got you beaten, Triskelle. I haven't changed my hairstyle since I had hair, and I have seen sepia-tone photographs with people sporting near-identical hairstyles to mine (minus the irremovable cowlick) dating back to the 1890s! HA!
 * (note, however, that I think "scene hair" is very good-looking/handesome when done properly, just not on me, because I hate change)


 * I have issues with my pants falling down when I place my cell phone in my back pocket (big cell phone, so 1990s), and if I somehow had the dignity and the resources, I'd wear suspenders instead of belts. I also enjoy wearing suits these days. That's 1900 (minus the phone).


 * In gaming, I prefer E-rated games and quality gameplay over junk like Grand Theft Auto and those mindless shooting games, which lack any originality in my opinion. That puts me at 1990 or so.


 * In music, you've been PWNed as well. I like Christian Hymns (1920s and far earlier, some dating to the early 1800s and back) the best of all music, and my favorite instrument is (and always will be) the organ.
 * However, I also really enjoy rap, but I view swearing as straight from the devil. Therefore, I can not listen to many rap songs, and I'm just fine with that. I firmly believe that swearing ruins not just rap, but music, period. Any song with swearing and unholy content is automatically bad.
 * My family takes a liking to 1980s music as well, so we listen to that every now and then.
 * "Pop" music has also risen in our entire immediant family, my mother and sister especially.
 * However, if there's one thing I'll always dislike, it's Heavy Metal and, moreso, the "Screamo" subgenre (which isn't music, just earaches).


 * I agree with you on the photgraphs, black and white IS really nifty.

To conclude, yes, I can relate when you feel you are "in the wrong generation". My morals in particular are dated. Who supports capital punishment besides the geezers these days? Capital punishment is so 1940s. My view on sexuality (do it in private) and opinion of mairrage and homosexuality rests in the 1700s and far prior to 0 B.C. (as in, what happened to Soddom and Gamorrah).

You have posted a VERY good blog and I am glad I can share my lost opinions here as well.
