Dear Dataceptionist,

We just feel sorry for GL. Especially those of us that know him.

Thanks one and all for coming to my ‘defense.’ Being made of fun by Gawker is akin to being roasted, it was a good thing, not bad. I appreciate the kind words, however, really.

Hey GL,
I’m a 20-something and I enjoy reading your posts (including that list).

But then, I try the best I can to try to step outside whatever demographic I’m in, to try to better understand it, which I can’t say many people my age bother doing.

I find it incredibly painful to read “rebuttals” like this one, as they only seem to re-inforce the point the author is making.
Why people!?! Why must you hold yourself up as a spectacle of why everyone hates *your* generation!

GL,

Corky has said it a bit differently, but when I read what the Gawker King had so say, it reminded me of many parents of 20 somethings I have met who when you ask them about how things are gonig with “the kids” their eyes roll up and they say something like “Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time.”

Free food and higher pay! Now why hadn’t I thought about that?

There is nothing in the world worse than a YOUNG DORK….they make you wish that almost every woman believed in abortion….but then there wouldn’t be anyone to tell us old geezers just how much we don’t know about most every thing…..OH WELL, nobody said that life would be perfect!
Hang in there…..Somebody has to make sure there is a payroll!

There’s no hope for us old guys. Look what’s in this morning’s news:

“Now there’s another good reason to reduce the stress in your life: researchers have found that elevated levels of stress hormone are linked to a decline in cognitive function.

Add stress reduction to the list of steps you can take to keep your mind sharp. Johns Hopkins researchers have linked high levels of the stress hormone cortisol with a decline in cognitive performance in older individuals.”

You see, they try to stress us so that we can’t think! It’s all an agist plot, I tellya!

Just to be clear, I understand the tone and makeup of Gawker.com…it is an updated ONION, but even edgier, funnier.
