Days of Whine and Poses - the cultural left : Comments

By Malcolm King, published 7/11/2008

The 'Days of Whine and Poses' are coming to an end, bringing with it the long, low whine of the babyboomer Cultural Left.

Complaining about the complainers in the Cultural Left because they complain too much? The irony is priceless.

Oh, and if you're going to quote so extensively from David McKnight, it would be best if you could spell his name right.

A vicious attack, seemingly on older people who wear black turtle neck jumpers.

King has my vote. I used to teach in a high school and I was astounded at the level of cultural mumbo jumbo that was trotted out as knowledge by the teachers.

I think the cultural left's position is a kind of default 'I'm against everything' position for those who don't want to think too hard. Not so sure about having a sling at the old boomers. We're becoming a punching bag for these young ferrets!

yep, for an article about whining, it is incredibly whiny.

Johnj,
Thanks for pointing out the error with David McKnight's name. It has been corrected and I have popped in a link to his website.

How dare you others put this wonderful author down. He scores 10 out of 10 with me. For generalising and writing about non existent groups. God knows what's in his head, it's terrifying to ponder.

Otherwise I still give him 10 out of 10 for the best virtual manure pile I've seen in a long while.

I know this is On Line Opinion, but an opinion that runs over three pages usually benefits from some facts and evidence. Were there any here? I must have blinked and missed them.

But let me put forth my equally unsupported opinion: I bet this was written before the Obama victory.
