Generation X. People born between 1962 and 1975, for whom the original "Sesame Street" children's television program was invented. If during your childhood, the original version of "Sesame Street" was in its original run (i.e., not re-runs), and if you were of the correct age for it to be relevant to you, and to learn from it, you are a member of Generation X. If you were in childhood when "Sesame Street" was being re-run on PBS, or watched it on VHS or DVD, you are Generation Y. Despite his surprised claim to the contrary, pretending to not know what it means, Daily Show host Jon Stewart is a Generation X'er, as is his former senior correspondent, Stephen Colbert.
Claims that Generation Y and not Generation X gets "most of its news from" The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are not true. Generation Y prefers to get its news via online and text sources. Generation X, famously scornful of everything and distrustful of anything, is Daily Show's primary audience and shares its cynicism.
Similarly, if you can remember seeing Idi Amin Dada actually alive on television and are not over the age of fifty, you are a Generation X'er. If he was deposed and dead by the time you first heard about him, you are Generation Y. For those unsure, Idi Amin Dada was the 1970's version of Osama bin Laden and was reviled and feared in the media exactly as frequently as bin Laden is today. The difference between the two is, Dada was never an ally of the Bush Administration and was an actual threat to democracy somewhere (actually, Uganda).
Thirdly and finally, if you were around to see the premiere episode of "Saturday Night Live" in 1975 on NBC, and if you remember Jim Henson's muppets making frequent appearances on the show, and you are not over the age of fifty, you are indeed a Generation X'er.
This condition similarly applies to remembering the "Sesame Street" era when Oscar The Grouch was orange in color and Grover was brown.
If you remember these moments, you are a Generation X'er. Bert and Ernie, by the way, are not having sex with each other, and it was never suggested by Henson and Oz that they were. Contrary to popular opinion, men can actually live together and share a friendship as roommates. Gay men can also - "gasp" - be platonic friends. To assert that Ernie and Bert are not platonic is actually kind of an attack on male friendship... which DOES exist. Ernie and Bert were based on "The Odd Couple", a Neil Simon-penned play that became a hit television sensation similar in popularity during the late Sixties to "Sex and The City" during the aughties. Henson and Oz intended no gay innuendo in the characters, and today's preoccupation with the sexual activities of two children's show mascots is a sad commentary on the world we X'ers have to live in.
Viva X.

Please read whole definition
It basically is all of the hippies claiming that the corporations and banks run America and that in the current state, they have no voice. It has potential to gain ground, but there is a lack of structure and lack of a common actual goal.
The truth is, the way they want everything to be run, America will go deep into debt, the rich will practically have their money taken from them and then be repettitively raped and thrown in to jail for being rich, the 99% of America won't be taxed, college will be free unless you're from the "one percent", and the borders will be open with a big sign that says "come on in!"
I'm going to try to kind of make a statement with this last paragraph that everyone can agree with. First of all, we can agree that the super rich get by too easily, and a portion of the middle class have a lot of trouble getting by. What we need to establish is what the "super-rich" is, because that "super-rich" might be someone who has legitimately earned thier money by doing good in school, getting a good degree, and spending smarter, rather than some lucky investor. The middle class "not having enough to get by" is rubbish. If the government gave you these jobs you wanted, it would cost more in tax dollars that what that job is worth to the country. Having kids, wasting money in college, and buying a house you couldn't afford are not excuses for your lack of money.
I'm from the percent that doesn't give a fuck
Occupy Wall Street Protestor: "I'm done with the corporate fat cats running the country! I want to be heard!"
"The one percent": "How about you get out of college, get a job, and get out of debt. Play it safe for a while. A lot of the people from "The one percent" actually started out in the 99%. I really don't think that standing out here in the cold is helping you get any job or a college degree."
"The fifty percent": I really don't get what's going on right now? I'm not in debt at all, but I'm not exactly pulling in a huge paycheck.

The worst street racing game of all-time for the following reasons:
1. Namco should have left it to the dying 3DO
2. There is no "sensde of speed" as seen in NFSU
3. going over 120 MPH and sliding out for turning
4. Namco has NO knowledge of the street racing genre..and should have left it to Ea or Rockstar Games
5. This game is in poor quality, and could have been made in 5 days by a braindead labratory ape
6. even though this factor doesnt mean crap to people like me...the graphics are poor and dont even meet PS2 or Gamecube standards
Namco..you have no knowledge of street racing and therefore should have stayed out of EA's and Rockstar Game's business.
