In Generation Me‚ by Jean Twenge‚ the attacks on the generations’ ways of life and standards for living are far-fetched‚ in my opinion.

These things have little to do with major problems such as global warming or the oil crisis‚ and are more about Twenge’s own personal pet peeves. Yes‚ we want to be happy‚ but who doesn’t? Doing well by ourselves

It would be hard for a person to actually find a character who is this deep and this disturbed in the world of comic book villains. The mind that concocted him‚ Jerry Robinson‚ must have been a very twisted person indeed. This character represents a theory about existence that part of me believes that all people wish we could embrace‚ in our own way. First‚ the Joker’s history. Different comics and movies
