[QUOTE=fastfred;I love paying for their healthcare and social security
[/QUOTE]
I paid into SS for over 40 years and now that I'm taking money out (based on how much I put in) you're paying for it? Every generation has it's problems and issues, like the Great Depression for your great-grandparents. Perhaps the problem is the current one spends it's time in the virtual world instead of obtaining an understanding of. history. The system has always been rigged. Figure it out and deal with it. I don't know, but after living through several generations it seems that the old and young each always sound the same. On yeah, and get off my lawn!Gravity Junkie

Everywhere sucks except the future? Geez,
You know if you’re lucky you get 80-90 turns around the sun.
For most here, I suspect we are on the back nine.
The world is a big place. Lots of places and things to do that don’t involve getting angry daily at trump or Hillary or your dead end job. In the end non of it matters. Go live a little .

Bill Clinton, a boomer, gave us one. Another boomer, George W Bush. threw it away. It's ridiculous to generalize about any generation. The baby boom contained well-off, college-going hippies who protested the war in Vietnam except for a few who went out of what they felt was patriotism, a bunch of poor and lower middle class kids who went there because they had to, and a handful who jumped at the chance to kill some gooks--and that fucked war was started by the previous generation. If you look at a lot of what's wrong with this country politically it can be traced back to that war. The same Greatest Generation who survived the Great Depression and saved democracy brought us Vietnam.
Bernie and Donald are both boomers.
Meanwhile--boomers are only 23% of the population. There are more millenials than boomers--so you non boomers can take over if you want to bad enough. So stop bitching and do it.

This whole thread started because some baby boomer woman wanted new backsplash tile? The internet is making everyone bitter and lonely.
I watched "They Shall Not Grow Old" on the plane last week on trench warfare in WW1. It didn't pull any punches with old footage from the front lines. In addition to getting blown to bits, these guys had to deal with lice, trench feet, gangrene, mustard gas, etc. Any millennial, gen-x, or boomer who's bitching about how bad things are today is just a little bitch.

My son had his first job interview this morning. I printed out the city bus schedule and offered to drop him off at Hardees (Carl's Jr for you left coasters). He declined my offer and dusted off the bike he hadn't ridden in a year. It's only a little over a mile down the road though so no major obstacles to walking or biking to work. Might suck in the rain but glad he's stepping up to go earn some money of his own. I was working fast food at 15. He's turning 17 in October.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Tell folks who served in Vietnam and are suffering from agent orange exposure or Desert Storm vets who were hanging ass shoulder to shoulder over a rope with dysentery or resperatory disease from burning oil wells, or the soldiers stations in Balad, Iraq who breathed in fumes from a 10 acre open air burn pit of 200 tons of waste per day about how soft they are.
War is horrible and to keep it on topic, the Boomers having suffered through the Vietnam era should have known better than get us involved in the longest war in US history.

QUOTE=4matic;5699063]The core reason boomers suck is they cling to their glorious past and not realize how lucky they were. A misspent youth would not survive today. Fuck Classic Vinyl too.[/QUOTE]
Baby boomers were the offsping of the greatest generation. Greatest generation didn't want their spawn to go through the hardships they endured so G.G. spoiled the B.Bs.
How's the saying go?...

Not only this -- compare the wealth of boomers to any other generation. They may only make up 23% of the population, but they control a large majority of wealth and major institutions in this country -- be they large corporations or political institutions.
People who think just because someone is in the minority of sheer numbers mean that the other groups can easily attain power are the ones that need a history lesson.
