Should we blame the Baby Boomers for everything?
My Boomer Tips
My personal opinion is that the Baby Boomer generation is responsible for everything wrong in this country to date.
Social Security going bankrupt:
Wouldn't be a problem if the Baby Boomers didn't constantly seek ways to outlive their usefulness. Why do you want to live to the ripe old age of 100, Boomers? To sit in a stupor in a diaper in an assisted living center where nobody cares about you or comes to visit you?
The Entitlement Mentality:
People like to call my generation the "Me Generation". Where do you suppose we got those crazy ideas? Surely, not from our Baby Boomer parents who enjoyed the highpoint of American prosperity without working for it, who told us all our lives that we could do anything we wanted. Surely, the parents aren't responsible for the crap they've been shoving down their kid's throats for decades.
Hyper-partisanship:
Want to know why our Government can't get anything done? Its because they're all Baby Boomers who still harbor grudges over what happened in the 60's. The Liberal ones resent the tear-gas, firehouses and police dogs. The Conservatives resent Woodstock, Marijuana and Free Love. None of them can get over it and its poisoning our political discourse.
So what do you say? Did the Baby Boomers ruin this country?
BxMuscle:
You bring up a good point.
Lack of Personal Responsible:
Another wonderful gift from the Baby Boomers. Thanks to them, addiction is no longer a voluntary lack of willpower, but a disease. Nobody ever chooses to be bad person, they just have bad influences in their life. This ties into what I said earlier about the crap that Baby Boomers have been shoving down the Gen X kid's throats.
Just keep working sonny we need the money for prune juice.
Been saying it for decades and I am one of them. They are a terrible degenerate generation especially the first half of them.
no more so than any other geration does, it is a slow slide
Definitely blame them. Otherwise we’d have to take responsibility for our own lives and messes!
Blame the Baby Boomers for what, giving birth to us. My parents were Conservative, religious and conservative. As a result of that exposure I am more of a free love, free spirit, liberal girl with hair down to her butt and an expensive education. I am very happy, healthy and have never felt the need to see a psychiatrist. I can’t say the same for my parents.
Go ahead and blame me. I’ve worked hard all my life and paid for everything I’ve got, despite a disability from Viet Nam which I just started drawing. I could have collected it from 1969, but said no, as long as I could work. Now I’m 62 and the Doc’s say my working days are over. Put the blame on me cause I wouldn’t want the feeble minded and bad back scared of work liberals to be over burdened. We Boomers didn’t vote for 0sama Bin Bama cause we aren’t scared of work. You younger folks are to blame for this joke. The Boomers showed you folks how to be free,and enjoy this world, and you opted out for a handout from the liar from Kenya. Blame me for my shoulders are used to the weight. I’d like to tell you some more but I hate dueling with the mentally handicaped.
