Complete crap
Are any of these 19-35 year olds out of the house working or are they still fantasizing about HOPE and CHANGE.
Every Generation Blames the one before, and thinks the one's coming up next is going to screw it up even more.
So do Baby Boomers get to blame the “Greatest “Generation”?
Perfect illustration of a Gen X whine.
While you're at it, you could at least say "thanks" for putting Reagan in the White House, and ending the Cold War.
Every generation has its share of slugs, whiners and parasites. Period.
Its easy to identify the whiners - they're the ones pointing their fingers.
Or if they are not? Then their parents can take the credit for those high-achieving kids in their 20s.
I’m a Boomer and I think the article is on-target.
If Millenials are naïve, unmotivated, lazy, and ignorant of American history and traditions, it’s because we’ve utterly failed in our mission to teach them good values.
The media and public schools have certainly done their part as well.
LOL.
So if boomers made millenials bad, does that mean the Greatest Generation (those who raised the boomers) made us boomers bad.
And who made the greatest generation bad?
This stuff is just stupid.
Here is my theory.
When society reinforced good values, parents got lazy and bad habits were carried on.
It not that 1930’s parents were that great, its just that they didn’t have to be that good for their children to have values. Still, there were plenty of kids that turned out crappy.
In today’s world, it is all up to the parent if you want to raise a moral child.
You illustrated in one sentence everything that’s wrong with your generation.
You’re nothing but a bunch of lazy do nothing’s living I’m mommy and daddy’s basement blaming everyone but yourselves for the situation you’re in, and made worse by voting for Obama.
Here’s a free clue: your life only improves when you take ownership of it and stop blaming everyone else for your situation and failures. In short: grow the f*ck up whiner.
The boomers are not locusts, they paid into a system the politicians pillaged. We cannot blame them for that. There are lots and lots of boomers because we have been aborting a rather large segment of the population that would otherwise help pay what is owed (yes, I get there would be a lot of locusts in the aborted, but still).
Our government is what screwed everything up and soon we will all pay the price.
I’m a Gen-Xer with millennial kids - so I see many kids of this generation.
They impress me a few ways. They are very gentle kids. Very open and accepting, and kind to others. In that regard, they are better than kids I grew up with. The brainwashing on bullying, etc... has worked. Of course, they are good with technology.
The flip side of that - they are less independent. Not many work - or are expected to work. They expect things to be provided, and have less initiative. They aren’t reactionaries, but many are natural nanny-state citizens. In that regard, the brainwashing has also worked.
I’m a boomer and my progeny is Generation X. Why should I get blamed for the millennials when I have my own sins?
I know where you’re coming from.
I’m a ‘Gen Xer’ as well, and I feel like I’m being screwed every which way. The ‘Boomers’ get me from the front, and the ‘Millennials’ are hitting me from behind.
Neither of them even have the decency to buy us a dammed drink first either......
Easier to blame the Inventors of the Smartphone, Facebook, Twitter and every other distraction from real life.
Well, as a Boomer, I admit that many in my generation dropped the ball in the childrearing department. But, once a person has reached adulthood, it’s time to start blaming mommy and daddy for one’s bad behavior.
