Boomers seem to be the only ones who aren’t aware that Boomers screwed things up for everyone else in a big way.

In fairness, some Boomers do acknowledge the facts.

“Boomers seem to be the only ones who aren’t aware that Boomers screwed things up for everyone else in a big way. In fairness, some Boomers do acknowledge the facts.”

Well, if we chase this back to source or root cause I would say it was the Depression/WWII generation who “screwed things up”. This generation who lived through the two most tumultuous events in U.S. history is the generation who raised, doted on, spoiled their children and created this narrisstic, ego centric demographic aka Boomer Generation. Now, in defense of the Depression/WWII Generation, they were merely guilty of wanting to protect and spare their children from experiencing their hardships which was flawed logic. But, this is now history and baked in the cake so to speak. Now you know the rest of the story...

Boomer Children were raised by the media.

I’m a boomer. My kids are gen X and millennial. They are less spoiled and thinking the world owes them than the boomers.

But I agree. The boomers, spoiled by The Greatest Generation, schooled by Marxists in college, caused the problems we see today.

It is a multi generational cluster f***.

Had we backed Joe McCarthy we might not be in this mess today.

I am a boomer and can care less to what millennials assert I have done or not done. They are nothing more than tools looking only to blame rather than adapt and overcome. Tissue biatches - I hear K-Mart got a blue light special on Kleenex...get some, yeah?!

“Boomers seem to be the only ones who aren’t aware that Boomers screwed things up for everyone else in a big way.’

It is hard to believe that people can be so stupid as to believe that kind of thing.

Even if Boomers had it in their hearts and minds to screw up the country, they could not do it due to the fact that never has just one generation been in exclusively in charge and running things on a whim.

Obama is considered to be the first post-baby boom president and he doubled the national debt with help from three generations.

Boomers were not in charge when abortion was declared a cool thing to pursue, when prayer was declared uncool, and the list is endless.

I’m too old to be a boomer and too young to be of the greatest generation although greatly influenced by the latter. There is enough assholery and douchebaggery across all strata of society to spread the guilt. However, the problem now with millenials is that they have been thoroughly brainwashed and indoctrinated by a semi-communist/communist educational system. Hence this jagoff comes up with “,..ignoring climate change...”.

Pointing fingers at any single demographic is stupid. Liberalism has destroyed America, and liberals are in every walk in life.

But if we're pointing fingers, if baby boomers destroyed America, keep in mind that the "greatest generation" raised those boomers to be lazy, self centered, spoiled, instant gratification, etc.

There's enough blame to go around.

Funny, the so-called millennials attack the boomers out of one side of their mouths for allowing big government to ruin the country, while demanding that even bigger government right those wrongs and take care of them out of the other side.

These same people sing hossanahs to a radical 60's septuagenarian who promises to get even with the boomers while promising them a job with a basic income.

Stupid is as stupid does.
