>>This is the most selfish generation the USA has seen (my generation).<<
Bull. Who do you think made them that way? The Greatest Generation. The ones who voted in the massive entitlements that WE now have to pay for.
How about those Free Power Chairs?
Yep. I say to them "Hey thanks for saving the world from Hiter and Tojo... and then screwing up your kids and making them the 60s generation." I've always wondered how the GG created the Baby Boomer mentality. Is it because the parents were too giving towards their children because they had nothing growing up in the depression, because they were so strict and abusive (seems like a lot of boomers I knew had fathers who beat their moms) that the 60s were a unavoidable reaction, because they were so unwilling to discuss facts of life (refusing to talk to their kids about things like sex instead of telling them what it is but also stressing that it was something meant by God for two married people to enjoy) leaving the kids completely unknowing what to do when they reached "maturity", a combination of the above, or something else?
As a baby boomer, I can safely say my own parents weren’t among those who bought into the Dr. Spock lies that resulted in selfish baby-boomers. My father believed if you spare the rod you spoil the child.
