William Shatner takes 'entitled' millennials to task in heated Twitter exchange, calls one a [tr]

Star Trek actor William Shatner waded into a generational row last night as he took aim at the catchphrase 'OK Boomer' and feuded with a Twitter user who had blamed older people for millennial 'hardships'.

The jibe 'OK Boomer' has become popular among millennials and the younger Generation Z, who use it to show exasperation with older people and their opinions.

One Twitter user aimed it at Shatner yesterday but the Hollywood veteran, who was born in 1931, fired back: 'Sweetheart, that's a compliment for me.'

Warming to his theme, Shatner said he would 'wear that badge with honor' and embarked on a heated row with a millennial user, eventually calling her 'divaesque'.

Millennial... 60% don’t have a life and would just love to know the Boomers will continue to take care of them.

Little do they know. Millies will be taking care of Boomers, who will also drain Soc Sec to the last drop. Which is to say if the Millie is employed, he is already taking care of the Boomer, it's right there on the paystub.

“Millennial are the target demographic of the socialist democraps this 2020 election. 60% don’t have a life and would just love to know the Boomers will continue to take care of them.” * As a Boomer who served in Vietnam, worked my way through college (along with about $120 per mo GI Bill), did plenty of $h!tty jobs along the way, I’m thinking if I get a whiff that any of my three adult daughters exhibit any socialist tendencies they are out of the will, lol! Actually, my wife and I may just decide to spend our assets down to zero by the time we expire. And, let them pay for our funeral expenses, 😂!

Most people are unaware of just how bad Woodrow Wilson was, and his utter disdain for the Constitution. He is in my TOP FIVE of the worst U.S. presidents of all time.

Precisely.

The Boomers (Locusts) are funny. Railing against millenials for complaining about eating the last bit of seed corn and not giving them more.

The Worst Generation.

I’m a boomer with two millennial sons. I spent enormous amounts of time with them, stayed involved in their lives even after their mother and I divorced. She and I are both college educated. They were offered every educational opportunity which they idiotically declined, including vocational training if academics were not their cup of tea. Because they did not take advantage of opportunity when offered and, instead, listened to their brain-dead millennial friends, they will likely just get by and exist the rest of their lives. They chose their own hell. They will have to live in it now.

As a Gen X’er it’s always funny hearing the video game generation (millennials) fuss about the hippie generation (boomers) and vice-versa. :)

It would help their (youngsters) cause if they stopped voting for every tax increase and for ever pro-illegal cause that came their way.

Triggered? There must have been some time delay as she feverishly “googled” the meaning of the word Shatner used. Which may have been difficult to find since it was a slightly unusual combination of Italian noun and French suffix. Sucks when they try to act haughty and superior on the basis of an undemanding and grossly inferior education.

Millennials and Gen X’ers have shown to be lazy and expect instant gratification in everything...They bring their problems and troubles down on themselves...

Blah blah blah... everyone just shut up and take care of things. Every generation has its share of morons and non-thinking idiots. Ignore them and take care of business. That is how successful people have done it FOREVER.
