People Are Sharing The Boomer Trends They're Ready To See Go Extinct, And I Don't Disagree
Buzzfeed ^ | 12/1/21 | Shelby Heinrich

1. "The 'customer is always right' excuse, and not allowing employees to adequately defend themselves. The customer is the CUSTOMER. The service you get is a privilege, not a right, and you better believe you can be denied service."

2. "The 'workhorse' mentality they want in employees. My job does not need to be my life when I’m getting paid a Medicare wage. My sanity is worth more to me than my work. Quit asking your employees to give all of their energy to their jobs."

That was a lame post, you rebutted nothing but instead just pushed out some whiney avoidances of the facts and the realities of American life and politics and history.

Pure thread revisionism. The fact in dispute is my claim that the baby boomers received (and then squandered) the greatest inter-generational inheritance in history and nobody can dispute that. I'll leave a space available below for your missing citation of a non-rebutting whiney avoidance. You can just cut-n-paste it.

Proverbs 13:22

Thanks, I was searching for a more churchy way of describing boomer sin.

Oh wait! I just realized you were deliberately misinterpreting scripture which, when correctly understood, would require that the wealth inherited by the boomers NOT be squandered and, in its own turn, be handed down to following generations. But your boomerific interpretation is that God mandated that all previous generations build up wealth for benefit of that one generation. You probably think it deficient of the Bible to not mention you by name. Why should boomer religious integrity be different from boomer integrity in general.

Proverbs 19:14. I think I’ll leave my investment properties to my kids instead of the bank taking them, but you do you.

If you think the US needs to have liberty in every nation, why don’t we just invade China , N Korea and Russia? Lets send all our men to fight for “liberty”.

What I wrote was the position of Washington, Kennedy, and Reagan regarding those who served. We are through here.

I don’t have a problem with you, Lamp.

Your failure to do something as simple as to compare a calendar against your fantasy Boomer history is entertaining for everyone who lived through those times.

You should let us know your birth year so we have an idea of which generation you represent.

“In 1964 the the old man of the boomer generation had just turned 18, the youngest boomers just turned 3, and they weren’t running anything and wouldn’t be for decades.”

Doesn’t matter. We apparently possessed magical powers that enabled us to control the course of history despite our youth.

Plus all of us evidently inherited a good deal of money while screwing over Generation Whiner.

Oh, so now you're reversing course and suggesting that your previous argument was, in fact, my own. At least your taking correction, even if you can't admit it.

I have to ask, have you ever won an argument in your life, with facts and such?

I'll shovel two posts into the same pile, here:

“In 1964 the the old man of the boomer generation had just turned 18, the youngest boomers just turned 3, and they weren’t running anything and wouldn’t be for decades.” Doesn’t matter. We apparently possessed magical powers that enabled us to control the course of history despite our youth.

Since you've completely lost track of the argument, I'll remind you that this whole sidebar was a response to your imbecilic inference that I was communist because I was stating something that you didn't like but couldn't dispute. I then pointed out that the political pendulum which had swung right for GenX had previously swung left for boomers, and that for a member of an essentially pro-communist generation to accuse a member of an essentially anti-communist generation of being a communist wasn't going to work.

Plus all of us evidently inherited a good deal of money while screwing over Generation Whiner.

Your reading comprehension and your argumentation are probably related deficiencies.

Your failure to do something as simple as to compare a calendar against your fantasy Boomer history is entertaining for everyone who lived through those times.

You made an accusation about political leanings, so I came back with a truth about political leanings. You couldn't respond to the actual post as written and so attempted to make it about voting. Here's a truth: Millennials lean left and love the politics of Obama, but none of Genz and only some of GenY even got to vote for him. I can still write about their expressed political tendencies.

Let me use a metaphor. Imagine a wealthy family patriarch has a son and a grandson. The son is a hippy who reads Marx and espouses leftist ideology. The grandson, contrarily, is a rock-ribbed conservative. The patriarch dies and his estate is passed on to his son, who proceeds to squander it in a futile attempt to create a socialist utopia. The grandson inherits nothing, but the son's creditors haunt him nevertheless, seeking fulfillment of debt he never accrued.

One day, an observer of events asks the grandson why his is impoverished when he comes from wealth. He replies by stating that the son had squandered the fortune. The son, hearing the grandson say this, calls him "comrade" and attempts to suggest that he, the son, is a communist.

Let me ask, does the son's rebuke seem just, fair, or truthful? How should the grandson respond?

I looked at his small posting history and it seems he trolls threads with a lot of inaccurate nonsense that he blames on boomers, he is bitter, insecure, immature, and lacking knowledge in generations, but a lot of anger and bitterness.

“response to your imbecilic inference that I was communist”

Actually it was mockery. But you evidently aren’t particularly intelligent and don’t recognize it.

I’m sure that the rest of your screed is Very Important to you, but whining and make believe history has limited appeal.

He sounds very anti-Christian as well. ROP perhaps?
