40 Things All Baby Boomers Think Are Cool
living alot.com ^ | Payton Turner

Posted on 05/11/2020 3:28:02 AM PDT by AbolishCSEU

Baby Boomers... these things were never cool. No, it's time to accept that these choices were mistakes and move on to make better choices from now on.

We know that some of these will be shocking and hard for you to accept. You may be angry... Just know, even if you disagree, you are still wrong. Today, we're going to (mostly) overlook the big things and, instead, focus on the more mundane mistakes that plague every generation after (baby boomers)

CURSIVE Cursive doesn't actually help. While it may look pretty, it's honestly an outdated waste of time. Surely there's got to be a better way to spend your time than working on your P's and Q's.

24-HOURS NEWS NETWORKS (Shows FOX NEWS in background) You want to scream fake news at something? Scream it at these, not actual news outlets.

FOSSIL FUELS Oh yeah, researching and implementing green, sustainable energy is such a waste. Why not just irreparably destroy the ozone while we fight wars over oil?

BLAMING MILLENNIALS Hey, hey, I get it. "Snowflakes" are "whiny" and "can't take a joke" since they disagree with you. But whatever you do, don't ever direct that blame inward. It's definitely the millenials. (sic)

COMPLAINING ABOUT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS Oh no! We have to treat people who are different from us with the basic respect that every human deserves! What kind of millennial liberal garbage is this?

CONSPIRACY THEORIES Repeat after me: The National Enquirer is full of conspiracy theories and lies. So is Alex Jones and Fox News.

GENDERED EVERYTHING Unpopular opinion time! Colors don't have genders. Girls and boys can do whatever they want or play with whatever they want as long as they're safe, and it makes them happy. Gendering is sexist, and it's time to move past the '50s.

"Payton is a major nerd and hockey enthusiast who's just trying to finish out school to be a POLITICAL REPORTER one day."

Note: She (Ze?) even misspelled "millennials" twice. Once in her link and once in her article.

Most of these were about boomer "fashion" and mundane rants about phone books, but most of it was sanctimonious, "We're better than you" liberal prattle.

They aren’t from fossils.
They power the world.
That oil is in the environment leaking in the ocean even if we do nothing with it.

Censoring some thought. Pushing a political line 24-7.

The left hates Christians and say ugly discriminating things against them without rebuke.

Gen-Xer here... I think one of the biggest things that has consistently amazed me about Millennials is how they are always 100% correct about *EVERYTHING*.

Coming from a generation that basically had to raise ourselves, and spent our entire childhood being told how we were stupid, worthless slackers, I just can’t wrap my head around being able to walk through life with that level of cocksure arrogance. Of course, it’s also one of the biggest reasons why, from the day the first millennials came of age, they have been consistently beating the pants off of Gen-X, and running circles around us...

50?
1050?
1450?
1850?

It’s as old as time.

even the late Little Richard knew that God made man and woman.

As Rush said, the under 40 set is the only generation that thinks they can’t learn anything from the older generations. They know it all already. The self-righteousness and snarky attitude is off the charts.

Payton appears to be a Man/woman without enough intellegence to look at the research behind her miniscreeds. Sad.

Example: cursive writing actually provides better brain development than keyboarding or printing.

This is a sample of the popular culture class that is being turned out.

heartbreaking

yep. All of her “did you knows” focus on events after 2005, Beyonce, Jay-Lo and pop culture. I weep for the future.

and that goes for ALL generations, not just boomers.

She comes from the “eat your parents and teachers” politics of Chairman Mao. destroy the past historical record because the artifacts don’t comply with the present.

Cursive is quicker than printing, even quicker than tapping out this reply on the android.

So as a boomer, I have to ask, why should I care about what someone thinks about “things” that I should think are cool? There is nothing I really care about less than lists of this sort.
