"We hate your guts you greedy sons of b*itches"

Endorses euthanasia for boomers.

Holds all boomers responsible for 40million abortions.

Can't wait for his revenge when we are old and weak.

Attributes his own emotion to his "entire generation", which is symptomatic of grandiosity.

Rational or dysfunctional talk?

My suggestion that there are more personal underlying issues at work here that should be dealt with was genuine.

Pointing out that it is personal to me, which I will not hesitate to confirm, means nothing. It is personal in the same way that the War on Terror is personal to me, having been inside the WTC the first time it was hit. Are you going to argue that the War on Terror is wrong because it is personal to me? Neither is a rhetorical war against the destruction the boomers have wrought.

I don't see a lot of people in the boomer generation who fought hard against it. I see a lot of feminists and husbands who went along to get along.

If you think I am taking a huge leap by claiming that these sentiments are broadly held, you may want to avail yourself of GenX literature. I have a funny feeling I know a lot more GenXers than you do. And if you need more proof, witness that at least 4 other GenXers have confirmed what I have said, on this very thread. My experience, rather than an isolated personal trauma, is common theme to the GenX generation.

This is what they mean when, for example, there's a 50%+ divorce rate and you do nothing. Where were the boomers then? Well, if more than 50% of marriages fail, you're going to end up with more than 50% of the kids of those marriages who feel like this. Thus was born GenX, the first majority-alienated generation. And divorce was but a single of the immensely varied tools with which the boomers shredded the moral, social, and spiritual fabric of this nation.
