Our generation fought vietnam and the politicians turned their backs on us and screwed us over in the first war fought on TV with socialists like walter conkrite telling people what to think. You have the benefit of the internet which boomers gave you for your news so you have a fighting chance against the commie media. Many did do drugs and sex and start feminism but all gens make mistakes.
You have idolized Castro and the Sandanista - along with Annie Hall and woody Allen when Star Wars should've won the Oscar that year. For that alone I hate your generation.
bullcrap!!!!! Most of us were working our asses off to get ahead. The commie media gave us that and told most idiots what to think.
Finally you gave us Clinton and Gore and Tipper and now Kerry.
Once again we have had to battle the commie media that ruled and they are the ones that elected the basterd slick. After that the internet kicked in and many of the unbrainwashed boomers are doing their part to fight back
you gave us bad music in the 70s and 80s and Woodstock became a parody of what you are
. You gave us rap and you call our music bad? Rap is much worse for society then our music was.
You became useful idiots for the Soviets - you allowed Phil Donahue to stay on the air.
The greatest gen gave us the soviets. We won the cold war by electing RR.
You became me me me in the 1970s and Yuppies in the 80s - you dumbed downed society and you dressed down the culture. You altered the English language with your Ms. and your PC verbal hysteria.
Once again you are blaming us for the socialist foundation that was set down before us by the commie media and we are starting to fight back thanks to the internet.
You gave us AIDS. Your generation also unleashed the killing of the unborn and you gave us bad TV like Maud, Mash, Murphy Brown, and Thirtysomething. You are the face of Hillary and the greed and the powerhungry dysfunctional Godless selves you all are. You deserve what you get. You boomer people suck!
This is all too stupid to waste time replying to except for abortion which we did not give you. Many took advantage of it and that is a horrible terrific mistake and I wish I could change it. But once again it was given to us by the black robed, black souled judicial activists. If it had been put to a vote it would never have been allowed. Even today I bet it would not be allowed. Remeber too that probaly only 33% of the boomers were responsible for the ills you claim. It was the power of the mass media which was controlled by commies that gave the minority the voice to overcome the will of the people. Thank the good Lord for the internet which gives your gen the chance to fight back.
Well I will agree with a lot of what you said. The commies/liberals/elitists in the media and the more importantly the public education system brainwashed much of what are known as the Baby Boomers, and it continues to this day. I think the problem a lot of generation X'ers have is that the Boomers have been adults for a long time, and so many of them have yet to comprehend the error of their self-serving ways.
Unfortunately, as someone already stated it's the Baby Boomer Women that have done the most damage from the legacy of abortion on demand to the rise of the nanny state. I can't help but slam their neutered husbands, though.
You are right. There was much you said in that reply that's true. The more I've read from the Boomer standpoint on this thread, the more I'm starting to see that you guys are just as p*ssed about the crap you were fed as we are. I really do see the points brought up by the Boomers in this thread.
So, how can we all address the SS issue? If Gen Xers agreed to take responsibility for their elderly parents (give them shelter, food, clothes, etc) and let the SS/Medicare/Medicaid programs take care of the medical expenses and the elders that are beyond in-home care and if the Boomers would agree to work longer (as they are able) and be self-sufficient as long as possible, I think this could work out for everybody.
