Boomers only wanted 1/2 a kid so they could spend all of their time and money on themselves, that's why they made birth control and abortion the law of the land. Now there aren't enough people to take care of them. Boo hoo.

Don't worry boombers we'll let enough illegal aliens in to pay social security and take care of you.

Boomers didn't do that, Boomer broads did.

I built a career, bought a house, all ready to go......and only gold-diggers showed up. Well. What's a boy to think?

I think I'll be comfortably retired, sitting on my porch 15 years from now, watching those former "Sisterhood is powerful" feminists who were too good for guys, pushing their grocery carts down the street.

So don't look at me, I did my part .... it's the Silent Generation malcontents, Friedan and Steinem, that started the crap. And Hef -- Hef played an underappreciated role in family decline, with his sportive, fundamentally irresponsible ways that women abreacted to very badly.

Future sociologists are going to be super-tough on feminism. Just watch. The Boomers may not live long enough to see it (particularly if Gen X sticks us in a wood chipper), but Gen Z certainly will. I think I'll live long enough to see Gen Z sprout a little iron on their temples, and by then maybe the jury will be back on feminism. If people are still writing in English.

Check your history, bubba. Roe v. Wade was decided in 1969, IIRC. The oldest 'boomer' would have been about 23.

It's really easy to beat up on the boomers, but I take a little umbrage over it. I served in the Army for 8 years, of which 4 was during the Carter Administration.

Me, and millions of other boomers, have busted our tails to raise our families correctly. Is that not part of the reason youngsters are growing up more conservatively today?

I'd like to go further, but my lunch hour is winding down. Suffice it to say that generational conflict will never end.

Yea,yea, yea. I'm a boomer born in '58. I have four kids, my eldest voting for the first time for GWB. The rest share my husband's and my conservative views.

I am pro-life. Abortion became the law of the land when I was 15. I was too busy trying to figure out Watergate. Don't paint all of us with the same brush. All boomers are not as you portray them. Many of them are her at FR, duh!
