If you continue to read the post to which you reply, you will note there is a /sarcasm tag attached. These are useful in discovering the poster is being sarcastic. You may find these helpful next time you read one of my posts. I tend to use them to ensure the folks who don't get sarcasm know I'm being sarcastic.
Unfortunately, I have yet to discover something that would solve the problem of people who don't actually read the posts to which they're responding. :) Maybe a big "WARNING--THIS POST USES SARCASM--DO NOT READ IT IF YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND SARCASM!" up front, before I post anything on topic. LOL.
But to reply to your post--I don't think it's the BOOMERS' fault that Gen Xers are self-absorbed brats, because I don't think Gen Xers are self-absorbed brats. I do think Gen Xers tend to be a helluvalot more self-deprecating than others. I'm unsure, given many of the Boomers' liberal social beliefs and their kinda weird perspectives on childraising back when they first squeezed out pups, whether or not many Xers would have been better off without them around as "parents," anyway.
Well, you're quite right, I missed that somehow, even though I did read the post. It just didn't register.
