We're done here. This discussion, such as it is, is terminated.

I disagree with that. There may have been very isolated drug use in small pockets around the country, but that would have been it.
In 1955 I graduated from the 3rd largest 3 year high school in the country. There were over 900 in my graduating class. No one I knew had ever heard of or considered using drugs. It wasn't until the hippie bastards in the 60's made them popular that we had a problem involving kids.
And you don't hear us urging "The Greatest Generation" to exit the planet.

The Greatest Generation actually accomplished something. Name me something that the Boomers really did that was extraordinary (aside from that really great acid that time at Woodstock).
“But can you imagine every freeper in the same room together talking? YEEGADS!”
I agree that it could be a bit scary to have all of us in the same room actually talking to one another. But then again what would be so bad about that? Emails and postings loose so much in translation. What is said jokingly or sarcastically in an email or post is often taken as a personal offence because it lacks the facial expression or body language that adds so much to what is really being said.
How many times do I wish I could take back an email because it’s meaning was misinterpreted when if I had said it in person, my meaning would have been much clearer.
Nope!!!! Your a boomer and you just wished your self dead...nice. From a loving genuine gen X.
Mc...dont waste your energy responding. This kid either knows very little or else she is looking for a fight.
Yes and the generation that continues to quit everything...Vietnam can't respond to posts does not surprise me any. Thank God I am not a boomer. My poor parents are though.
In my mind, happiness is a transient feeling, having to do with positive circumstances. Joy and contentment, on the other hand, are states of being independent of negative circumstances. I don't believe were made for happiness, but we were made for joy and contentment. Those who live live with joy and contentment do tend to be happy, too.
Many people wouldn't make this distinction.
WTC, I'm not doing her/his homework for her/him. I don't have the time or inclination to post 50 years worth of history, not to mention scientific, medical, and technological breakthroughs. But I can't resist mentioning that the achievements of Boomers like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs make it possible for ABNS to post on this forum.
Forgive me, I left out great Baby Boomer Jim Robinson whose hard work and dedication gives us this forum.
We were also sold out completely by the JFK/LBJ/Robert McNamara generation in Vietnam.
We are the most lied to, sold out, cheated generation in history even as a big chunk of the a**holes in my generation bought into the "you are so wonderful" bulls**t our elders pushed on us.
You following are the laziuest, most self oriented disinterested bunch of a**wipes to come along.
When we are gone you are well and truly f**cked! Nobody going to buy the swimming pool for you punk!
Room full of people sharing a conversation? Give me FReepers, anytime!
You following are the laziuest, most self oriented disinterested bunch of a**wipes to come along.>>>
I laugh at you. If only you knew.
I think that our parents made the world better, and that also our children are also doing such.
We Boomers are a spoiled self indulgent lot, and I doubt that writers of the future will deem us as the greatest anything.
OMG a Bo Derek picture.
Thanks for sharing!
