. If that doesn't represent your generation, then I have met the outspoken minority who gives you all a bad name.....Well that makes two of us. The X'ers I met never got a job until they got out of college, their parents paid for everything. They came home during semester breaks and sat on the couch and played video after they dragged themselves out of bed at noon. Early evening they'd jump in their car, that their parents bought for them and didn't come home till early morning so they could repeat the cycle.

When and if they did graduate, they continued living off their parents, expecting to be taken care of until just the right job came along, which most parents wouldn't mind if they were really looking but many continued their break cycle and looked for work intermittenlly.

We boomers as you call us were either thrown out or married by the time we were eighteen and if we happen to be working, which most of us were if we wanted any clothes or spending money, had paid rent.

I'm Generation Y (born in 1982).

Quite frankly, you've got a skewed view.

I've worked my butt off every summer. Volunteered in community service since middle school. Study my butt off in chemistry in college.

Yes, my parents have been good to me. They have paid for my college education, and helped with my car and insurance. And I'm grateful. But I am not spoiled. I worked 60 hrs a week that summer, and still couldnt come up with enough to buy a reliable used car. With their help, I was able to get a 1989 Honda Civic.

To be honest, my generation is fed up with the crap we've been fed. They've been sold a bill of goods. The liberal crap we've been force-fed by your generation has galled us. Your generation saddled us with 3 trillion in debt, a welfare state and a social-security pyramid scheme thats about to go bankrupt. And you have the gall to complain about my generation? I don't care what you did in WWII. Greatest generation my foot.
