Yes that dose make you Generation Y

You are a Millenial (you became an adult in the new millenium) but you were born before 9-11 so you are Generation Y

Thank you 4 your time

There are plenty of GenX'ers with a Christian worldview - often its expression is different than the boomers who subverted traditional religion with their narcissism and navel gazing.

Gen Y and gen Xers who call themselves conservatives yet at the same time rail against the boomer gen need to take a reality check.

The boomer gen has been like most all gens before it. 33% feel one way, 33% feel the opposite, and you have 33% in the lukewarm middle.

The odds were stacked against boomers from the beginning. Socialism was on the rise. Look at what LBJ did. Now we have the internet which will prove to be the turning point(if there is one) in the battle against socialism. Boomers have put the most money into SS and chances are most of us will not reap anything from it.

The greatest gen gave us SS and the federal reserve. These two things will prove to be the greatest enemy of the X&Yers.

The hate has to stop. Its the fedgov.org that has created the problem, not the boomers. The boomers will leave behind massive amounts of wealth to the genXYers and all they do is whine. Gov.org is out to steal that wealth. You must change the gov.org not hate the boomers.

Boomers were not spoiled. If anything they are guilty of spoiling their kids. Most boomers raised their families in a era when both spouses had to work in order to give their kids what they thought was best.

Bottom line is I can see LIBERAL genXYers whining and blaming boomers. But it astounds me that conservatives are whining instead of fighting to change things. We have given you greatest weapon in the history of mankind (the internet) to fight socialism. USE IT!!!!!!!

No Generation Z is everyone born after 9-11 (2002 & later). 9-11 changed our lives forever so thats why it's the Generation line.

Also if 1990 was the Generation line that would make for a VERY short Generation Y (it started in 1982)
