Perhaps the legacy of the Generation Xers is that they are the first generation to be so damn ungrateful that they blame everything wrong with their lives on the people who did the best they could before these whiney babies came along.
You may be on to something... X-ers certainly have known greater levels of scientific and medical advancement, comfort, wealth and security than any prior generation.
A lack of hardship in children leads to self-indulgence, feelings of entitlement and skewed perspective of their good fortune.
X-ers.... The Spoiled Rotten Generation LOL
Ahem. All the things you listed were material things. More on that in a minute. The ingratitude comes from the fact that half, i repeat HALF of them come from broken homes. I grew up in a lower-middle class setting, but my parents stayed together. I was far more stable than my wealthier friends whose parents had divorced. This is a black spot on the soul of my generation that will never go away. Stuff? Oh yeah, Daddy would load the kids down with all the toys they wanted and sugared cereals to make up for the fact that he was always off with his 20-year-old bimbo.
And all that affluence? You know, single parenthood is the greatest cause of pathology and poverty. And guess what divorce causes? You got it, SINGLE PARENTHOOD! Many Xers grew up less-than-well-off because their parents couldn't keep it together.
Although I, too get tired of Xer whining, at least I know where it comes from. Yours was a cheap shot.
