Of course you are correct. The demograhics are fascinating (notice nobody is discussing the original article which had to do with the cultural differences between waves of boomers), but it's almost impossible to discuss these things without them getting personal.

Interestingly, I have far more quarrels with 'Nintendo' Xers than I do with boomers, yet you rarely see these discussions get personal between younger and older x-ers, or between younger and older boomers. Weird.

I think the fundamental problem with this thread is that some folks are insisting that others admit they deserve "blame" for ideological or societal changes that they personally fought against.

And they are doing so based on entirely artificial constructs... Boomers 1946-1964 and X-ers 1965-1981 could have just as easily been classified under different names and lumped together through the years 42-58 and 59-75 or other sets of numbers. The changes in society one would be expected to accept personal blame for would change based on the whim of the individual setting the ranges.
