Why don't you just go to search and count the number of GenX bashing threads posted to the number of Boomer Bashing threads and you'll see that the Boomers are bashed 50 to 1.
Then ask yourself what generation is bashing the other more????
Your crazy if you think Boomers are not going to defend theirselves.
This is a forum, that's what we do here defend out point of view.
If it's too much for you to take perhaps you should cease until your adult enough to join in.
Likes I said, I ain't no stink'n boomer and yes I voted for Reagan in 1980.
So you "ain't no boomer", you just stink.
How long you been stinkin?
Luck of the draw, nothing to infer from who I chose to reply to in the thread stream, other than that was about where the thread was when I clicked on the post reply link.
I tried to indicate these are oversimplified generalizations. I'm sorry if I couldn't make it any more clear to you. Just to show that there are no hard feelings, and that I'm an equal opportunity generation basher, here's my generalization of generation "X". They're a bunch of slackers. Heck, they are the epitome of the word, there was an epynonymous movie made about them. They are so non-conformist there is a conforming dress code: sloppy, tattooed, and pierced. They're horrible employees, more adept at serving up video game high scores than serving customers. If you do hire them, they whine, whinge, and haven't known a day's hard work in their lives.
Naturally, this hardly describes my closest friends from college who are all generation "X". Out of ten, three are multi-millionaire business owners, four others run their own businesses that put them into the top 3% of the nation's income earners, the rest are top employees in their companies, all are conservatives, and none of us harbor a shred of hostility towards our elders as a group. We simply treat people by their actions as an individual; business has has hammered it into us that is the best way, if our parents didn't get that drummed into us first. The nation is screwed up with too much leftist "do-goodism"; the kind of blind hostility we see in this thread just distracts us from the real task of rooting out the leftist rot by the roots.
There are plenty of opportunities for cooperation between generations. For example, we can come together to support abolishing Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and return to purely private donations and charity. To fund it, generation "X" and later will renounce any and all claims upon the program, giving up everything we've put into them to date. In return, the Boomer generation and older promise to make do with whatever is left in the programs.
