I’m a boomer. We go to church at least once a week, spend 20+ hours a week volunteering, both are gainfully employed, have saved enough to retire comfortably. We are surrounded by Xer’s in our neighborhood who can’t “walk” their dogs or pick up their mail without a 4-wheeler, who exhibit all the degenerate, hedonistic behavior of which you accuse boomers, and are generally unpleasant to have as neighbors.
I beg you, stop with the ugly stereotyping of an entire generation. Most of us do not deserve it and it reeks of bigotry.

If I am not mistaken...you just did the same thing.

I’m a boomer, too, but I always refer to us as the generation that ruined the world. My Uncle from the previous generation says it wasn’t us that did it. It was the “Greatest Generation” that spoiled the hell out of us that’s responsible.

I should have stated the obvious "there are exceptions" caveat, but didn't. My apologies for omitting that... Certainly my parents are an exception (taught me that living with someone you're not married to is abnormal, and other traditional values), Rush Limbaugh is an exception, and millions of others.
Yes, the things you described are sickening, and no generation is exempt from sin. The boomers as a group had it fairly easy compared to the WWII generation - the 1950's vs. the 1930's. I believe all this is obvious, however, and won't comment further. Sorry for not stating the caveat...
