I'm not a boomer or a millennial, but I'd say that the boomers were the worst until the Entitlement Generation (born 1991-present) came around.

It's ironic that you use the internet, created by baby boomers, to complain that they have done nothing.

The internet was invented in 1969. The oldest baby boomer would have been 23.

of course I mean in modern times... but I think they might have been the sleaziest, laziest, most self-centered generation of all time.

What did they do that was good?

They wrecked social security, they wrecked the health care system, they wrecked the economy, they wrecked congress.

They quickly made of mockery of our legislative and executive branches.

Look what they did to the banks! The education system! The stock market!

Oh, and good job on space exploration, boomers. You wrecked NASA, too.

Now they sit around watching Fox News, pretending they did something productive.

They also sucked at sports.

They didn't ruin anything. The folks in charge ruined it, which you sense on some level, but you have been trained to blame anyone but those in charge, for fear of being called racist, hater, nazi, intolerant, anti-semite, etc. The folks in charge actually created the war on poverty to pull money from the space program, to kill it, btw. They have admitted as much in their "intramural" publications, laughing about working as a group amongst clueless goyim.

I will give the boomers credit for being tougher than the generations that followed. They weren't completely brain-washed cowards like the youth, meaning white youth, of today. People like you will see your mother being raped and beaten by a person of color in Detroit, or by a gang of immigrants from Latin America, and all you will do is cower and offer to lick the sacks of the attackers in order to avoid being hurt yourselves.

Wake up and go after the folks who really ruined things. Stop picking on this generation, that generation. All the "generations" of the past 80 years have been used and abused. And the current youth will pay the most, not much will be left. Do you think this population replacement program, using primitive peoples from South of the Border is natural? An accident? And keep in mind the dependence on social programs by these peoples is increasing each generation. All by design.

Well said. But, really, you must agree that the current entitlement generation is the worst yet?

It's called the Millennials.

Generation X was filled with narcissistic, selfish, "what's in it for me" people.

The Millennials are working for non-profits at a rate higher than that of any other generation.

The Millennials are volunteering at higher rates than Boomers or Gen X.

Millennials have already added more advancements to tech and medicine than any other generation.

Millennials are also more optimistic for the future than Gen X and Boomers, (over problems that Boomers and Gen X have caused).

It is funny that you mention the Internet: something that was envisioned and planned by the Greatest Generation, ignored by the boomers, put into place by the Gen Xers and perfected by the Millenials.

Nice try, though.

Really? The 23 year olds and younger are the worst generation? Give me a break. They've had what? 1 chance to vote? They haven't even had time to have an impact. They're going to school and getting master degrees waiting for the Baby Boomers to retire or drop dead so they can get the chance to enter the work force and contribute to society while stacking debt to get an education in this over inflatted country.

Are you sure you meant to use the word "ironic?"

Yes, the 23 year olds have had one chance to vote, and they are 0-1. But let's give this generation some time. Give them a break. There is a good chance that this generation will eventually get wiser. I think the 20 Something's might even get it right by 2016.

Boomers - GMO Foods

Boomers - To Big To Fail

Boomers - HFT

Boomers - Outsourcing

Boomers - Big Box Retailers

Of course the "entitlement generation" (stupid name if you ask me) are getting called the worst generation ever. They are being called that by the boomers, yet most people in the "entitlement generation" were raised by boomers.

Why call a bunch of ~20 year olds the worst generation ever when they haven't had a chance to do anything.

Generation Aught has been the least productive and most dependent generation in American history. Get a paper route or mow a lawn, kids!

The folks in charge of the Boomers....were not Boomers.

Al Gore is a baby boomer.

As a GenXer I have to say I hate the Boomers. They seem to God Up the celebrities of their generation worse than anyone. The generation before and all generations after the Boomers seem to accept celebs as regular people, not the Boomers. Elvis, Jim Morrison, The Beatles, etc.. are all GODS! Everything they touched or sang is sacrosanct.

dude, what do you mean "were"

lots of boomers are going to be alive for a long time...
