PSA to baby boomers: You're supposed to make things BETTER for the next generation, not worse

of course not

Everything that has made your life simple in the last 40 years is due to boomers. Not our calf if mills are too lazy to help themselves.

I worked full time every summer and never came close to making enough to pay for college and I went to a state school. mayeb some people paid for college with income from summer jobs but I don't know of any. And you guys at least get to choose whether or not you want to get maimed or killed in a pointless war or figure some way of dealing with conscription. That alone makes for a much more simple life Every generation makes some bits of life better for the next generation and other bits worse.

Your generations has accomplished the following since being in charge

- Drop in the value of wages

-Degenerate behavior has become the norm

-Drug usage became cool

-Running up national debt beyond belief

-Growth of Govt off the charts

-Race tensions

-The worst media in history

You boomers control all these institutions, you have for the last 30 yr, and you wont go away. Go away.

When we are gone we will be replaced by Social Justice Warriors who think socialism can work. Don't expect anything to get better.

Kyoto how about you f*ck off. Talk about running or GTFO.

Boomers created them. Boomers ran the college campuses for the last 30 years. Boomers caved in. Boomers wrote curriculum. Gender studies? Boomers sanctioned it. Boomers granted "safe space" "speech codes" and affirmative action admissions. They INVENTED these things just for the Millennial. No 21 year old college student makes policies. 50 to 70 yr old Deans and Presidents do. Millennials are a monster BOOMERS made.

^ A million claps.

The boomers did many great things, but, in the end, they collectively ruined the country. They had a safe world handed to them by the Greatest Generation, with nice jobs and careers, only to vote in policies that sent those same jobs out of the country for future generations. Now, on their way out the door, they insist on legalizing drugs, expanding entitlements, opening the borders, spending like we can just print money, printing money, castigating religion, ruining the families of tens of millions through poorly incentivized social programs, and making the country hate itself. Way to go, Most Selfish Generation.

Before you boomers go whining that you didn't do these things -- yes, you did. You did it through your votes, at the ballot box and through your wallets. You voted for cheaper labor, cheaper goods, politicians you knew were crooked, trillions in debt, etc. You supported entertainment that demonized traditional morality and turned religion into a joke. Those things come at a cost, only you won't pay it. It will be paid by future generations. Generation X was too early to feel the full effects. Millenials are getting it full force. They're hosed.

Lets not forget the cockamamy ideas boomer judges rule on in courts. Some of the biggest mental gymnastics possible. Result of hard drugs in the 60s to 70s. Listening to crazy lyrics and reading feminist poetry at coffee shops, and not washing for weeks on end. Filthy. You cleaned yourselves up and got into corporate america, the fed bench, classrooms, and you were allowed to do it. Even your scumbag bankers managed to convince the country they were too big to fail. You disgust me, boomers

You are almost completely right. Liberals did all those things. Us conservatives fought it and lost and became public enemy #1 for our troubles. For what it's worth, I'm sorry that I wasn't good enough to defeat the left, but you can see me fighting here and the kind of progress I'm making, none. I could explain the inevitability of all this and how it could not be avoided, but that would derail the thread.

The question is, what are you going to do about it? Do you know how to fight the monster? Have you tried?

You know what will help turn things around? Starting threads complaining about boomers on Letsrun.

Fair enough Gary. And yea we are going to have to do something about these lunatic Millenials. I hope we dont fail too.

Gen x

Most of the SJW's don't have meaningful degrees or skillsets so their influence may not be that large. The only thing we really need to worry about is them getting a lot of elected positions of power and having local government offices torn apart since all they need to do is convince all their jobless friends to vote for them.

Handed a safe world by the previous generation? The one where we went on duck and cover drills in our school basements and saw demonstration fallout shelters in grocery stores in case there was a nuclear attack? The one where you could get drafted and killed in Vietnam even though there was no defending the country involved? The one where currency was massively inflated so the Vietnam War could be paid for without increasing the taxes the previous generation paid? The one where "traditional morality" kind of made it okay to beat the crap out of homosexuals? The one where black people were occasionally killed for trying to vote? That safe world? Yeah, life's full of problems that a previous generation passes on to the next one. You'll do the same thing.

They can start repairing the country by getting wages back to where they should be by: deporting illegal labor on a large scale, significantly reducing h1-b visa workers, and cutting taxes (along with unnecessary entitlements and programs).

Here we go with the trademark boomerism = narcissism... "look at me look at me, look what i did!"

Gen X lived through the cold war too you self centered princess.

Lgbt confuses children. You've made race relations worse because your view on it is to bash white people no matter what. You protested the war, lost it, then when you got control your generation started 5 wars. Youre insane. RETIRE
