One of the comments, "they managed to destroy in one generation, what took 6 generations to build". How is that possible. Sure, they are self centered, self important, alot of things. But how do you destroy things so quickly?
Ungrounded people living in fantasy land dont make the best role models do they? But you still have to try to love them because they are your parents and a product of their circumstances and culture.The best you can do is to learn from their mistakes and do the best you can.

Why would I at 55 almost 56 have someone in his/her 20s, you know-living in fantasy land and ungrounded, as a role model?
You could do much worse than having a baby boomer as a role model.

True, everything is relative. Irresponsible parenting is tough to justify however you look at it though.
It seems more often than not that the more things progress the more they can go backwards and cause more problems.Maybe it is just getting worse before it gets better to prepare for the next "progression" Lots of wisdom in the Good Book.

How laughable.
Is this what they teach in school these days?
Things started to be destroyed in 1964, well before a single baby boomer ever voted, when Lyndon Johnson started the great society and the Vietnam war. It was the great society and Vietnam that got out away from balanced budgets and down the road to spending like drunk sailors.
I was drafted and sent to Vietnam before I was old enough to vote and you think you got it tough, little boy?
The first baby boomer didn't get to vote until 1966 or 67 and most didn't get to vote for the first time until the 1970's. Learn some math and history before you start making pronouncements that make you look like an idiot.
Generation blah blah seems to want to place the blame on Reagan but during the Reagan years most baby boomers were still to young to write policy or serve in congress.
The road we are on today has been a long one.... we've been traveling on it for near 50 years now.
The internet truly is making the younger generation dumb.
You should read Is the Internet Making Us Stupid? because it fits a lot of 20 somethings today. Incapable of reasoning or thought they get all their information in little 30 second video clips.
This is exactly why we got that idiot Obama in office.
Actually, Medicare wasn't set up to pay immediate benefits to the Baby Boomer generation. At the time Medicare was created, the leading edge of the World War II generation was starting to retire. It was set up so that the succeeding 3 generations help pay for their medical costs. Without Medicare, the burden would fall entirely on the immediate offsprings to help their parents in old age and only the well-off and well-intentioned would fullfill their obligations. One could draw a parallel to how public education is funded in this country.
The baby boomers deserve the wrath of America. They are the ones who introduced large scale drug use, sexual immorality and the welfare society. I was born in 72, sucking my thumb while the boom generation burned thier bras and protested the war. I have lived my entire life listening to this self centered generation brag about thier exploits in the 60s and 70s. I have also lived my entire life with the consequences of thier adolescent temper tantrum. Most of the ills of society today can be traced back to what they did back then. We have an almost anything goes society, which is exactly what they wanted back then. Today we have promiscuity, open homosexuality, sex changes, drug use is common and this was all made possible by the baby boom. These behaivors led to a skyrocketing divorce rate and broken families. Today we expect the goverment to take care of us, fix our lives when we make bad decisions, in fact the goverment is alot like everyones daddy. This socialist view would not be possible without the babyboomers. Worst of all, we are becoming a totaly godless society because of all this, after all the boomers hated rules and tradition so Americans have turned away from thier God. Thanks to the baby boomers we are a society in decline. The damage they did in the 60s and 70s is not repairable. Values are now getting worse with each generation (look at the mess that is the millenial gen), and this will continue untill we finaly destroy ourselves. Peace love dope everyone
Bascailly its the X generation who are use to parents and loig for government tonow take care of them. They whine about no job then think that showing upo on time is wroking. hey can't figure out teh income difference between them and others of their generation. its what htose other did while the X whiners were asocailisng in school.Its the difference between those that have something a company wants and those that come with nothing. Its only going to get wide with the dropout rate.Those that can do;those that can't whine.I6ts funny to complain that boomers did it and then say they have all the good jobs when they are the ones that changed to a society of small business owners from large companies. I say if X generation is so smart then they should do the same as boomers did.Afterall boomers are in their late 50's to 60's and the next generation has been in middle age for some time. Some are doing great others have been hanging out too long in life.It seems many in thier 20's have dropped out at a very high rate. Those that didn't have little competition really if they get the right degreee. Theywil make boomers incoem levels look samllbecause of the deamnd for them,. Afterall tehy have to import talent now days with this generation.
