The baby boomers need to look no further than themselves:
The vast majority took no personal responsibility for their liberty and let government get out of control.
The vast majority practiced nearly zero family values and instead relied on public education, public services, and the media (tv in general) to provide guidance and morals for their children.
And the vast majority are now complaining about the confused generation of losers they created as if it's our fault we're so ****ed in the head.
Agreed, but to tell a 22 year old it's time to grow up and stop being an adolescent is old fashioned and unenlightened. Not all millennials are like that but a great deal of them are. I had a friend who was 23 with a degree, living with his parents, working part time at Target, and in his free time would play with Legos and action figures and run around his parents' home naked. There is something definitely wrong there when a twentysomething acts like a Pre-teen. His parents are at fault for continuing to coddle him but at 23 you are old enough to have a grip. You are seeing this more and more in the younger generation that coincidentally all voted for Obama.

I don't know if this anecdote is true, but if it is, it still does not represent the majority of 23 year olds.

What 23 year old runs around naked playing with legos? You made that up or he has a mental disability. Last time I checked there were plenty of 23 year old baby boomers running around naked in hippyland.
Men just need to grow up and not expect women to do all the work for them. Granted, a lot of women let them get away with this.
I know a woman who once a week goes to her son's apartment to clean it. He's 30 years old.
She needs to let him go, and women need to stop cleaning up after men. I finally had had it with my husband. I did 100% of the cleaning, and then I got sick with the flu and went to bed. After a couple of days, my husband started whining: "I have no clean underwear." The hamper was overflowing with dirty clothes. He has no excuses, we both work at home.
I had to get out of bed with the flu and do the laundry (I made him help me). It's not that difficult, the laundry room is on the first floor of our apartment building. I was mad, though. But I guess his Mommy did all of the cleaning in their home.
Anyway, I told him that if he expected me to do 100% of the cleaning, plus all the cooking, plus washing my clothes, plus the sheets, and the towels, and the tablecloths, well, if I was going to do all that --- I wasn't washing his clothes anymore. His laundry piled up and up. Finally, he realized that I meant it.
This has nothing to do with voting for Obama and/or Romney.
It's not just in America. About one third of young men in Italy stay home with their parents when they are adults. They love the cooking and the cleaning that is done for them. Why shouldn't they? I wish someone cooked and cleaned for me.
Being 23, I'm tired of this constantly being said as I have my **** together, work a fantastic job that I got to on my own with zero help, have run my own company successfully, have never committed any crime and am constantly looking to do good to other human beings.
That said, I completely agree. EDIT: Except for the exclusion of women. They're just as terrible. Move your labia from your eyes and admit it.

Complete tripe. Now it's all the baby boomers fault which I migt add comprised two decades of people. Never mind their parents were mostly educated in public schools. TV has been around since the fifties. And what about civil rights? Should we turn back the clock prior to the boomers and send blacks to the back of the bus?
Maybe you should live a few more decades and realize each generation has issues to overcome.
As far as government being out of control I am sure the GOP will tell you it started way back with FDR.
