Just because one doesn't like the direction another thread is going doesn't make your position so important that you somehow feel it should have its own thread.
Really all that does is support the positions you don't like in the other. Everything isn't about you.
not responsible for social change??? civil rights movement, anti war movement, environmental movement, consumer protection movement ---
none of that counts?

Most were too young to be "responsible" for these movements, especially the civil rights movement.
As far as spoiled, not as much as Gen Y. Where we have failed is allowing liberals and education unions to destroy free thought and expression in our schools and program Gen Y to think they are victims and are owed something by society.
Where we have succeeded is continuing and escalating the dominance of the USA in technology, military power, and economic might. To the next Generation, do it better....but you're off to a rotten start as far as I can see.
Two boomers admit about how their generation is spoiled

Small Sample
This is the fallacy of using too small a sample. If the sample is too small to provide a representative sample of the population, and if we have the background information to know that there is this problem with sample size, yet we still accept the generalization upon the sample results, then we use the fallacy.

The boomer generation's parents went through the depression. They did not spoil the boomers. They understood getting through hardship requires prudence and persistance.
It is actually the boomers who are doing the spoiling of the Gen Y and millenial children.
Just look at all the threads of the whiney little children who are not getting everything they want. They just blame someone else for their ineptitude.

By your logic we should be blaming the 'greatest generation' for the alleged shortcomings of the boomers, eh?
