Why do people hate the Baby Boomers?

[Oddball]

Kinda like the politicians of this generation too.

They're the spoiled brats of spoiled brats.....Going downhill fast.

Instead of 1970s & 80s Public School they went to Private Schools called “ Play Mountain Place”

Today's generation seems to have a lot of gender confusion.
They believe that the earth will end in the near future.
They seem to be easily manipulated be social media.

They weren't taught how to think, they've been taught what to think.

Were that really true, they'd be smarter than they act to be.

My Gen X brother transfered out of gubmint school to a private for HS, and was at first caugh off guard over how they actually expected you to perform to get a grade....He was smart enough to get off his ass and did very well.

A lot of them have never known a world without the internet.

Virtual stupidity has manifested into actual stupidity.

I am a Boomer.

I had a great childhood in the 1950s. It was great to be a teen and young adult in the 1960s. Probably the best time ever.

I learned to work hard by parents that survived the Great Depression.

I learned to love this country from a WWII veteran Dad and a patriotic mother.

I was the first one in my family to complete High School.

I served in a war.

I came home and went to college and graduated with no debt. I was the first one in my family to graduate college.

I married a wonderful woman withe same Conservative values as myself.

I had a great career as an Engineer and paid a ton of taxes.

Both my wife and I did all kinds of community service.

One of my sons is a combat veteran. Both my sons are successful.

I have a great retirement and life has been good.

Most of my Boomer friends have similar stories.

You can bitch about Boomers all you want and after you get through you can kiss my ass.

They think they will die because of man made global warming and that socialism will make them more prosperous. Dumbshits!

Why do people hate the Baby Boomers so much?
Is it envy?
We have better music, movies, books and TV Shows.
We had style.
We had cool cars.
We created the Internet, HDTV, PC computers, and Cellphones
We created a cushy world for the Millennials and Gen Xers and GenZers to live in.
Today's generation doesn't have any original style.

7 Reasons Baby Boomers are the Worst Generation

Fact: Tom Brokaw was correct; the Greatest Generation of Americans was the generation that fought and sacrificed to win World War II, who would go on to build modern America after the war. Fact: Everyone hates Generation Y/Milennials or whatever they call kids aged 14-30. Fact: It was the Baby...

How the baby boomer generation is the real problem, according to 21 millennials

21 millennials told Insider why baby boomers are responsible for the many problems millennials now face.

Ok. So, thanks for Pong. I just want to get that out of the way.


But, let's put this in perspective. The Boomers were also the generation that put people in prison during a rehash of the Satanic Panic extended version during the 1980s and 1990s. This is also the generation that could get a degree in one area and then work in almost any field because they had a degree. They turned around and reduced higher ed funding in the states. They continued to allow illegal aliens in the country to lower the wages. Continuous war. I don't want to forget that we heard the never again mantra and then watched Darfur. Mmmhmmm. Good times.

I don't hate the Boomers. Most of Gen X raised themselves. I just think it's inappropriate to be subjected to lectures now from the Boomers and especially about politics. The Boomers and the Millennials can beat the shit out of each other all day long.
I'll just grab a beer and

right after I finish mowing the lawn.

Edited for the following: I just want to give a special shout out to outsourcing our R&D. Thanks. Really. That one was brilliant.

Baby Boomers were coke addicted adults in the 80's.

that is true to a certain extent, there was a surge of cocaine addiction in the 70's, in fact there were a lot of Boomers who died from drugs, Joplin, Hendricks, Morrison

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The Millennials, the Gen Xers, the GenZers do not have any distinctive style and their music stinks.

 

[MarathonMike]

There are plenty of us who believe themselves to be entitled as well.

A lot of our parents who went through the privations of the depression and war years swore to not allow their children to experience those things, and the results show in a generation who -to a large degree- can't take hard times.

A fair point. Since WWII, each generation seems a bit softer than the one before it.

Baby Boomers were coke addicted adults in the 80's.

That is an exagerration possibly fueled by Hollywood depictions of the 70s and 80s.

 

[Mr Natural]

Why?

Because we had the best of everything.

There's a lot I love about the generation likes music, cars, space program and so much more. But I'd say feminism, the break down of the family, the destruction of morality, our destructive immigration policies and so many of today's problems derive from this generation.

Most of those destructive polices were intiated by The Greatest Generation.

Baby Boomers were the most fit Generation in history

Sure they were. Had the biggest wieners too according to them at least.

 

[Dekster]

We gave you what you have today you sound like a spoiled brat.

Blame the baby boomers, not me. You victimized us and now demand burnt offerings to you as pagan gods.

Nobody hates BB's. They are just a soft target for political satire.
