[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the boomers by in large are the most self centered generation of the last 100 years.[/quote]

I agree and think there is a serious case to be made for this. The boomers have been self-indulgent for themselves, judgmental and unfair to their elders who went through hell thank-you-very-much, and exploitative to the following generations.

Just to take one example, look at the cost of higher education under the boomer generation's leadership - administrator positions and administrator pay have skyrocketed while nomadic adjuncts slave without benefits for rock bottom wages and no job security and the young people take on untenable debt to get a degree that won't get them a good job. Execrable.

Speaking as an X-er, the boomers are just a damn bad influence. They were always there with some bad advice that would lead you astray if you followed it. Next thing you know you have to leave the cult/go to rehab/get a real job/pay off the debt/ shake off the gender studies claptrap etcetera. La la la live for today [i]mm hmm.[/i]

Recently some boomer in congress was advocating for reinstating the draft, I forget who. Oh excuse me, it was not okay for you but just fine for the suckers who were born after you, what? Typical.[/quote]Ha ha! Yes, our evil plot succeeded! Never mind that I, as a boomer, was forced out of academia because of the lack of jobs dating well back to the [i]70s[/i].  We just live to ruin it all for you younger people!  I so love to see younger people work as adjuncts and suffer financially and professionally (in the way I already have) and I sure as hell wouldn't want my own millenial child to succeed.  Bwa ha ha!

Oh FFS, I don't care what generation you belong to, you lack critical thinking skills -- something that is not tied to any generation in particular.  [i]You[/i] have the problem. I know LOTS of X-ers who don't.  On the other hand, you could just be a troll in which case I give you, say, a B on your trolling.  You need to tighten those skills up a bit but not bad, troll, not bad.[/quote]
