[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nah, it's just a few bitter people who can't stand their parents and instead of accepting that their families suck they want to make it a generation-wide problem.

Btw, the poster is incredibly easy to taunt. [/quote]

I don't think it's just a few bitter people.

Consider what the boomers have consumed, versus what they've produced.

Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were boomers.  You'd be typing your messages on carbon paper and mailing them to the newspaper without BB innovations.  [/quote]

Well, if Bill Gates was giving his fortune to shore up Medicare or something, I'd feel differently. Instead he's spending it in Africa.

There are exceptions to every observation, that's why they're general observations. I didn't say Boomers didn't produce anything. I just said they have consumed more. In contrast to the Greatest Generation, which was thrifty, Boomers consumed, consumed, consumed. And so now, many of them cannot retire, which means there's less upward mobility in jobs for younger generations.[/quote]
