[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love how it highlights in a humorous way how greedy and entitled boomers are. They are truly the generation that got theirs and then pulled up the ladder behind them. [/quote]

Sorry your parents hated you so much that you blast the entire generation. Time for a timeout.[/quote]

Am I supposed to pretend all generations are the same? Sorry but no.

[b]Overall, boomers are pretty selfish and have consumed way more than their fair share of our resources.[/b] But I’m glad that the boomers in your life aren’t like that. Hopefully you are grateful. [/quote]

Any evidence at all for this assertion?  I mean, aside from your self-absorption?  [/quote]

NP here, are you serious?  There are countless studies on generational characteristics, people make a tidy living giving corporate presentations on this type of stuff.  I just sat through one for course credits and he specifically characterized Boomers as spending everything they've got before they die and "sliding in [to the grave] with the wheels on fire."  I don't want or need an inheritance, but spending it all and leaving nothing behind is a legitimate characteristic of that generation.  As are selfishness, failure to protect the environment, and general sense that public goods (land, public services, etc) are to be used up by them without thought to leaving anything for other people.

[b]The training I sat through had an interesting bit about the rewards each generation finds most motivating. The generation before Boomers valued security over all, the Boomers value status, older Gen X value knowledge, younger Gen X and older Gen Y value inclusion, and younger Gen Y value freedom[/b].[/quote]

That is interesting. I think I mostly buy it; seems pretty accurate. [/quote]
