[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boomers are a mixed bag.

They did a lot of good -- moving women into nontraditional roles in big numbers, starting the GLBT rights movement, supporting a the Civil Rights movement started by the Silent Generation, pushing for the end of the draft,  sexual liberation movement, environmental movement, beginning the revolution in computers and communication technology, opening up the culture to more diversity.

Those things caused a lot of upset, though, and unintentional consequences. That's hard to live with, especially if you are a kid at the time.

Boomers are also huge compared to Gen X, and insufferably smug. They also tend to criticize Xers and Millenials for not being Boomers and they NEVER see the good things that Xers and Millenials have going. [/quote]Oh please, this is the kind of generalization which is extremely annoying.  You are talking about a small group of people who were actively involved in the good things as well as the bad things.  These discussions in fact revolve around complaints about white middle class people who came of age in the 60s rather than including [i]all[/i] boomers, regardless of race, regardless of class background, regardless of when they were born during the baby boom era.

But you're just an imprecise person, I guess.[/quote]
