It's age discrimination, what part of it do you not get!? NOT funny!

No one dislikes boomers for being old. People dislike them for being selfish and greedy!

Selfish and greedy? Go stand in front of the Vietnam Wall and say that.

All the least selfish and greedy boomers are already gone, sadly.

No, some of us survived, idiot.

On top of being greedy and selfish, boomers seem so cranky and humorless.

I'm kind of disappointed in you people. I actually thought younger generations were less judgmental and less inclined to stereotype people. Guess not.

Don't be so sore just because they made fun of Boomers for once. Do you still have any sense of self-humor?

Yeah, I don't know why Jews get upset at being stereotyped as rich, powerful oligarchs who control the weather and the global economy. Don't they have any sense of self-humor?

Said the White person when they realized their Black friend overheard them talking negatively about Blacks as a group. "Oh take some light ribbing, FFS!"

No, it’s targeting a particular generation. Boomers have always been awful, whether they were 37 or 67. When Gen X is the same age as Boomers now, the same accusations will not be leveled at them, because they’re not selfish and entitled. Get it?

Wow you don't generalize much about people, do you? And what do you say about whole groups of people based on their race or religion?

My boomer parents did not lose any loved ones to Vietnam.
My husband and I (Gen X) lost many in Afghanistan and Iraq.

And then there’s all the boomers who spit and jeered at the soldiers returning from war...

How about instead of trolling others here on the "Entertainment" thread on DCUM, you spend some of your time getting educated. Start by reading "The Spitting Image" by Lembcke (a Vietnam Vet BTW) and maybe you will learn something factual about history. Like perhaps it was the "Greatest Generation" who were largely responsible.

"Lembcke points out that there were several newspaper accounts of pro-war demonstrators spitting on anti-war demonstrators and suggests that these oral accounts could easily have been reinterpreted and inverted and made into stories about activists spitting on veterans. He highlights the contradictions between the collective memory of today and contemporaneous historical records, like the results from a 1971 poll showing over 94% of returning Vietnam soldiers received a "friendly" welcome. Lembcke also notes how it was older vets from previous wars who most often scorned the returning Vietnam Vets; in 1978 the Vietnam Veterans of America vowed in its founding principle: "Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another"."

In any case, you are a pathetic example of a human (no matter your generation) if you think ridiculing people because of age is fun to do. I imagine you have similar sentiments about minorities, women, gender.

Boomers did not invent the internet. They were just coming out of college when it started.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET

Not the PC

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_personal_computers

Wrong. Steve Jobs, Tim Berners Lee, Bill Gates all born in 1955. All boomers.

WWE is not the internet.

Also, Bill Gates didn’t invent the PC. And what does Steve Jobs have to do with this?

Gates invented Windows which made PC's user friendly with a graphic interface. Prior to that you would have to interact in DOS on a PC. Also, Gates invented desktop applications which were standardized and user friendly. So yes, Gates invented the PC as you know it.

Google Steve Jobs if you've never heard of him or Apple/Mac.

Bill Gates also invented MS-DOs , which was a huge step up from assembly language (I'm a barely boomer who has worked in desktop support since 1990, and get off of my lawn!!).
