The Most Selfish Generation

[KrazyHorse]

Who's drake?

[Kuciwalker]

IIRC Drake has a cushy government job.

[-Jrabbit]

Glad you're doing well, Drake. So why all the rage? You sound like an unemployed guy blaming all his problems on whatever ethnic group his replacement belongs to.

Or is this just a troll like Asher's recent Annual Ban-Ben thread?

[SlowwHand]

Without the boomers we could have had a separate (but equal) forum for Tupac.

He needs a padded room next to Mobius so they can both sit around and babble without bothering people.

[Barnabas]

I agree with Oerdin and Drake, the generations that produced May of 68 in Europe and Hippies in the USA is probably the worst generation ever.

[Aeson]

Sorry... I thought this was the thread for blaming everything that has happened in the past ~60 years on boomers?

[giblets]

Without the boomers we could have had a separate (but equal) forum for Tupac.

How many prominent figures in the civil rights struggle were baby boomers? Martin Luther King was part of the "silent generation", for example.

[DaShi]

Sad, really.

[Tupac Shakur]

I'm the most successful person on this board, you Boomer idiot. My life is well under control, but that fact is irrelevant to a discussion of just how terrible the Baby Boomers have been for America.

[-Jrabbit]

There you go again:

Conflating the actions of individuals with the government's mismangement

Either take control of your life and do something about it, or tell your story walking, whiner.

Boomers

[Tupac Shakur]

I didn't ask for social security; it was in place long before I entered the workforce.

Nice that you didn't mention Medicare, which is the program that will do the most to fleece the next generation and the program you selfish Boomer *******s added a spendy prescription drug benefit to during the Bush Administration.

It's a social contract that was forced on me, and I'm well within my rights to expect delivery of the promised payback for my lifelong contribution.

Unless you die early, you're going to take out more than you ever put in, you greedy bastard.

GenX/Y whiner, always looking for an easy way out and blaming everyone else for not making your life easy enough.

Not making our lives easy enough? You're making our lives hard, much harder than you ever had it, and you're ruining the country in the process. Jesus, your myopia and sense of entitlement is unbelievable.

[Ben Kenobi]

My parents worked hard in mid-income jobs and did everything they could to support their family. I have told them that I hope they spend their last dollar with their dying breath --

Some of us don't have this option. You're lucky to still have yours.

Interesting study I saw the other day, that taking into account what inflation has done to wages, men make about as much as they did in the 50s. Thanks boomers for looking out for us! I'd be happy if I just got left alone. Really I would. Obama has been a terrible president and if he just sat on his hands rather then trying to screw me over, I'd be thankful.

Some boomers do have the best interests of everyone in mind, but there's not enough of them to counteract the folks who do just the opposite.

[Ben Kenobi]

You can't jointly blame them for environment, and for not reproducing enough. Having more kids would have been even more devastating to the environment. And overpopulation is a massive issue.

So why not kill off everyone to save the planet? Starting with you?
