Reply #169: So all that happened to you and yet [View All]

the thing that gets your goat enough to rant about in a topic asking why people bash Boomers is that a whole generation is milking one decade, claiming that people as old as your father, who are using hair color or Viagra or whatever, and Dennis Hopper, sending "We're still cool and relevant" advertising messages to my generation are...I forget the exact words, but you said something like you find them disgusting.

Interesting.

Well, seeing as all those awful things were visited upon you by your parents, perhaps your disgust with Baby Boomers in general has nothing to do with US.

Perhaps it's just a safe way of being angry with your parents for the miserable life they visited upon you.

And again, I say...when you get older you learn that it's a matter of perspective.

Sit there and judge all of us with high-horse contempt if you wish, for being happy and proud to have been a part of a generation that was a catalyst for lots of changes that you and your children will benefit from for a long time to come.

All that pain in your life...yet the ones you seem to have the most contempt and disgust for are people you don't even know. A whole generation, in fact.

there's not a whole lot anyone can say to that
