If you’re born on the last day at the end of a generation, you’re responsible for everything those that came before did or didn’t do.
If you’re born the next day, you’re not responsible for anything those that came before did or didn’t do. Makes perfect sense. No, no it doesn’t. It’s pretty stupid. How about taking responsibility for yourself instead of blaming others for your failures, regardless of the generation. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So Millennials think Boomers destroyed the economy by focusing on careers for Americans and their solution is to flood the country with H1B visas make the economy better?  H1B visa's will take your jobs or lower your salary. Millennials apparently enjoy being dumb.You can throw a lot of things at them, h1b's were instituted in the 90's not sure we can pin this one millenials |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Gen X up to this point has been off the radar but we are already becoming targets. I just saw some crab ass pansy make a boomer and gen x ruined my life comment here a couple days ago. When the boomers are gone it will be all our fault. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: https://www.yahoo.com/news/self-centered-boomers-destroyed-economy-110000723.html "Their greed destroyed the economy — and now millennials and Gen Z are paying the price" It gets better from there. As a GenX the next few years should be fun while these 2 groups slug it out. There are some points about offshoring and cost cutting in lieu of innovating and current corporate management that is more interested in quarter to quarter results than long term viability. But also some of it is liberal tripe.... "But as boomers became a steadily more powerful political bloc — peaking as a share of the electorate in 2004 and remaining the largest generational slice of voters until sometime shortly before 2020 — they elected politicians who pursued immigration policy that has slowly closed the door to prospective residents." It's a bit hard to swallow we've been closed minded to immigrants with the current situation, H1bs for the last 30 years and numerous give aways to attract all manner of 3rd worlders. Ironically they were raised by the boomers, so what happens when the kids kick the parents out of the house?  Gen X up to this point has been off the radar but we are already becoming targets. I just saw some crab ass pansy make a boomer and gen x ruined my life comment here a couple days ago. When the boomers are gone it will be all our fault. Hell they're aren't enough of us to make a difference. The only thing we've got going for us now is we have all the job experience . I plan to get well paid for it

Quote HistoryQuoted: Then change it. (hopefully for the better) You wouldn't want to live or work like a lot of the Great Generation had to. They worked hard to improve their and their families lives. Same for most of the "boomers". You enjoy a much higher standard of living than the majority of those two generations. Now fair enough; I think that you have a great claim for Great Generation & "boomer" politicians, lawyers, business moguls, MIC, lobbyists, three letter agencies, and God knows who else were manipulating the system ("for your own good" yeah right ) to benefit their agendas. Then look again at who is related to who in DC and see why we are so fucked. And tell us how people like AOC (not a boomer) went from "not being able to afford housing in DC" to being iirc a millionaire in what 6 years? I'm sure she must possess Einstein-like abilities. eta: do you think Zuckerburg and the rest of his kind really care about how well you'll live?

I don't want you to think I'm coming from a woe-is-me position or anything. I make a living I enjoy that provides a great life for my wife and I, I want for nothing that I really need, but there is no changing it. America was at her best when she built things, and we ship more and more of that away all the time. We continue to import third worlders to lower the wage of working Americans, and slowly they are transforming America in to a shit hole like that from which they came. Yes, I have a higher standard of living than those that came before me, but to me that doesn't mean a better life. I'd trade places with them if given the opportunity. |

It’s generational divide that was created by the left, but you have people here who have accepted the lie and engage in it. They act like the older generations didn’t fight the leftist while they were coming up too. It’s really sad our side is so divided because of it.
The country is so messed up right now because of leftists politics. It is the fault of leftists from every generation. |

This isn't about "Boomers vs. Millennials".
This is about being taught to blame others for your own failures and to hate old people, seeing them as less-than-human in the march to bring them to the Final Solution for the betterment of society. If this doesn't sound familiar, you simply are not paying attention. GenX will suffer the same fate -- the time will come when THEY will be seen as "the problem" just like Boomers. THEY will be seen as responsible for all the country's ills, and selfish for not simply handing over their jobs and wealth to the youngest gen. |

Hey you, yeah you with the man bun and murse over your shoulder...
Get off my lawn!! Settle down, go get yourself another tattoo. You still have some blank spots left. Here's a Sharpie, in case you're running short this week. Kidding aside, FDR started the slow roll into oblivion and the dems put the pedal to the metal. You could go back farther and say good ol' Woodrow Wilson began it with the Federal Reserve 'bank' thing. The wings really came off during the 1960's, but many boomers were too young to do anything about it. The first ones, born in '46 didn't come of age until '67. Much of the damage was done by then, and institutionalized. Now, the same people who were filthy scumbag hippies during that time, are in positions of power all over the place. They all work from the same script. The generations really have little to do with it, except to distract people from the real damage being done. 1964, silver coins, that was the last year for them. Now we have slugs. '73, Nixon removed all ties to gold, giving us Monopoly money. But don't worry, it's backed by the full faith of the US government, whatever the fuck that is. Ask the Indians how well that went for them. The greatest generation, as called by Tom Brokaw in his book, gave us FDR, four times. The only thing that stopped him from five was he died in office. The quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin, "A republic if you can keep it...". Most congress members don't even know the difference, and couldn't possibly care less. GW Bush said the constitution was just 'a piece of paper'. And he got two terms. We're dealing with the uniparty, and generational warfare just helps the bastards. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: And bled it dry. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Boomers got to live in the best America, and for that I’m jealous. And bled it dry. "kindalazy" ... lulz, ya think, Mr Millenial. How apropos. At ten years old I was shining shoes at the local barber shop for 10 cents a pop. I worked my way through HS, while playing ball and driving a school bus, worked on chicken farms and did contruction every summer. Worked my way through college, working making sub sandwiches in the afternoons and buffing floors at Alied Chemical at night. Then I went into the service, served my country for many years, always on Airborne status in combat arms ... raised my family, never took a handout, never asked for anything I didn't earn. Now, with my father having recently passed in his late 80s, one of the greatest, hardest working men to have ever walked the planet .... I'm taking care of my Mom, and my wife, and trying to stay alive long enough to see my grandkids all married. So you tell me, kindalazy, how I bled this country dry. While I'm waiting I'll tell you how your generation's voting preferences for socialists, communists and marxists, how your generation's proclivity to push transsexualism, academic liberalism at our lowest levels ... as well as your well known "kind of lazy" work ethic ... I'm telling you how your generation has done exponentially more harm to this country, and continue to do so, than any generation before you. |
