In reply to the discussion: It seems like there's a lot of dislike and contempt for "boomers" from "millennials" [View all]ohheckyeah
(9,314 posts)over the great things Boomers did. (By-the-way, how crude of you.) Maybe you could quit trying to blame everything in your life you don't like on everybody else.....a pastime a lot of 20/30 somethings enjoy regularly.
Did my generation screw up? Yeah, we're human and we were handed a shit sandwich to deal with in the form of VietNam and the shit economy that followed. I remember friends paying 23% interest on a friggin' car loan.
We certainly didn't destroy the country.single handed...previous and subsequent generations have their fair share of the blame, including your generation's apathy. I didn't have time to be apathetic during the college years because I didn't get to go to college, something true for many boomers. I went to work right out of high school.
So, go ahead and pat your apathetic self on the back for not claiming to have done anything great because that's probably at least truthful.
