The problem the Boomers faced was they were taught the Nazis lost WW2, instead of the truth (they took over the IC and MiC). Thus, they lived their lives in ignorance as the problem metastasized.

Expand Actually I think the Viet Nam war was ended because of the draft. All those "Baby Boomers" protesting to end the draft had a big stake in it. If it didn't hurry up and end, when they ran out of college money, they'd be drafted and sent over. I think that was the motivating factor primarily. 1

I am a hardass on my kids, and it is paying off. Expand Me too. My kids all were spanked from time to time. All were involved in tough competitive and in some cases risky competitive activities for years (the kind very few parents would allow) and all worked for $ at a young age outside of the house. All did their own school work with not much help from Mom and Dad and we didn't give them money very often for things they wanted once they got into their teens. They paid from their own pocket. And yes it has paid off. However, we are surrounded in our community with families that operate very differently. Edited March 26, 2018 by keepthefaith

There's also — like the thread title — the generational tendency to assume the kids are morons. Baby Boomers should have been more demanding for a responsible government. They should have been more financially responsible. They should have insisted that the inherited prosperity continue to be used for social programs that provided long-term benefits, like those in the New Deal, instead of focusing vainly on "getting theirs." Baby Boomers easily could have avoided being suckered into voting in a movie star president & a reality star president. They didn't. They are a generation who will be defined by laziness & passing the buck. Expand I was with you through the responsible government part.

Expand No I said I agreed with you on the responsible government comment, although you and I probably don't define that the same. Social services since the new deal have risen steadily since. Just look at state and federal spending for since that time. It's consumed a greater portion of the economy over the years.

Paulus Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Funny how serious people take this shitpost. This is the generation of kids who are pushing and bullying others so much so, via social media and mass ostraciztion, that mass shootings are becoming kewl. Then they are now trying to disarm their victims and the rest of America. If anything, parents are becoming the kittens.
