Yes, the world is a better place due to the Boomers and almost every generation before them and probably will improve (overall) with every generation after them. There are always advantages and disadvantages to technology. For example, it makes me sad to see groups of kids all sitting with each other staring into their phones. I think people socialize less in groups than they used to, and I think that is a shame.

Agreed, this is a pet peeve of mine and our family rule includes no phones at the dinner table, especially when we are out spending money on an expensive meal.

I might agree with you in general you seem inclined to throw out the baby boomer with the bathwater. ( Ok – I just thought of that but I like it. ) [/quote]
Hey I’m not throwing out all boomers…especially my parents. I created this topic because I saw an article about boomers, and because I noticed in previous posts there were many negative opinions about millennials (esp. from BG). I also wanted to see where each generation stood on debatable topics – especially with the upcoming elections and with our existing boomer candidates.
[quote=njtosd] you seem a little ingenuous. Your opinions about scaredy make me think that you don’t question your own prejudices – he is probably the most even handed and witty person on this board.[/quote]
That may be the case because I’m trying to spur dialogue. Regarding scaredy, his proof regarding Millennials and our belief in “gender fluidity” seemed lacking and I called him out on it. I don’t mind debating, but am very fact oriented and a poll is only as good as its source…just ask Trump. Regarding his belief that we should get taxed $10K on what we do to our own bodies doesn’t seem very even handed to me.
