ParticipantSorry, but it doesn’t appear as though most boomers have vision that extends beyond the end of their noses. They don’t call us the “Me Generation” for nothing.

ParticipantConstruction said I was a Baby Boomer. Clearly I’m not, even according to you.
I was just agreeing with you and trying to help make your point; also letting you know your demographic in case you weren’t sure.

ParticipantCA– Oh, have no doubt, you are a douchebag (hey, you brought it up!). I’m a supposed gen-Xer and bear no such ill will toward boomers or any other broad age-based demographic. Losers have no age bracket. I don’t like whiners though and you certainly are that.
Sure, I’m not making specific points because I could praise or condemn anyone at any age bracket you’d like me to. So what? Waaaaaa.
Don’t wait for anybody to die and change things for yourself, because if you can’t do that, you certainly can’t help your peer group.

ParticipantPeople are born every day not in so many big 20 year chunks.I find all this Boomer,x,y&z stuff sort of funny. Using it to compartmentalize a society that is really in flux doesn’t seem to have much going for it beyond entertainment value. I would tend to think that someone who really wants to make a big stink out of it needs to grow up.That said Yours truly was born in 1962 and was in a perfect niche to avoid the failings of my glutinous predecessors and my younger slacker brothers.I take no personal credit, just happened to be born in 1962.

ParticipantConstruction,
What did the boomers do to you? Why do you have such a radical view of the world?
So what do you propose? Go out and kill all those over age of 45? Why don’t we start with your parents?(PS. FWIW,I’m of the Gen X age)

ParticipantI agree with “Construction At..” (What a weird name)
At home, to my wife, I am constantly complaining baby boomers getting all the hard assets and jacking up the asset price.
They bought their houses at cheaper prices and taking full advantage of the next generation. They consumed more than they actually produced.
Excuse me to say.. but once they passed on, it will ease our social security and health care burdens. It sounds mean, but that’s the brutal truth.

ParticipantIt’s ironic that many of the 1) businesses that you are employed by and/or provide your goods and services, 2) houses that you are coveting and 3) infrastructure that you enjoy (roads, bridges, parks) were actually built by the baby boomer’s that you are vilifying.
It’s as if you are saying “thanks for everything you did but if you’d just move along now that’d be great”.
