Why all the hate on "babyboomers"?

BOOMERS ARE TOTAL HYPOCRITES.

they all claim they worked so hard.

they typically could pay their way through college waiting tables(those jobs arent even AVAILABLE FOR AMERICANS ANYMORE not to mention tuition is sky high). IF they didn't go to college, they could afford a house, two cars, medical and pension ON ONE SALARY. THESE PEOPLE ARE LAZY AND SELF CENTERED. TIME FOR A CORRECTION.

I am just as upset as you about our government moving jobs over seas, I sure the hell didnt have any say it, dont you understand that? its the rich that run the country that did, I am scrapping by like you are, so dont say I did it

All generations bring good & bad to our society...

Silent Generation=tough economic times

Baby Boomers=work ethic

Gen X=great care givers to their children

Gen Y=able to absorb new technology

Gen YI=instant gratification

History teaches us that every 5 generations resets itself...Our next generation will not "shell-shock" and restore the "good"...praying that it is true

I am hoping that they will stop the madness of todays society...porn, fraud, instant gratification, think long term thinking & make it through tough economic times.

No one actually hates baby boomer op

Ir's not Generation X saying these things to you.
Why would we say these things to our own parents?

the manipulation started a very long time ago. there have been many many wars on this planet to prove it... don't blame normal people see who the crooks really are and go get them and make them lick your boots

Where do you get your information? I have waited on tables most of my life, never went to college, own a junker, rent an apt. and have no savings or pension. And you want me to die so you can have my life? sure wont be long till you have a life just like me.

lol... someone is finding out more info about just how many baby boomers, how many gen x-ers, etc and what their emotional-response maturity levels are here at GLP... stirring the pot to get results.. mmmhmmm.... hahaha

There should be a group between the boomers and gen-xer's. I have nothing in common with either one. Call the new group the boxers.

I think you need to look at the natural progression of government if you want to blame something. The natural progression is for government to accumulate more and more power. More and more control over the lives of the people. Less and less freedom. Less and less avenues for success.

This can't be stopped by normal means, i.e. voting. People like you want to blame someone, anyone. Anyone or anything except what is really responsible.

I understand. It's a human attribute to look for and assign blame. You have settled on a single generation, who are no more to blame than a rabbit is to blame.


I suggest that the baby boomers are no more to blame than the every other generation that preceeded them. And every future generation. You will find that out when you are the age of the people you hate so much right now.

It is all an accident of birth, nothing more. If you are bitter and angry, fine, but it will do you no good.

happy with the way this thread is going yet, OP? It looks pretty nasty to me.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

thats exactly what the 'status quo' said to all you awesome hippy revolutionaries in the 60s. It's gonna come back to bite you fools in the ass.

There isn't a problem with baby boomers. Per say. It's just after the wars so many people we're born at one time or a given amount of time that put a strain on gov. services.

I neither support the "status quo" nor was I ever a "hippy revolutionary". I suggest that your mouth will come back to bite you in the ass, fool. Obviously you are unable to think beyond a primitive level.

This is perhaps off topic a little but it may shed some light on things.

If you look at the history of culture, philosophy, and art every 50-100 years the culture would completely reverse itself based on intellectual challenges and movements. For instance you had the Enlightenment, based in scientific thought and reason, then it was completely countered by Romanticism and views of inspiration and artistic thought, then Romanticism was replaced by classicism, scientific thought that sought to determine and classify everything insofar as it was possible. The same ebb and flow working its way out through history great minds and movements challenging the contemporary culture, the effects of the changes at the intellectual level would trickle down into immediate culture and daily life and the western world would progress through ebb and flow. Culture, science, art, education was always moving man to challenge what was going on. In the late 19th century modernism emerged and, never being countered, flowed into post-modernism whenever it did, there wasn't any real change or challenge of modernism.
In the 1960's we were historically well overdue for a cultural ebb to counter the flow and the 60's in America showed all the marks of doing it and very well many things were achieved. It was natural time for change and challenge and our culture desperately needed it and some stuff was achieved but all the intellectual leadership of whatever counter history was going to muster was killed off, MLK Jr., JFK, Bobby Kennedy, Pope John Paul I (he wanted to give the Vatican's money to the poor) and no one else dared to stand up, the philosophical heart of what was happening was destroyed and as the seventies rolled on everything about the sixties was commercialized, we kept the drugs and said good bye to the intellectual leaders and that is all we've had since, it is 2012 and people are saying we've gone into post-post-modernism. Had MLK jr., JFK, Bobby Kennedy, JPI, been allowed to live and speak and educate freely who knows where their actions would have led, even with their time being cut short they achieved a lot. But no one has dared to stand up after this and we have continued down a burn out stretch.

People are able to stand up now and the internet has helped, but I doubt the Illuminati/Freemasonic/Zionist/Frenchcanadian/Visa/MacDonald'​s cabal even cares they're probably quite far along on their plans and anytime anyone does stand up they aren't really able to counter the burnt out culture we live in. Look at christians always saying, rapture, rapture, vision, vision, vision, rapture, rapture, REVELATION, PROPHECY. It is virtually the same with new agers, nobody, tao de chin, mystical, mystical, divine feminine, christ consciousness, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING NEW. TZMers, RBE, RBE, RBE, mass automation, mass automation, SUPERCOMPUTER CONTROL, SUPER COMPUTER CONTROL. Conspiracy theorists, cabal, cabal, Illuminati, Masonry, 9/11, 9/11, FEMA FEMA FEMA. Virtually everyone has been sucked into a cult of his/her own liking, not applying the faculties of the human mind, but wasted on a specific way of thinking like its a drug, tunnel visioned to doom. Of these groups we can hardly blame the conspiracy theorist though but some take it to a level wherein we never made it to the moon but have a battlestation on mars. We are lost people, try telling a new ager all their correlations and beliefs in the truth that there is no truth is contradictory, try telling a christian the rapture is not a biblically sound concept, try telling a zeitgeister that a centrally controlled world could be a dangerous idea, nothing challenged culture and caused men to think at a deep and fundamental level and we've turned into a culture of cults.

Boomers killed earth

^^^THIS^^^, OP, is why most people hate the babyboomers!!! Do you need more proof?

I'm fine surviving the way I am but I know a lot of people are fucked with useless skills that can barely get them by. A lot of people even with degrees have very few useful skills that can make them money in the really world. Degrees are meant for people who want to spend their life being a slave to the corporate system. Who wants to work minimum wage for their whole life in a "well developed" country like America? I ain't gonna lie that there are a lot of lazy fucks out there. That is true, but why are there so many lazy fucks with useless skills in the portfolio? Why? I'll tell you why. America's education system is SHIT!!! They teach you bullshit skills that are of no real use in the real world. All of the skills I have that I know can make me money I learned outside of the classroom. I learned them OTJ or on my own or on the streets. I could find a new way to make money each and everyday in an entrepreneur like fashion because of how I currently think. I didn't have those skills or mindset when I finished high school or got out of the military. I got that mindset after having a couple of successful businesses.

That is so true. We live in a world of lies and so much information due to the internet. Everything is such a jumbled mess.

Yes that is a big part of it, we have such an information overload it is hard to handle, it seems like everyone takes some tangent by accepting a few of the lies and burrows deeper into his/her delusion. Feeding that delusion is man's own ego, look at the new agers watching a David Wilcock lecture, they are there because the want defy the past and think of themselves as new free thinkers, all them will agree to some extent but afterwards will say, "I like most of what he said, but..." and then they fornicate in something else they found from some other newager or whatever, everyone wants to think they have the truth that no one else does and there is absolutely tons of info out there for them to play with. It is the exact same with most rapture/zionist believing christians and their views on eschatology. Every man is lost in the hell of his own making. The jumbled mess translates its way into the very minds of men

Why would we blame the whiny bitches who fucked up the country? All you fucktards care about is yourselves and you've dumped the financial responsibility on all of us.

The Federal Reserve Banking system went into effect in 1913, long before the Boomers were ever born. Social Security was under FDR also pre-Boomer.

We were born into a system stacked against us and did the best we could.

Now who elected Obama? It sure as shit wasn't the Boomers! That is the current generations great contribution to society?

So you see it isn't the players, it's the game. Boomers greatest fault was to raise a generation of totally spoiled and self-absorbed kids who are now having a problem dealing with the real world.

Things are tough all over. Deal with it.

The country has been fucked up since the Federal Reserve Banking was put into effect.

Long before Boomers.

But don't blame the Boomers if your generation can't compete on a global scale. Half of you can't even make change or use a ruler! And yeah, those are things Boomers taught themselves with the two jobs they worked to pay their way through college. We did strange things like read actual books and try to improve our minds. Try it sometime instead of just whining.

I guess it's a terrible shock to find out you can't make a living playing video games.

Yeah, but ain't it lovely? J/K.

I will never understand the human race, and why it is so obsessed with this shit. It makes no sense. I just want to be at peace, but I can't find peace so I go about in a never-ending circle in search of it. I'm getting tired of searching because it feels like I have the answer but no one wants to listen. Everybody thinks I'm full of shit or like you said...they have their "own" better twist to my answer. Really?!?! Who cares?

Humans innate desire for control is the biggest problem of the human race. Control, selfishness, and power are big problems for the human race because we always feel like we need more of these traits and they always have to be at our side. I'm not going to lie that these traits do come in handy especially when dealing with, gratification, life in general, and mother nature; but, why exactly do we fixate on them so much?

The federal reserve problem was remediable ever see money printed under JFK? There is a big difference, the dollar you have now says, "This money is legal tender for all debts public and private" Money minted under JFK says, "This money is legal tender for all debts public and private." Note the period, in business law terms a writing without a period expresses a thought, a writing with a period is a statement, and as a full legal statement and sentence it is binding, hence JFK's money was backed by gold. He minted legal constitutional money without revoking the charter.

Human's have reason (mental faculties, understanding, intellect, imagination, intuition), Spirit (will self control) and desires (sex, amusement, alchohol, food, etc.) On top of this, we are somewhat incomplete in and of ourselves, we are always going outside of ourselves, no one is content being completely idle, some write books, some read philosophy, some pursue the things of the spirit -war games, athletics, victory, some pursue desires, sex, drugs, rock and roll... our modern mantra. The controlers seek to secure the fact that they will always be able to engage in whatever activity they wish- these are mostly the sick people mad for their desires, they exercise reason and spirit insofar as it secures their participation in desires... sometimes along the way they might just happen to find power itself gratifying... then we have real sickos... When one can't control one's own desires one has to control the world so one can have whatever one wants...

Those are just my thoughts on your question. If you want to understand man I would suggest going to Plato's Republic or Aristotle's Noccomachean Ethics, or Ethics. You can get their stuff online for free at gutenberg... We can't perfectly define man or men's motives, or ethics or beauty, or truth, or justice, but we can have pretty good ideas and we can rationally delve into beautiful discussions and arguments and find that there's pleasure in thinking... some see this a pitfall of creation.. some think this is the beauty we were made to participate in.

divide & conquer

- you have no idea what you are saying. No idea.

One, no matters which category you want to pigeon-hole yourself into (or let others do for you), has to make use of the possibilities at that moment.

So there are no waiters jobs for students? Then park cars. Work at McDonalds or the local grocery store. They always hire.

An means to an end. Use what is before you. But whatever we do, do not make too many excuses. Yes, these are hard times. But to be a student now is the best position to be in really.

sorry, just an old timer trying to get my head around your new fangled technology, failing at embedding Youtube
