I have more issues with the post-boomers to be honest.

People like Grey Fox and the Quebec students ruin it for pretty much everybody else.  Because their concerns are so trivial and he's so willing to resort to violence and goonery over such irrelevant matters, they de-legitimize the entire struggle.  Even as things get worse, nobody wants their cause to be associated with a bunch of whiny, idiotic college students.
Written like a true Babyboomer.
Except I'm not.
Yet you've adopted every caractheristic of theirs.
Not at all.  Hating entitled students who feel like they're doing the world a favour by getting a degree in fine arts or philosophy is not exclusive to the baby boomers.

Yeah?  What did the post-boomers ever do to you, other than give up all hope for the future?

Hey, fuck you.
:lol:  You've just bitched about the boomers, read Brett Easton Ellis novels and all tried to become property developers.  Post-boomers caused so many more problems, what's worse they whine about it.  Endlessly.

I don't know why certain generations get called out.  I mean the 'Greatest Generation' was in charge for alot of bad ideas that have gotten tossed around.  It really was a team effort.  ONLY THE UNBORN ARE INNOCENT

Yeah.

I mean, there's definitely value at looking at the decisions and social organization of a particular time, and how that shaped events and policies afterwards.

But personalizing it like you see with the whole "people of [specific generation] are all like this and they ruined everything" is just dumb.

Most don't. But one has had a lock on power for decades as they are too big a voting bloc to counter.

Care to give us a few examples?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

They've both sold my generation and all generations after us into slavery, but in fairness the boomers started it and the post-boomers, made weak by the poor parenting they received, simply did their best to fit into the dystopia their predecessors made.

This is true.  But there's just been so many rants about the boomers that it's tiring.  And that in itself is an indictment of post-boomers :P

They deserve it, you know.  Boomers.  Waste of fucking space and air.*
