I'm a boomer, the best thing is for my generation to die out. We are the most selfish and ignorant generation ever in modern times. And yet we had access to the most information! My kids don't like me to talk like this, my reply is always, "prove me wrong". (I'm referring to the mess we have caused the world, not necessarily the mankind helping accomplishments.)

Ah, well don’t be too rough on yourself. My parents are boomers, they are allright, I’m sure you are too.

I won’t say your generation didn’t make some mistakes politically. But in any group it is the kind and introspective that feel guilt about the group’s negative actions, while the selfish just go on happily being selfish. You don’t have to make up for the selfish folks who happen to have been born around the same time as you, but if you want to, live a long happy kind life.

Isn't what we're seeing with boomers just the natural progression? Heroes die before they become villains or whatever that saying is.

Millennials are already getting roasted for being kind of shitty, and they also wanted to change the world. That sort of thing?

(And yes leaving gen. X out was intentional - the ones that I know tend to complain about being a forgotten generation, so I thought it was funny)
