Gee..uh, thanks Baby Boomers...

[KurtNYC]

you stopped the Cold War ? You took away one of the best reasons for Millenials to live in the moment and "YOLO" just sounds like something to yell at a party. Did you ever think of that ?! Now YOLO just seems all care free and unserious. You killed off the nihilism and ennui that phrase used to have!

Advanced civil rights? Ended polio? Created the internet and cell phones? Fought for the environment? Got DDT banned. Got your asses kicked in Chicago and Kent State? Ended the war in Vietnam ? Helped to overturn Aparteid? Paid a shipload of taxes ? Now you legalize marijuana ? You fight and vote for marriage equality ?!



Seriously. Thanks Baby Boomers.

1. Yeah, Bunch Of Selfish Losers

Every single one of us.

[Skink]

2. Thanks for Reagan

[brush]

4. That was the repug half of the generation

Could we boomers say thank you to you for W?

[whathehell]

5. LOL, I'm afraid you can "thank" less of them, and more of some other groups..

This boomer wouldn't dream of voting for Reagan, and, being aged 30 in 1980

well remembers when Abbie Hoffman was called on his famous "Don't trust

anyone over 30" statement right before the '80 election -- His response?

"You can't trust anyone UNDER 30 now -- They're all for Reagan"!

So sorry, bro, but you're better off playing the blame game with either YOUNG

'boomers' who were college age at that time and NEVER experienced the anti-war

demonstrations or the Counter-Culture of the late 60's and early70's and/or their

parents, who largely comprised the "sandwich" generation -- too young to vote for FDR,

or remember much of the Great Depression and too Old to fit the Boomer demographic.

Neither me, anyone I knew or my WWII era parents voted for Reagan.

My father, in particular, despised him.

10. Well, You Got Me There

Except i didn't vote for him. More likely, people in the their late 40's to late 60's swung the vote. At least my hands are clean on that.

3. You're Welcome - Now Go Out And Spread The Word To Millenials To GOTV So They Can Continue.....

building on our accomplishments. We won't be able to do that if we have a Repub Senate and House. This is a real important election coming up that will effect the Millenial's and their offspring more than us Boomers. Let's give President Obama a platform for which he can make good on all his promises without continued obstruction.

6. I'm a cusp Boomer

Born in 1964. So many people try to tell me I'm a Gen Xer. I feel like a Boomer at heart. My sis was born in 48 and my brother in 56, so I was influenced by the hippie counter culture more than anything. Now I'm 50 and think of myself as an aging hippie. My heart is in Humboldt Co. but sadly I live in L.A. Co., lol!

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. It was our assess and feet in the street than made such a momentous change back then.

Now see if you can keep it.

[Paladin]

8. This Boomer isn't going to take the blame for all the world's ills. I know better. (nt)

[Iggo]

9. I did all that?

Dang!

I been busy!

[TBF]

11. Splitting generations is just the latest trick

by a gasping (and hopefully dying) repug party.

GOTV.
