...and if it came off that way, I apologize, but you have to admit this entire thread is "a general statement against" Boomers.
I refuse to characterize an entire generation with generalities such as the one contained in the meme....
I could say that that meme is exactly what older people expect from the younger generation ....a bunch of lies and exaggerations and blaming someone else for their rather than actually doing something about it. I could say that, but it would be unfair to characterize an entire generation. Not that that's going to stop you.
...said in response to ihslep's
[That's the type of logic the younger generations have come to expect from the baby boomers--great leaps from point A to point B and plenty of logical fallacies
One more thing about ihslep's comments....He seems to think that this meme is a "general statement about baby boomers in meme form", when it is actually an acnecdotal experience of a kid with dumb fu** asshole parents of which, no generation has a monopoly on. Then he goes on to claim that because I used my own experience as an example ( which he labelled a "
sole personal experience" and an anecdote), it was a logical fallacy????...when it was in fact it was representative of what EVERYBODY getting out of college in the late 70's /early 80's went thru....Double digit interest rates, unemployment, runaway inflation.
I'm not going to be so bold as to say we had it tougher, because I personally don't know what you are going thru. But I will say that none of this is new....right down to the younger generation squawking about their parents. At some point, we grow up and shoulder the burdens and responsibilities that have been thrust on us.
