    I remind everyone to please be respectful while criticizing and don’t instigate violence towards others.

    As the child of a boomer I can confirm:

    respected the parents and got spanked

    Awful for the development of the children. Most boomer hated their parents.

    stood for the flag

    Brainwashed.

    Survived

    Barely, and gave their psychological problems to their children because they were too dumb to take care of it themselves. Nice life bro, I guess.

      Had to go to the ModLog to read. Congrats on being the first one there!

      As a child of boomers, I get and agree with the anger to a point. Remember, however, that their education was much inferior to that of today. Human knowledge & understanding has come a long way in the past century. That doesn’t make what they do okay, but it’s definitely something that needs to be allowed for when considering their “crimes.”

        Thank you! I take pride in being the first. I’ll forgive them for their ignorance it’s their lack of empathy and their deplorable actions I will hold them accountable for. I am also a child of boomers after the last election and I heard loud and clear their viewpoints, disowned them, told them to their face. They tried to call me to tell me my dad has a brain tumor and they wanted to see me and to come visit. I told them fuck off the world will be better without them and I mean it. If I was alive in Nazi Germany and my parents were Nazis it would be the same. I have health issues that I work hard to keep under control. My insurance has over tripled to almost $500 a month and now my meds are $1400 a month. We could have single payer healthcare. My wife worked for the homeless shelters in our area which lost their federal funding. Lost our house. Everything is just going to get worse from here. Food, more expensive, cars, more expensive, insurance, more expensive, housing, more expensive. We are in danger thanks to them. Went against everything they ever taught me in the end.

          I don’t wanna start a game of one-upmanship, so I’ll just say “same.” The only family I have left are my spouse and adult child.

    So is this boomer or gen x. Because neither of them respected their parents. Boomers were at least cool enough to burn their flags on their way to their free love compounds. Which is the shit millennials respect about our parents
