    “Worst” is very subjective because every generation is always under the impression that the one before them is messed up and the one after them is also messed up. Always been that way.

    Fact of the matter is every generation has its share of **** ups and losers, every generation also has its share of awesome folks. And every generation has its share of folks who don’t fit into any particular category but they’re just there.

    The boomers also didn't perform human sacrifice. Yeah Boomers!

    Well of course it's subjective. I don't think there is any objective criteria for determining how each generation performs on a scale.

    What? They sacrifice their unborn on the altar of some sex god with alarming frequency. Something about some backwards cave-man belief that the fetus is a part of the mother's body.

    There is no such thing as transgenger people just confused children who have figured out one thing in this modern world white guys get screwed white girls less so. It is almost all the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence and progressives think people who don't make babies are a net plus in the age of climate change madness, so the newest freedom is the freedom to be as psychotic or neurotic or neurotic as you want to be. That is also why they prefer lesbians and homosexuals to normal people they don't generally propagate the species. The modern progressive movement has become little more than a collection of mad hatters, mad scientists and power hungry jack asses trying to set up their own thousand year reich. In the end the modern progressive left hurts no one and destroys everyone.

    Is that how come at the news stands none of the magazines could find a woman that was woman enough to be "Women of the Year", so they all put a man in a dress on the cover?

    My grandparents had a stroke when my dad dyed his hair and got his ears pierced. My parents had a stroke when my brother got a neck tattoo. They'll get over it. Kids grow up, move out, and eventually having to pay a light bill every month drains the fire and piss out of them. In the mean time, Junior wearing a dress to school and calling himself Candy isn't the worst act of rebellion he could be doing.

    I don't really care about junior too much, only that he doesn't make any decisions that affect the rest of us.

    LOL. I am well into 21st century.
    I was just pointing out your OP about adults are always right.
    By showing you where adults have not always been right.

    Was that not obvious?

    Boomers also invented the internet.
    And have been involved in the beginnings of AI.

    Again, the point is that it is adults who should be making the important decisions, not children. This should not be a difficult concept to grasp.

    OK you've really lost me as far as your point goes.

    Are you just listing inventions by the boomers?

    Point - boomers are not the worst generation.
    Given they never held slaves.
    Given they didn't hang people from trees, like their parents and grandparents did.
    They revolutionized technology with the internet.
    And AI will be just as revolutionary.

    So, I don't see how that equates to the worst generation in history.

    It is difficult to grasp.
    Because adults have not always made the best of decisions.

    I think we boomers messed it up. We gave this country Trump, MAGAs, Dixiecrats, making it easy for people to shoot each other, one of the most activist Supreme Courts in our history, ... We created a huge mess... Millennials did a slightly better job by giving us gay marriage, a bit more racial tolerance, a marginally sensible healthcare insurance system, an AGW scientific consensus .. but messed up other things. I have the highest hopes for the Parkland/Uvalde generation, when they come of age and start taking over.

    We did give the world some of the best music, though... And Farrah Fawcett. You're welcome!

    No, by making it clear that it was not a "just" war [whatever that might be].

    Of course, but you want the best qualified people to be making the decisions, right?

    Do you still have her poster up on your wall? :)

    And I would agree on the music front, as well.
