Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire "Boomers"?

And who are the parents of those generations who taught them how to react, behave, think and feel?
Or do they spontaneously raise themselves?

No doubt your flawed rationale let's you sleep at night but it doesn't change what the reality is.

Rationale? those are the numbers they don't lie.

Best you can say parenting is GenX came from us and they are as benign as white toast, my daughter say's that about her own generation, "we haven't done anything, good or bad"

GenY is on GenX.

How many hippies do you think there were? I mean there were some on Laugh'in and a few in school.

I suppose some of us country boys should have banged some of those hippie girls to influence them correctly... but they stank.

The very first thing the first two people in the world did after they made a bad decision was to blame somebody else.

When you’re a grown man, your decisions are yours. Own em’.

Most of us boomers had lots of fun - - - or so I'm told. Now if I could only remember it.

An interesting thing about generations is how they become segmented.

Meaning, guys on the front end of Gen X will have specific tastes and disdain for certain things that guys on the ass end of Gen X will love and revere.

Hookers and blow can completely destroy this theory.

But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

God saw you coming Travis.

The most ridiculous aspect of all this is seeing men in their late 50s berating the boomer generation,...trying to sound like millennials.

The generational divisions are arbitrary. They tell us that those born between 46 and 62 are Boomers and they all share a way of looking at the world.

But why couldn't it be that those born between 53 and 78 share a common outlook on the world?,....or 1960 and 1985?

The way that birth years are assigned to generations is totally random.

I mean...

Correct.

And you're still a lazy f a g g o t.

LOL

25 years is considered a generation, but 25 years is much too long to attach a common way of thinking to a group of people. I think 6 or 7 years is about as long a period of time that can be assigned to a common life experience for a group of people. The world moves too fast these days to say that everyone born in a 25 year period get exposed to the same world and develop a common mindset based on that time period.

My wife is was born in 62,...last year of the Boomers. She was a small child when all of the Vietnam war, Woodstock, summer of love, business was going on. Her life's experience is totally different from those born in 1946,...or even 1954.

Exactly my point. Boomers want to blame the generation they raised. How does that make a shred of sense? It doesn't, in no way shape or form.

I agree with your assessment, yet here we are.

That's it, but what happened was after WWII people starting having lots of babies, so they were called boomers and that started the Gen wars. I don't care what someone's age is, if we have similarities we get along... if someone wants to talk 'Boomers', then let's look at the numbers.

More than anything, after 1980 and the advent of cable TV and Big media, that influenced the next generations more than parenting. Add PC computers in the 90s, social media... a parent has no chance against free porn...

The genuine "Boomer generation", that most people think of when someone names them went on for about 6 years,....JFK assassination to Charles Manson. Those who came of age in the mid 70's had a very different life's experience than those who came of age in the mid 60s.

Boomers embraced materialism full on...... like no generation before.... and downward society spiraled

You can deride "Boomers" all you want, but the fact is that few if any of us voted this Commie cabal into office. You Karens did.

HypoKaren was on its fourth post when it entered this thread. A clear and obvious provocateur (It would probably have to look that word up.) Henceforth, it will not be seen by me.

Blaming Boomers has become a part time hobby of mine, since they have been blaming "Millennials" for nearly two decades, for all the troubles the US has come to see.... like it all started when Millennials started voting....

At the same time, just ignoring it was under THEIR watch, most of US production was outsourced, healthcare and medicine costs skyrocket, public education and college costs explode because of defunding and wages has been stagnant....


Boomers grew up in the best time in the US ever... paid for by TAXES. Only to privatize it all when they grew up, because they didn't want to pay no damn taxes for it. Their parents paid taxes for it, and made sure they grew up in the BEST EVER economical period that any country has ever seen.

Boomers wanted low taxes instead, voting for Politicians who made it possible to outsource with impunity.. just as long as they gave them a tiny tax break as well. Boomers wanted low taxes and privatization. And they got it...

Results... outsourced production sector, low wages, no immigration laws from EITHER party, because privatization trumped everything... and both of them keeps wages down.


Education Boomers could pay of with a summer job back in the day, now costs hundreds of thousands of dollars because of defunding.... but its Millennials fault.
Healthcare that should cost HALF of what it does today, if the US just did as every other 1st world country... but its Millennials fault.
2008, which nearly broke the back of the Millennials in their start up years... caused by negligence and dont give [bleep] attitude from the Boomer generation... but its the Millennials fault.
20 God Damn years of war, that the Millennials have had to fight in....


And all the while, Boomers have secured themselves in their "golden years"... while their Children, the Millennials have inherited a massive beast of underfunded liabilities, because Boomers didn't give a [bleep] about paying taxes. They are just sucking the teat dry of the last thing the Greatest Generation left them... a nearly functioning welfare state.


But... its all Millennials fault.

Regardless of how I was taught to react, behave, think and feel, and regardless of how I was raised...once I became a grown man, my decisions were mine. I own em’. And blaming my decisions on anyone else is irresponsible.

Millenials are worse than boomers....
