Boomers are so hilarious

Not a blogger. A freelance columnist for the website you are on all day. A distinction that matters.

As a boomer I apologize for whatever I have done to spur the hatred you need to churn out. I just tried to work, Give a good life for my family and treat others with decency and respect.

I said there are plenty of nice and responsible boomers.
It’s as a cohort that they are problematic.

I’m amused and surprised so many think this is some new observation of MINE and not something that’s been reported on, books written about and movies made about for decades.

Such a hilariously stupid generation.

I’ve interacted with thousands of boomers for many decades. Hardly a small sample size.

You can think of me however you wish.

Just making observation based on 40-plus years of thousands of interactions with members of the most self-absorbed, selfish generation in American history.

Seems to me you paint with a pretty broad brush.

Grumpy old lady next to me at physician’s waiting room is talking back to the cable news show, saying she can’t wait for Trump to get in and “fire” Gavin Newsome for causing the California wildfires.

Such a hilariously stupid generation.

Nothing bores me more than braindeads complaining about boomers. Anyway, I would recommend the British sitcom, "Boomers", although anyone younger than 65 probably doesn't understand humor.

Yes, it’s a GENERALIZATION of an entire generation.

Like this was too:

1/3 of baby boomers grew up in poverty.

Roughly 30% got college educations.

I'd say baby boomers are a pretty hard working generation.

IDK, I respect my elders and teach my kids to do the same.

I don't think I have one bad thing to say about them as a whole.

And a good number of the 30% who went to college did so on the GI Bill because they were the last group to be drafted.
We are a hard working generation because our parents were and they expected the same of us.

You know, there are good folks and some not so great folks in every generation.

My kids weren’t latchkey kids but those who were were not shy about expecting two working or one single working parent to give them the best of everything. That takes money.

I may be old but I like cleavage.

 

[goldmom]

Meh, they always want to pull the ladder up after them once they’ve plowed through resources. I suspect I won’t be seeing my Social Security payments until well past 70.

Boomers also gave us mass divorce and latchkey kids - the “ME” generation that let us Gen Xers grow up feral.

LOL. Feral?

Baby Boomers still have more value to society than you’ll ever will.

People like you give us decent boomers a bad name.

 

[McLovin32]

One of the few things that never disappoints in life is a good ol thread dissin Boomers on HBOT. These threads ALWAYS deliver.

I personally have nothing against boomers but I don’t think you help the cause.

FWIW, no one is more hypocritical that you maga, nazi, scum bags, who love pedos, rapists, felons, and traitors. You will likely burn in hell, the sooner the better. F**king idiot.

This book was written by a comedian btw.

I wouldn't put too much stock into this one.

Boy….that Gibney feller seems to have all the answers….he’s gotta be a “Boomer”!

Makes less of a mess. I for one am sick of cleaning the toilet, so sit your ass down to pee or grab a sponge.

You seem to actually want to flaunt* your double digit IQ.








* Flaunt: to show or make obvious something you are proud of in order to get admiration

Stop the exaggeration.

Some of you people need to see a psychiatrist for your problems. I'm amused and NOT surprised that there are people wanting to blame others for their problems. What's the words to the song, "every generation, blames the one before".

OT: Now that I'm finally watching Vikings, your Avatar is messing with me. LOL

It’s a really good series.

And I’m actually Danish. My great grandfather emigrated from Denmark in 1914.

I’m blaming Boomers for societal problems.

Fortunately, I am doing well health wise, professionally, financially and physically right now.

Of course we all know that can change in an instant.

Pft I’m blaming the ones after me. Especially the lazy dumber than a box of rocks peeps joining the workforce within the last 5 years. They are worthless, going to cause more problems for me in the future compared to the problems the ones before me have caused.

Congratulations on triggering so many people. Wading through this thread has been fantastic entertainment. 😝

Well, time to wipe and flush. Later!

You’re not doing well in anything in life. You’re a worthless leech.

Respect your elders is one of the dumbest phrases out there. Respect goes both ways

 

[Hammerhead02]

being a hawkeye fan makes us this way

damn you Ferentz and McCaffery!!!

Don't get me started about Lisa Cellucci as well.

 

[MplsHawk]

Boomers invented rock and roll and mainstreamed smoking weed. I’ll give credit where it’s due.

Nah, that was more the Silent Generation, at least the inventing rock and roll. When smoking weed became mainstreamed is debatable, but that was probably the silent ones as well.

 

[artradley]

Born in ‘72

People in your age group had the highest voting margin for Trump. Just sayin’

 

[Hawksfinal4]

You forget that a lot of the people out there are somehow dumber than the people on this message board.

Tell me it isn’t so

Now wait, how old was she, the oldest boomers are only 79ish, I bet that loony tunes lady is at least 85

Those silent generation fellas don't get enough shit around here.

Back in 2019 I ****ed up my knee really bad and had to do a couple months of physical therapy. While I was sitting in the waiting room one morning they had ESPN on the TV and they were talking about college basketball. A boomer lady sitting there with her grand kid (I'm guessing), started complaining because the player (I can't remember who it was) had an African name. She started just spouting off about how it's bullshit that guys from foreign countries and taking basketball scholarships from Americans. And then even ventured into the NBA saying foreigners shouldn't be allowed to play in that either. I remember her also somehow coming to the conclusion that foreign professional athletes were also taking money that is meant for her.

It was quite a little rant. I remember my PT person came out and got me before she was done complaining.

Alas, there are a whole lot of young white people in this country that say the same stuff as if they are losing their spot on an NBA team, haha

I have heard this called "creeping conservatism" for about 50 years. A lot of old people want things back like they were when they were younger

I don't really worry about them, I just keep doing my job and let them complain and quiet quit. That way there's no competition for what I do.

Dumb f.ucking Tide Podders (millennials and Gen Z’ers) probably think Fonzie, Richie, Potsy and Ralph were young boomers.

I actually heard her tell nurse her birthday which was 1952.
