They are supremely confident that they are right about everything. When a concept is proven conclusively wrong, the person who conducted the study is obviously biased--or it just needs more time and more money to work right.
They are not responsible for anything. It was a violent videogame/movie, a bad upbringing, not enough money, or too much money that caused whatever bad situation they are in. They shouldn't be expected to pay for college, for their kid's food, for their own healthcare, for their housing, for their credit card debt. It wasn't their fault!

That's some of the most stupid generalizations I've ever seen on this BBS, Chris. Perhaps you're talking from your own experience, I cannot comment on that. My experience and my friends' experiences are quite different. We worked our asses off and spent more time with our kids than our parents did, in spite of both parents working due to the decline in the standard of living one could realize with a single income. Our kids are all very successful. We are all very proud of them. We also helped (or continue to) support our elderly parents. It's not easy but you do these things for family.
Most of us have evolved into political moderates or conservatives. Many of us can see things from more points of view than what some of the younger posters here seem to be able to grasp. The amount of social entitlements have diminished during our lifetimes. I know very few people who are in debt, though I wouldn't be surprised if nationwide, there is a wide range of financial conditions for boomers, just any other generation before (probably after) them.
You sound like a bitter person, Chris. You also sound immature. Please redirect your hate towards something more positive. Please grow up.
