My head is going to explode!

Something I read online is putting my blood pressure thru the roof.

This idiot had the nerve to call the Baby Boomers the greatest generation.

He talked about how they were responsible for the revitalization of hobbies, eBay, and the American economy.

WTF is wrong with people??

The boomers are the first wave of the 'me first and the gimme-gimme' generation, a group that can also include today's youth in their late teens.

The baby boomers were the first generation to have everything handed to them on a silver platter and they pissed it all away.

They took their Depression-era parent's hard earned money when they were teens and demanded more.

They took their hardly-earned money from steel mill jobs and 'mid-level management' jobs and bought cocaine.

They sold junk bonds and time shares.

They ruined everything available for the next wave.

These are the people who walked out of high school into steel mills and manufacturing positions like Caterpillar, Zenith, and Motorola, and pissed it all away. They demanded more and more money each year for less and less work as laborers. Then they moved into management positions and bankrupted the companies with their excesses.

When the bottom fell out of the Post War economy in the late '70s-early '80s, they were already entrenched in the jobs they ruined, so they were safe while the rest of the country got 'outsourced'.

These jobs will disappear as these overpadded pariah dogs retire. Or else they already disappeared after these pigs used their 'golden parachutes'.

Now these idiots are using this ill-gotten wealth to ruin the rest of the country. They are buying up older affordable houses in decent communities and tearing them down, replacing them with mini-mansions. This forces us of lesser means to live on the fringes of the ghetto, because the remaining houses are driven up in price, due to greed.

The boomers are also ruining things like eBay. They take their fat wallets and have a fool's showdown with other yuppies over the most trivial of items that their parents bought for them as children. Once again, we are priced out of the running.

They are the first generation to NOT help out their children as well. Every parents dream up until these idiots became parents was to improve their kid's lives. These people are hell-bent on making their children become lower-class as they hoard their money and the money they inherited or stole from their parents after they shuffled them off to the nursing home.

Up until the 1970s and early '80s, there were three economic groups: the rich, the middle class, and the poor. Now as we enter the last of the first decade of the new millennium, we only see two groups: the needy and the greedy.

Best generation, indeed.
