"Worst" Generation in American History

[phxspurfan]

I got inspired to post this after watching some political TV last night (about the primaries) and doing some research on the below outlined generations. Considering the current state of the USA, what do you think caused the problems? Is it a generational issue? Is there a "worst" generation? Why?

[Leetonidas]

Say what you want about the laziness of today's generations but this was all instigated by those boomer gots

[cantthinkofanything]

I'll probably vote for the California blacks.

[DMX7]

Baby Boomers - and it isn't even close.

[Leetonidas]

I gotta say this new generation of teens ing fails though, this is real I you not

[Stringer_Bell]

For sure, the next generation is going to destroy the world (they lack quality morning cartoons, quality music, and quality films - the creativity and sense of meaning won't be there when it's their turn to find solutions to )...but for now the baby boomers made is just enough of a cluster to be considered the worst so far.

Generation Y is just a bunch of whiners, who haven't a clue what it is to be an American.

It is because of the politicians catering to them that we are in this sinking America we have today.

Exactly. Generation Y has the same exact opportunities, economy, and privileges as the baby boomers. Why can't they all just get jobs and raise middle class families?

Of course. The government has just helped Generation Y too much, taking resources away from the baby boomers who are the real ones suffering.

They do have Phineas and Ferb tho, that show is awesome. Maybe there is hope. At least they didn't have My Two Dads.

Generation D: 1840-1860, what a pack of heads.

lol @ silent generation.

[jeebus]

According to that wiki article, generation Y are 80s babies and generation Z are 90s on. That sounds better cuz I have no intention of being clustered in with the current heads born in the 90s.

In America,

It's baby boomers. They were born in Post WW2 America....a mirage. Not realizing the quality of life in America was nothing more than a by product of Europe/Asian being in PostWar shambles & educated/morally rich Europeans/Asians immigrated to America to work for cheap

Instead of fixing the issues that President Carter warned.....America elected the lifelong salesman Ronald Reagan. He sold Americas future for his own short term glory & become known as the Teflon President

America hasn't recovered from Reagan

My favorite CC post was when he sympathized with a cop pepper-spraying teenage girls for no reason. Really, you must be a classy human being.

Find it, you whiney little or it didn't happen. Much like all the other you spew.

baby boomers raised the pussies who've, in turn, raised even bigger pussies. Then ed about how everyone's a pussy.

You say baby boomers but voted Gen X? I'm confused.



Anyway my take is baby boomers have been the most destructive. They have lived up to the label "generation me." But the younger generations haven't had as much time in the world to make the same mistakes, so we shall see if we are just as bad or worse. And Gen X is getting a lot of respect. I guess everybody loves Dana Carvey and wants to go back to the swingin 80s/ early 90s (beside Reagan).

Man, those were the days....

The younger generation's laziness and sense of en lement isn't compared to the Baby Boomers. They wrote the book on laziness and en lement.
