    Boomers were trained by rod and belt to respect their elders. They can’t help it.

      Well they did fight World War II, so there was that.

        Nope. The baby boom happened after they got back from WW2 and started fucking. That would be the so called “Greatest” Generation whom were all abusers and PTSD sufferers in some form, whether it’s from actual war or great depression survival. Stories I heard about them all they did was beat their kids and treat em like garbage. No wonder the boomers are insane.

          Yeah I’m aware of those facts.

          It’s just that people use the term baby boomers two ways, one as a general derogatory for anyone who’s old, and then another way as a specific age group during specific years.

          I was replying to the generic usage, not the literal.
