    You couldn't be further from the truth.

    Its the millennials the boomers have all left in a generation of poo so deep, the world isn't even sure we will dig our way out of it. The boomer generation has made them suffer for decades and now its pay back time.

    I'm commenting on a few words by the previous poster. I'm only commenting on the 'lingo'. I don't frequent the forums but my mates are texting me all day about it I just don't give a shit right now I've been stuck overseas alone for 10 months and I'm trying to get back to Aus next week. I'm completely fked myself.. And angry at the world for a lot of other reasons.. Don't mind me.

    You think millennials have inherited a mess? Do they resent the Boomers because "I can't afford to buy a house at age 22 in inner city Sydney"? OK, I will make a couple of points in defence of that generation. A history lesson.

    The Boomers inherited a world shattered by a world war, a ruined Europe, cities flattened by conventional and atomic bombs, millions dead, food rationing, energy and fuel rationing, dead and mutilated brothers and sisters and parents....
    That's how Boomers lived their childhoods. With poverty and horror and dead fathers whos bodies didn't even come home. When Boomers were in their teens and 20's they were in privation and many were in poverty.

    The Boomers and their surviving parents then went on and built and re-built everything after the war. They built the dams, the energy infrastructure, the highway and rail systems, the houses and industrial buildings, the homes that their children and grand children grew up in. Millennials had nothing like that to face.

    The Millennials are burying themselves. They are walking into a trap built by their own generation based on devices and socialist utopian fantasies. And they are being told to blame anyone but themselves. They have been led to resent and blame anything but themselves when in reality it is their turn to step up and save themselves. From themselves.

    Boomers did allot but millennials are a product of boomers shit parenting lol, we cant pretend that isnt the case. Kids not happy? heres a pill. Kids bored? heres a tv and some video games.
    Boomer generation did allot but are no doubt a generation who were lazy parents in most cases. there is a reason Millennials are so messed up and useless, Its not from the things they complain about Eg boomer greed and so on, But everything todo with crap parenting, took the easy option of throwing everything their kids wanted at them and when the kids were bored and depressed they gave them chemicals and anti depressants and fucked their heads up.
    the Millennial generation is retarded because they have been chemically lobotomized by their parents, because for many Boomer parents it was easier than being a good parent. not only that they are fucken useless at relationships, fucked their kids up hard with their outrageous divorce rates.
    but they did work hard there is no doubting that, but probably ads to their perception of only caring about money, would be my guess.
    PS this is a broad thing, plenty of good boomer parents obviously but we all know a few parents who sat their kid in front of a tv with video games and filled the kids with meds because the kid was unhappy while their marriage falling apart and their kramer vs Kramer custody battle was going on.
    the 80's and 90's was a shocker for that sort of shit and they wonder why Millennials are so fucked in the head.
    Boomers did have the bonus in many cases to have had good parents who showed them how to navigate life.

    But again Boomers are less lazy work wise than Millennials, they did build many things.
    And there is no doubt that Millennials are a generation of stupefied, crybabies who cant tolerate life.

    Im pretty happy Im a late Genxer lol, I had an old school child hood and parents were too broke to give me shit like video games and pump us full of meds. after all I spent my childhood in a recession period.

    I agree with the poor parenting aspect. However as someone who was born at the end of the Boomer generation and the beginning of Generation X I lived my formative life as a child of Generation X. I agree with you that Boomers were not the greatest parents but I think that Generation X were the ones that were the really poor parents that did leave the Millennials rudderless.

    Millennials don't have it all that hard yet. But they are going to live through the next war and social collapse and I feel for them. No-one is blameless here, none of us of whatever generation had an instruction manual and civilisations have cycles unfortunately. Boomers don't want to see their children and grandchildren suffer, we all need to work together and we really need to stop listening to these Marxist pricks that have taken over the media and the educational institutions that are trying to make everyone turn against each other.

    Agreed and I put it down to education levels and generational wealth transfer that kicked off with the Boomers (and end of pre Boomers gen), as that was the first real urban generation to see some wider level of tangible inheritance from their parents who were able to buy / build a house for themselves post WW2 and leave something for their kids (Gen X) apart from a fob watch and some unpaid bills...fast forward and many more Gen X's benefited / are benefiting from the same wealth transfer (2nd gen) but as busy professionals, many took / take the easy route and threw money / trinkets / IT at their children to solve a problem rather than have the conversations (or just spend time with them) that instilled some values and need for hard work, moderation of needs & wants plus self reliance (which my pre WW2 parents instilled in me both verbally and in practice) rather than expecting it to be handed to them on a silver plate.

    you gotta remember when Millennials were kids they werent called Millennials they had the nicknamed the Prozac Generation.
    Products of high divorce and over medication and we calling Xers bad parents?, Millennials in most part are children of boomers and lesser extent very early on Xers. Mid to late Xrers often had early boomer parents also, So dealt with the same dysfunction as Millennials, minus the meds.
    you cant be a generation that shoves pills down kids throats because they are depressed and think boomers were a responsible generation.
    they couldn't even keep their own houses in order. The reason there is a huge amount of resentment for boomers is because of how poor they were as parents, they created these millennial monsters with lazy parenting, dysfunctional relationships and medicating them as a cure and expecting them to grow up normal lol and wondering why their kids dont worship them.
    I dont subscribe the hate of boomers by millennials as far as the whole money greed thing, But I think its a much more personal deep seeded anger they have towards boomers and its much easier to go for the throat on Greed than it is to address their real issues they had which is childhood issues as being the reason they hate the boomer Gen,IMO
    Like I said there was plenty of good boomer parents, but the stats arent good on things like Medicating children, Divorce rates, alcoholism and so on. that sort of thing plays a big part, so boomers cant create a monster and then complain that the monster wants to destroy you.
    and again, Boomers worked hard built many things, and did good in many other areas, their generation is not with out achievement. But man over all they were shit parents.
    which in the grand scheme of things, being a good parent and family man or woman is the biggest achievement in life.
    the generation before boomers, they were the ultimate. those guys were the greats, and at least I had grandparents of that generation to look upto. they had real achievements, good family values, built things, worked hard and the list goes on and on with that generation.

    I completely agree Oddjob. And to balance things out I will say some positive things about the Millennial generation.

    The thing that stands out for me about millennials, particularly as someone who has employed them is that I think that they are nicer people than we were at the same age. Millennials in their 20s were kinder, more polite and worked better in groups than those of us from the previous generations before them. We were rougher and more punk and ruder in general I think, harder on each other and we took a lot of risks.

    And certainly as an employer when we got a good millennial it was like hitting the jackpot - A well sorted and put together millennial employee is one of the best things that a business can have hands down. If I had to generalise I would say that the millennials are a brilliant generation that were betrayed by their educational institutions and then they also found themselves having to contend with devices, predatory AI algorithms that do not have their interests at heart and social media which are things that no previous generation ever had to contend with. The millennials had to figure out how to deal with the little Satan from Apple and Google in their pockets and it hasn’t been easy.

    What a mess. It’s a wonder that humanity keeps going at all, and no wonder that Western civilisation is collapsing. The simple family life, community life, coming of age rituals and the things that tied us together were all shattered by mid 20th century technologies and, as you say, once we started depending on medications and started drugging children into conformity the end was in sight. Our education systems were dumbed down and subverted by Marxist activists and we were lost.

    And now we have a real problem and this one definitely came from parents - the modern fetishising of comfort seeking and hyper convenience. We have reached a point now where it I is considered cool and desirable to sit on a sofa and to control our media, room lighting and every thing else with our smart phones, to have food carried from a restaurant that is 400m away by a person on a bike and to not even bother to learn how to operate a motor vehicle. We are becoming lazy and device addicted comfort seekers and it will not end well.
