Nothing of any real worth has been produced by those born post 1970. Sure there is Google and Facebook, but they pale in comparison to the achievements of generations past.

Exactly. Gen X is the US last hope.

The baby boomers have screwed this country up for the most part. But then again you can say those who were around in 1913 really did considering the parasite that has been feeding on this country since then is our private banking cartel.

Nice statement. Remember when you're old they'll likely be the ones determining your care in a nursing home.

One could also argue that the generation from 1950-1970 is the one that has slowly sucked the life out of this country over the past 2-3 decades. Remember "let he who is sinless cast the first stone"

I suppose we would not be the worst generation had a certain generation BEFORE US not screwed it all up.

Look at the ones who raised us and then talk.

I dunno, but it seems like the kids born in the late 80's and early 90's are the most spoiled and entitled I have ever met in my life.

An awful lot of generalizations here...
Ignoring the baby-boomers who fought and raised cain and stood up for what was right and true and decent, who fought against everything that happened to this country, who created and invented and often were incarcerated for demanding their and others' Constitutional rights -

is just as wrong as ignoring the kids who were born in the 70s and 80s who worked and are still working hard to get what they wanted, who are responsible individuals who accept nothing and take nothing from others.

Generalizations and stereotypes are the last refuge of the impotent.

No, anyone born between the years 1960 to 2011 are the ones that are destroying this country.
