    There is; they are called laws and regulations. A better question is how do you think you can make criminals obey the laws?

    Default 27 amazing things baby boomers have done for humanity

    For far too long, people have been dissing the children of the "greatest generation". We need to hear more about their achievements.

    Was there ever a generation more filled with self-doubt, even self-loathing, than the baby-boomers? If you were born between 1945 and 1965, you are supposed to feel guilty for trashing the economy, for the demise of the family, for endemic cynicism and selfishness, for an addiction to government handouts and for flared trousers. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, a baby-boomer, confessed to a graduating class recently that his had been "the grasshopper generation, eating through just about everything like hungry locusts."

    Look, everybody makes mistakes. A bit of greed here and there shouldn’t obliterate all the good that baby-boomers have done for Gen X, Gen Y and whoever else happens to come along. It’s about time for some Boomer Pride. Here are 27 (there are lots more) ways that we (yes, I’m one of them) have improved the universe.

    No, which is why we shouldn't have any laws.

    It's obvious you are ignorant of the definition of Fascist.



    How does the system LET people become wealthy? How is having wealthy people a bad thing?



    This screed made ZERO sense. Let's tackle this from a different angle; what is preventing anyone in this country from making more or doing more?
    I'll answer these points if you're able to ask them nicely.

    That's another issue, self-confrontation. Since the Boomers are older, it's harder for them to admit when they're wrong. They've had these beliefs for around forty years, their politics have become part of their identity. Whereas a Millennial or a Zoomer is still young enough that this hasn't happened yet. This is part of why the country keeps moving to the Left. Each generation is open to change, becomes liberal, gets old, becomes close-minded and scared of changed, then the next generation becomes the new Liberals.

    One of the 27 wonderful things Boomers did was...take polio vaccines? Jonas Salk wasn't a Boomer. He was born in 1914.

    Boomers didn't invent the vaccines, they just took them.

    Also, this is a weird thing: "Baby boomers benefited from the welfare state, but they also proved that it stifled initiative, created a culture of dependence and was unsustainable." Wait - what? So they benefited from it, but claim it created a culture of dependency? So....that would mean the Boomers are the ones who created that culture of dependency. And it doesn't even exist....WTF?

    Fuckin' A, man....

    Part of the "Me Generation" is the belief that you are entitled to your opinion.

    You're not.

    No one is entitled to an opinion. Entitlements are earned, and opinions are not. Like "BoTh SiDeS aRe ThE sAmE", saying "I'm EnTiTlEd To My OpInIoN" is a rhetorical trick to avoid admitting that your opinion is stupid and wrong, that you are a lazy fuck, and you should probably stop participating in the debate since you don't intend to do so in good faith.

    Cause, I got plenty to say about it, but I think it would be neat if others chimed in with their reasons for why Boomers are just the fucking worst.

    "You're just jealous" is a convenient and lazy way to avoid admitting that you were suckered by the Prosperity Gospel and it's too late to admit it because you burned all your capital arguing in its defense.

    There is no economic argument against taxing the wealthy to pay for things like health care and education. Instead, there are emotional arguments meant to manipulate by playing on emotions like jealousy and resentment. It's hard for highly emotional people like that to distinguish between the economics and the emotion; for them, everything is guided by their emotions. Specifically, self-preservation...which is inherently a Boomer trait. "I got mine so fuck you", "greed is good", "he who dies with the most toys wins" are how Boomers fucked everything up.
    Bigotry.
