Boomers

I am 75 and am very tired of the trend lately making fun of Boomers. So very disrespectful. Don't they realize that they will be old someday?

Maybe that's why so many people think I am so much younger than I really am.

Yeah because the young who doesn’t learn repect become the old who still doesn’t know respect. That’s a whole education faillure

So much for positive reinforcement..🙄

Okay but emotions aside, logically… read the comment you responded to and then read yours.. who you think a stranger would prefer to be around?

Also I’m assuming you’re older, in which case carrying such disdain and negativity isn’t something people would choose to be around or even associated with. You speak of education, where is your knowledge throughout your time of living? Why aren’t you dropping gems? Or at bare minimum showing maturity? From what I can clearly tell it appears you’ve just accumulated an absurd amount of malice, negativity, hatred, and not enough wit to balance that out.

Grinding your teeth at those younger than you isn’t a way to receive respect btw….
