Selfish is my definition. I also forgot "net natives" this, to me, will be a label with meaning.

- ZenoArrow 9y agoSo the people that went through the Great Depression and WW2 and buried all that shit inside after WW2 ended so their children could live without that burden were selfish? I'd like to hear your explanation on that one!
- losteverything 9y agoIt's simply my opinion as a first hand?observer of my parents and their friends. Im a BB I also have the?privilege of family history and writings. Imo the war victory meant that the winners began "for the first time" thinking about themselves... Previous generations, from my understanding of my family history, were not all about doing for themselves. Its not the fault of BBers to be selfish because it was planted by our parents
- fapjacks 9y agoAh! That's why Baby Boomers aren't "The Selfish Generation" to this person. It's because he is a Baby Boomer.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoPersonal attacks are not helpful.
- freehunter 9y agoI don't think calling someone a baby boomer when they actually are a baby boomer is really a personal attack.
- fapjacks 9y agoRight. I thought it was interesting that this person doesn't think of Baby Boomers as "the selfish generation" (which is the age group I have most heard applied with that label), but the generation before Baby Boomers. But then when he said he himself is a Baby Boomer, it made sense why he wouldn't want to call himself "the selfish generation".
