That's a truly repugnant statement.
Life Extension: The Modern Anti-Aging Movement - Are We Standing at the Threshold of Immortality? | Nevada Senior Guide
Takes a bit to get to the boomer part, but it's there.
So, perhaps so, but I don't think it's totally invalid. I know a lot of boomers who feel that way and a few that don't, I have no problem with *anyone's* quest to live longer/use their money on retirement, I think that's fine. I wasn't trying to criticize many boomers attitudes, I think it's fair enough. When you start spending money on *that* kind of stuff though, well.... It's kind of like cryogenics to me. If I ever make it to *very elderly*, I will be grateful, but I'm not on a hunt for immortality either. God, life's HARD I'm not innit for that..... To be fair, the cryogenic movement was developed WAY before the boomer generation.... But, I can't tell you how many boomers I've met who were all like, "Hillary, Hillary, save my retirement!" and seriously, that was like, the *only* focus they had. Which is *also* fine you can vote for whom you want, but some of this "Life extension" nonsense is pretty repugnant to me, when kids are dying of lack of vaccination, sometimes in our country. I'm just saying, every generation has their pluses and minuses, I was joking about the snowflakes somewhere else, and no one had a fit. I guess it hit too close to home? OF COURSE not every boomer's like that, but it is a fairly well known stereotype. Stereotypes may be repugnant on some level, but that doesn't make them *invalid*, it just makes them not PC, and I don't care about PC much because as far as I'm concerned, anyone needing to POINT THE FINGER is themselves is the idiot/racist/generationist because there are times that stereotypes are valid, helpful, and useful to make a point and there comes a time where *I* at least don't care.... though I think that I could have ammended that statement to *many* boomers, to be fair to your, ah, concern. Though really, you could have let it go. BUT NO, let's point fingers, instead. I wasn't raised here, I don't have issues with statements that *not everyone will agree with* and quite frankly, if I were to have pointed out the MULTIPLE cultral stereotypes about the French, that would probably have been fine.
I have freedom of speech, as do you. So, rock on.

I've loved many boomers and disliked others... For the exact reasons I stated. I can't tell you what the "retiries" around here are like, but A MULTITUDE of them are bad drivers, totally self-entitled and self righteous, and I hate it (sometimes) when summer ends and they flock back. That said, I live in a community that's got some elderly folks in it and don't WANT to sequester themselves from the rest of the world in "Over 60" communities and whatnot. EVERY time I've entered one of those communities, I have had a bad experience, including being attacked once by an elderly lady *IN A GOLF CART* who drove herself infront of my son's go cart and lectured me for a time about how "You aren't allowed here" when it was a PUBLIC park. First, she could have caused an injury, secondly, *who does that?* And by that I mean, LYING, she just didn't want us there.... I told my son to back the F up and we left, as I didn't want to.... Involve myself in the Tucson Police Department. The amount of times retirees have acted entirely entitled, demanding, and rude, even in grocery stores? One boomer gave the the finger once because he was sitting for 3 minutes trying to figure out how to park, and so eventually I drove around him, parked, and as I was leaving *he* was entering and said, "You should have let me park back there," and I was like, "Ah, sir, I did let you park for 3 minutes, but it was looking like it might be forever....." I LIVE in a town of baby boomers and the ones that depart for the summer are the ones we most dread coming back. Perhaps there's some self-selection of sorts, but the boomers I meet from day to day don't inspire me with the desire to do anything but *get the hell away from them* and I am FAR from the only one.
Maybe you know nicer boomers. I guess I'll find out more when I visit the "Over 60 community" and offer to help. But so far, I haven't been impressed....
