Boomers born in 60s....how are we responsible...I lost 2 brothers that never came back mentally from vietnam...please explain....are they to blame in your opinion? Just curious because people spit on them and booed them at the airports... I love this blame game all of the time instead of blaming it on the true decievers...we are mere pawns . It is just something to cause argument which certain people love to do. Who do we blame with what Ireland, Italy and most countries are becoming?
I'm sorry about your poor brothers, Agnes. My husband was also treated terribly upon his return from Vietnam. These men were drafted, did their duty, and got nothing but grief for it in return. You are right, they were no more than pawns. The same thing repeated itself in Operation Desert Storm after 9/11. They can say what they will about boomers, but the vast majority stepped up to the plate for their country, provided for their families, and educated their children. Every generation since the beginning of time has made mistakes. It serves no purpose to single out the boomer generation and blame them for everything that has gone wrong since the day they were born. Evil forces infiltrated into the fabric of society and turned life as we knew it, upside down and sideways.
Ok, we saw this orb descend from the sky and land on a branch on the tree. So does this explanation fit?
Please dont seem this as blame game. I grew up in the 50"s. I was loyal and patriotic. My BIL was a helo pilot exposed to agent orange. The VA says he doesn't qualify. I lost a high school friend in Viet Nam--not physically but mentally. The list goes on. Boomers must answer for abortion and feminism. Etc.
Usually the benchmark for the Baby Boom generation goes from 1946 to 1964. While true that almost all of the contentious US presidencies of the last 30 years had a president who was born in that era, much of the earliest unrest in the 1960s was paved not so much by the Baby Boomers so much as the generation or two that came before them, The Silent generation and the Greatest generation who were in positions of authority in the late 60s.... The oldest Boomers were only 24 at the start of 1970, a point at which much had changed rapidly. While not entirely blameless, it should be their older mentors who should get more of the criticism.
Thank you to your husband for his service!! I'm so sorry for his treatment. I agree with everything you said and you said it perfectly!!!
This is tragic of what's happening in TX... prayers needed. Remember the solar events we had in March/April 2024? While we had forum discussions about it last year in some different threads. i.e.--here's the link below of the U.S. map/solar path (map posted by PF)... one of the solar eclipse paths going from down south (Texas) onwards and upwards to northeast. In TX, the current floods, involving the San Gabriel River and the Guadalupe River. https://motheofgod.com/threads/heavenly-signs-upcoming-lunar-and-solar-eclipses.20330/#post-444717 (re: the link, scroll down to PF's post to on March 19th, 2024, the image of map is there.) And the other solar event path that which criss crosses the other ...at the intersect, is the area location of New Madrid fault. Just thinking out loud & putting this here. Perhaps we may come back to pray the prayer given to nun, Sr. Mildred Neuvil by our Blessed Mother, as our "Our Lady of America".
I didn't mean to single out the boomer generation to play the blame game, my parents were boomers. It's true they lived during some of the biggest mass propaganda campaigns but they come from parents of the Greatest generation in America! My daughter saw pictures of my grandmother and said why don't we dress that way anymore?? Meanwhile, my aunts were the first in line to get tattoos, dyed their hair pink and rock out to The Clash. My uncles got rich running an illegal something until they could establish themselves in respectable business while their father had worked on a farm in the summer picking beans for a penny a day! A lot, not all like Agnes here, wanted to break from the past for whatever reason. All the boomers I have ever gotten to know are extremely intelligent and well spoken but the majority of them didn't see a problem with letting their girls wear jeans and chant "girls rule, boys drool" or even encouraging the use of birth control to help with facial acne. Again, I am not trying to lay blame on one generation; in art and architecture the tendency is to pull away from what is already known, the pendulum must swing in the other direction. My family, too, were pawns of the war machine. My mother's uncles, all amazing men serving in WW2, all came back with problems and didn't get anything for it. And my great, grandfather in WW1, yet he came back terribly changed and it broke up his family, my grandfather then becoming very effeminate in his manner of dealing with problems eventually abandoning his family of four daughters and thus my mom believing an abusive husband is better than no husband/father for her children. Acknowledging the problems I see doesn't mean I blame anyone, they all could have acted differently as could an entire generation.
Yesterday, Croatia witnessed the largest official concert in the world – not a free concert, but a ticketed one – with over 500,000 people in attendance, and at least another 200,000 watching from across the river embankment (in a country of just about 4 million people). It was a concert by our rock/metal singer Marko Perković Thompson, a man who, during our defensive war for independence from communist Yugoslavia and the Greater Serbia aggression, was a soldier and defender. He wrote songs that became anthems of courage for the defenders while our homes were being destroyed, people murdered and tortured, and a third of our country was under occupation. He became a symbol of resistance. Thompson is a man of deep faith, and around 50% of his songs intertwine patriotism and Christianity. He openly testifies to his faith and is now widely considered a national symbol. At the same time, he has been relentlessly attacked by the media and politicians, who constantly try to label him and his supporters as fascists, Nazis, haters, or clerical fascists. He faces false accusations, attacks on his family, and media blackouts — he is effectively banned from radio, despite being by far the most popular singer in the country. Unfortunately, many key positions in society are still held by former communist officials and EU-aligned, pro-LGBT bureaucrats. There were public hopes that this concert would fail — some even anticipated deaths, spread fear and hate, and claimed such an event would be logistically impossible to organize. But what happened instead was an overwhelming sense of unity, love for God and Homeland. The emotional highlight came during the drone light show: "the Virgin Mary appeared in the sky", followed by a rosary, a large cross in the colors of the Croatian flag, and a Croatian falcon. During the song "Maranatha" (from the album Ora et Labora, meaning "Lord God, come"), Bishop Šime Ivas read a powerful passage mid-performance — turning the moment into what felt like a real homily. The lyrics of song go: “Maranatha, come Lord into the land of the Croats. Maranatha, come for the joy of all my people. Maranatha, come quickly and stay with us forever. Let the time of deceivers, false prophets, cowards, traitors, oath-breakers, liars, apostates, and murderers... and all the servants of Evil from among my people… come to an end. Take the false masks off the face of my Croatia. Let her shine in all her beauty and her faith in You, the God of my people.” Finally, here are a few photos from the concert and drone show. Fans came from over 50 countries – from Poland and the Czech Republic to Latin America – even though he sings only in Croatian, which truly surprised me.
