Yawn! Another person who has no idea what a "baby boomer" is, but feels free to try to rip them with obviously totally incorrect shit anyway.

Me and all my buddies were all about girls, cars, motorcycles, and beer. I knew a few peeps who were hippies but was not close friends with them, and most of them moved on from their youthful endeavors. I started working part time around 1964 and full-time from 1968 til I retired in 2021. |

Many more Boomers served in the military, many in Viet Nam. They were not drug, free love antiestablishment. I know because I was one of the many that chose to serve our country and did not engage in drugs nor the free love culture. |

Correct. I know. I did not say all. I asked rhetorically “how many”.

I saw hippies, Krishnas in the airport, Black Panther militants, etc. Never did they have an ounce of influence on me. Rules and repercussions for breaking them had the primary influence on me. Whether it be from teachers, parents, or friend's parents.

Twenty two? I worked from 12-6 Monday - Friday and 8-5 on Saturday at a lamp company all through high school from 16 years old to 18 years old. Got drafted at 18 and was in the Military for three years. I had a real job for six years before you got a real job? |

I’ve been working basically since I was 15 and still in high school. Graveyard shift at a newspaper, slept in class a lot. Probably explains a few things.

I did not know he was a boomer, but he seems a little confused on the math. He asked how many boomers were druggies "in the 60s", implying that a ton of us were. But since the oldest baby boomers turned 23 in '69, and less than half of boomers were over the age of about 14 in '69, it's hard to imagine very many boomers were the ones tripping out at Woodstock and the like.
