    I think a lot of the younger folks on the social media are just wanting attention. It is like yelling, "Look at me, look what I can do!"

    Take out the word 'younger', replace 'the social media' with 'everywhere', a change 'just wanting attention' to 'desparate attention whores'.

    Amen brother you got it right!

    as those of us who were born to boomers.

    A lot of the older people on BBSes back when I was a kid had these same kind of "troll-esque" discussions. I just don't understand
    the point of some of i I always had a lot of fun with it.

    idiot kids on social media think anybody older than them is a boomer.
    they call people in their 40s boomers.
    I feel sorry for them. They are going to miss out on some real character and community building experiences in REAL life. I am a boomer and proud of it. John,
