There is something I want to say—but first…

I want to make it clear that it’s not directed at any one person. I’m not singling anyone out—"boomer bashing" has pretty much become the national pastime. So this is not meant to cause offense.

But I’ve always had an issue about giving people a bad time around things that they have absolutely no control over, for example:

Their race, ethnicity or country of origin.
Their physical abilities or disabilities.
Their size or shape.
Their sex or gender.
Their sexual orientation.

And, the number of birthdays they have had.

The last seems to be the one area where it’s still open season, and frankly, it kinda sucks.

Nobody’s getting any younger, and there are both good and bad things that every generation can claim, when the final ledger’s written.

Just saying. 🥺

It needs saying. At first I thought this was just an annoying light-hearted jibe, but of late it's became quite nasty and aggressive on occasion, as if one doesn't have a right to go on living ONLY because of age. I know that if this continues those throwing the insults will, before they know it, find that they're on the receiving end and will wonder what they did to deserve it.
