the generation gap sickens me. we have been raised by older baby boomers to their standards and decorum. Yet the world they have given to us conflicts with their tidings.
It's time to stop being like them because they will die soon. The best we can do is get on with them.
Generation X and Y have made more of an effort to get on with them than they have to get on with us.
We are just different, face it and don't try to compromise. Just respect that's all you can do.

I really think we need a young-ish guy in the white house.

My mother raised me and she's not a baby boomer.
Actually, she's as liberal as the best of them. I believe that WE are in control right now.

yet they still tell me how to live by their ways when i am a modern new school guy.
so when they are gone then what we change again?!!!

their generation was serious yet fun, tough, old-fashioned and strict-it's time to let that blow over.

We are about the feel-good, world awareness, environmentalism, expressive and live for the day values.

What have I missed?

A lot of baby boomers (like my parents) were liberal hippies.

And liberalism is at it's highest peak since the 70's.
I think that's the point the OP was trying to get across.
So, problem? I see none. There are still more conservative baby boomers. Most of them, actually.

yeah, and who do  you think those 70's liberals were? The baby boomers.

BABY BOOMERS=A WHOLE LOT OF THEM.
They weren't all hippies. A lot of them WERE conservative.
And then, a lot of those hippies got older and became conservative.

I mean it depends on where they're from and stuff I suppose, if they're from the Midwest probably going to be more conservative, it depends on where you go.  

I think the reason they've imposed the insane amount of rules on us (minors have less than half the rights of convicted felons) is because they don't know what it's like to not be able to buy cigarettes because of your age, or to have all these other rules, and the media is different now so they think the world is "more dangerous"(it's actually safer in America) and they're trying to protect us in the wrong way.

And yeah.

Not necessarily, I read a study somewhere that people actually become more liberal with age.  

I mean it depends on where they're from and stuff I suppose, if they're from the Midwest probably going to be more conservative, it depends on where you go.

From personal experience, I've seen people get more conservative with age. Especially in this day and age.
But I do agree, it does depend on where you go. I for one, live in a red state. So obviously people will be more conservative here.

And I also agree about them thinking we live in more dangerous times. As dangerous as it is now, I don't think a lot of older people like to put themselves in our situation. They think we have it made, when in all honesty, as much "freedom" we have, we have just as many rules.

anecdotes are useless when making broad generalizations.

Violent rime rates were considerably higher in their day, they're just buying into the media machine now that they've figured out how to make tons of money off their fears.

We have nicer things with technology and we have it easier overall I'd say, but definitely less freedoms.
