Things they considered morally fine (smoking, dropping litter, 40 year olds dating 16 year olds) is morally reprehensible, while things they thought were morally wrong or even outlawed are totally acceptable (homosexually, porn, divorce).

You just explained a large selection of boomers.

Yeah, a lot of them were born in the 1950s.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My comment now in retrospect was asinine. Yeah. True boomers are in that bracket.

Charlie Chaplin's daughter died recently and I looked him up on wikipedia. Charlie married last wife, and the mother of the recently deceased, when he was 54 and she was 18.

It may not technically be pedophilia, but it damn sounds like it.
