In the Philippines, I think the dumbest generation has to be the 60's youth who dressed in funny looking clothes, wore long hair, and embraced alternate lifestyles. They believed in a different ideology and rebelled against the "Establishment" even though it was the "Establishment" that brought relative prosperity to our country. Their music was great though.
If that's your idea of a dumb generation you must be from the current generation. If the clothing looked funny to you then you'll be in for a surprise when your kids see what you wore during your days because they'll find it funny and weird. Look at the clothes worn in the 70's, 80's and 90's and you'll find they they also look funny now. Long hair is still around the last time I looked around and that so called alternative lifestyle pushed the limits to what is now cosidered acceptable. They may have rebelled against the establishment but they made people think outside the box and didn't just accept things for what they are. The very people who made People Power possible came from the generation you call dumb. No, I am not of that generation but I understand that the actions of that generation had more influence in how the world changed than any generation after it. Internationally that generation brought about the internet and space flight just to name a few.
