    Boomers are by and large objectively less ethical than the generations that followed them. However, no sweeping generalization can really be true and even if they could be, the original post here is not helpful.

      OK, I am sorry, but I am pretty sure, your use of objectively is wrong here!

      What empirical evidence are you basing this claim on?

        Language is imprecise. What I’m saying is that I have known many, many boomers who actively do not give a shit about their fellow citizens. Millennials tend to give a shit. Be pedantic about it if you will, but I’ve no doubt that if such a study existed to measure this, there would be data to back up what I’m saying. I do not wish to enter into an argument about this or the words I used. I think my point is a fair one and many people have noticed the same trend.
