Isnt it funny how no matter how hard you look on youtube for good comments on a boomer vid you maybe find like two positive boomer comments among a sea of negative boomer comments. Im thankful that I'll never feel this hated. Know that the majority of younger people that you walk past on the sidewalk smile at you but down inside they have a deep hatred of you and all you standfor

@Lalo3001 --Boomers dumped traditional morality on its head among other things they ruined.

@sassychavi Why all this hate against the Booms????

Well for starters, you're badly mistaken about Civil Rights. All of the Legends of Civil Rights, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Robert Kennedy, Cesar Chavez were members of the Greatest or Silent Generations, NOT the Booms.

Even the Booms music, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, etc were all members of my parents gen, the Silent Generation, born between like 1929-1946. The booms just take credit for everything.

True, Bill & Steve are exceptions.

No question, Boomers exposed institutions and made heads spin in their young years with protest, pot and rock 'n' roll. This video leads me to question why Boomer managers and coworkers doubt Gen Yers ability to lead the workforce of tomorrow. Surely Boomers, of all generations, can understand why Gen Y demand transparency and enthusiasm from the companies they work for. They have Boomer style education, value of freedom and social concern; the two generations have a lot to share!

I don't think the the stuff about nasa at the end is fair. BABY BOOMERS DID NOT PUT MEN ON THE MOON!!!!! The fist man on the moon was born in 1930. The people who built rockets and went to space were all born in the 30s and BEFORE! They were the overlooked generation of heros who faught in WW2. Most boomers were not even out of high school when Apollo 11 landed. Boomers have taken credit for more than they are worth. Progress in space STOPED when boomers took over.

@festiveclown I think the issue is how hippocritical the boomers have become. They've lost hold of all that they stood for and have become the people they stood against.

@blackloverules Whoopty fucking doo. You and a billion other people.

Most baby boomers led decent lives and paid a MASSIVE amount of tax and pension contributions. It is not the fault of this generation that evil banksters and politicians have destroyed the country. When hyperinflation comes, baby boomers will have the small amount of income they have destroyed. There is an argument for saying that people in their mid thirties to late forties racked up all the debt. Baby boomers were taught to fear debt.
