BTW who in there right mind is taking this thtread serious? Like everything, there are good one & bad ones. Just because a man is 75 does'nt mean he saved a bus full of children or a cat from a tree.

I have paid a portion of MY salary into Medicare since it's inception.
I have paid a portion of MY salary into Social Security since i was 15 years old.
I have never had the need to use Medicaid or Assisted Living and our Utility Company doesn't offer any age related discounts.

I just blew your point apart.

+1 here. I'm nearly 70 now and have never taken an assisted living payment. I do take my SS and Medicare, which I have paid for about 50 years. It's mine. I put it in that account and I want to draw on it. The problem with SS is all the lieing young people on SS claiming false disabilities and free loaders working the system. Or immigrants to this country that haven't paid a cent into it.

If you don't like old guys, that's fine. May your diapers leak some day and your Proctologist have fat fingers. :D

Every bold young pup will be an old dog some day. I just hope that he turns out to be a wise old dog.

We all wish we could stay young, but that is not going to happen.
I'm no brain surgeon, but when I look back decades ago when I was twenty and thought I knew everything, I now realize how stupid I must have looked to the old guys then.
Ten feet tall and bullet proof I was, me and my pals. I left two of my school pals in pieces in Vietnam, another one was killed in prison, and one was killed in a bad drug deal, just buried one the other day died of lung cancer, from smoking cigarettes in his youth.
I could go on, but you know the story. None of us were ever ten feet tall and bullet proof, and we get smarter with age, just a fact. Life will educate you.
So you young guys enjoy your youth and your young friends, that will all shift soon enough. Don't despise us for being old and in your way. You will be old and in someone's way before you know it.
Happy day to all.
Let me always be the person my dog thinks I am.

I have always thought getting old was better than the alternative but listening to some of the younger folks it sounds like maybe I am wrong.

Most of my favorite hunting partners are between 15 - 30 years older than I am. I hope this will instill a solid respect and appreciation for elders in my 8 year old son. This thread appears to be full of bitterness and resent for elderly folks. Unfortunately for you posters who blatantly reveal this lack of respect, you just don't get it. By the time you do get it, you'll be the old man in the hunting party. That is if anyone will even be obliged to hunt with you.

Why does everyone here always pick on Joe Biden? :wink:
'Cause Pelosi is passed being old and is now senile. Besides, Joe is funny just to look at. I think Joe is probably a nice guy to have a beer with.

Where are all these handouts?! Being 26 I must fall into the young category, but I still havent seen these handouts everyone speaks of! I must be bad at being lazy.

There is nothing wrong in being 26 and understand that there is a hole lot of experience that has not been gain yet.
I still think or believe that the folks in the big World War 2 are the greatest generation ever lived. Food for thought on my part and my opinion of course.... :)

When I was 18 I thought I knew it all.
When I was 30 I realized I didn't.
When I was 40 I was looking for answers.
When I was 50 I found a few.
Now at 55 I'm still learning each day.
Looking forward to 80 when I can say...
"I've had a good life all the way"...
God Bless You All.

"The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for
authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place
of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their
households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They
contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties
at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

Why own a dog? There's a danger you know,

You can't own just one, for the craving will grow.

There's no doubt they're addictive, wherein lies the danger.

While living with lots, you'll grow poorer and stranger.

Thank you for this! Human nature changes so little over time, including the narcissistic ideal of moral supremacy over other generations. That is why history repeats itself.

When I was young, the old people were the generation that raised their kids in the Depression, somehow, and ran the farms and factories by themselves in their 40s and 50s while 8 million young men went off to fight Tojo and Hitler. Later, the old were that bunch raised with nothing but home made toys in the Depression and who got WWII for their high school graduation. I and my generation have had a pretty cushy run, but we have pretty well shaped the world we see now, good or ill (and I'm afraid in the main it is ill). I hope we haven't screwed up too much for our grandkids.

Old or young, sniveling makes you look weak. You can pretend weakness for short term gain, but in the long run it destroys you.
If the dogs make you nervous, I can shut you in the back room.

I have the deepest respect for you sir. 8)
I might also add the women folk during WWII working in the factories building tanks, half-tracks, jeeps, six packs, browning 50 cal., 30 cal., MI grand and various rifles and pistols, bombers and fighters, and victory ships to name a few to support the war with very long hours.
I have deepest respect for them as well. I believe we will never see that again because of the nuclear age.
IMO :)

Edit to post: I am second generation. My dad was in the Korean War and I was in the Vietnam campaign. My middle daughter is third generation that served Afghanistan. She is now in Alaska and can’t tell me what she is doing and I am not going to speculate. :!:

Might I ask, see what again?

Women in the workplace? People banding together to support a cause they believe in? Or factories in the US?
