:hide: If people would be truthful, it could be interesting, at least for me.

Life and experiences change your perceptions. I'd love to know what's going on here.

to type my age for two whole days though. Probably not two whole hours. mental pause is grand!

I don't have a problem with my memory, yet!

how often someone would be dismissed and talked down to because of their age. It already happens frequently.

We would also see that maturity is often not a product of age.

why it would be interesting. DUers are less than truthful at times, from my learned experience in GD/P, :rofl: so would they fess up to their age? Also, all the newbies that abound, are they serious or will they 'be gone' by November if not before.?

...to be the most immature of them all. Age doesn't matter.

who think it's a good way to debate.

But they tend toward the stupid end of the scale.

to be full of excrement from a bull.

:cry: :cry:

It sure is a good thing that I'm rubber and your glue. :P

And can you define "excessively" :think:

that would impact you?

You'd still be nothing but an anti-Clinton clipping service - somebody who's devoted her life to destroying a potential candidate.

It's a GD thread, but you might get some goiod data from it. I specifically refer to the replies.

season, isn't it, for pickin' the next prez!

And for the record, in 04, you made me feel like I had as much of a right to be here with my measly posts as anyone did. I won't soon forget that, so thank you.

who our nominee is. It is inevitable.

Hope not...besides my lawn is pretty well soaked right now, so...I don't really think anyone would wanna' be on it anyway...


But you can cut across it if you want to... :)

way, though I hope you were kidding.

Seriously? No, I'm not kidding. I've just spent the last two days reading about how I fucked up the world for the younger generation, and how I should get the hell out of the way. And it's really pissing me off.

(The cut-off, I'm told, is 45. I'm 46.)

51-going-on-52, but let's keep that down. So do tell, what am I about to miss? And I'm here! :hug:

but I am too old to even figure out how the damn thing works.

But I could never ignore you, Sapphocrat....

And I am leaving California, headed East.

and that is why I have been away.

When is Adult Swim?

:rofl: No shit! I've tried valiantly to remain above it all. So, tell me, Tom, who won't you vote for, again? What is the temp where you live? Inquiring minds...

I will vote for whoever the nominee is.

Deal is, though, I am planning to move to NYC real soon.

I have no idea what the residency requirements are, there.

The temp is mid-40s and a bit foggy.

And I am mid-50s and quite a bit foggy.

Hope all is well.

nirvana of memory. Why? Foggy?

All is well. I hope with you also.

I'll be glad when the primaries are over!

However, I also have to say that I am glad there are a lot of younger voices on DU. I think each group can learn from the other.

it also helps identify the generations, all of whom have different ideas on how the world turns.

From the idealistic 18 year olds who know that they are immortal to the older folk who are just waiting around for the next great adventure to happen, it is a cornicopia of time capsules on a board like this.

72

Botice that you dismiss those of other generations as naive idiots, and lionize your own as well adjusted and resourceful. I know 18 year olds who are far from idealistic and very much aware of mortality, and can provide very useful and intelligent opinions. I know 70 somethings who are limited, parochial and anachronistic, and rather than waiting for the next big adventure are merely biding time as best they can in a very narrow worldview.

Yes I know the way you put it too - seen it that way as well and everywhere in between. Generational stereotyping is stereotyping nonetheless, and it's a VERY short step from that to prejudice and bigotry.

But too old for the Wave of the Future gang.

:shrug:

Unfortunately, women lie about their age all the time. I have a feeling everyone would be around 30, don't you. Great suggestion though. I'll do it.

I'm not ashamed of being 52.

:hug:

I remember what the three did to the U.S

Harding with policies much like George Bush, at a time when productivity was growing fast , encouraged the corporations to take most of the of the monies from the hard work of the working class. The productive workers in the United States were making such low salaries that they couldn't aford to buy what they needed, the very products they were making, the upper class already had two of every thing thus the Great Depression, however we were fortunate in getting FDR a democrat following three republican administration, our army was in shambles, it took FDR and the Americn women going to work to help get this nation back on it feet.Army had to be rebuilt in order to enter the war to stop Hitler.. Our women rose up tood jobs while our men were fighting, the nation pulled togeather under FDR other wise we might be speaking German.

Peace:thumbsup:

Not a day goes by that I don't see some snide condescending asshole dismiss someone else because they have been on this site less time and posted fewer messages, as if political acumen and intellect were dependent on how much time or inclination somebody has to seek out one specific site. I don't want to see the same crap about age, as if being 50 automatically made you more insightful and perceptive than being 30.

Not personal angst either - I'm in the middle of teh pack on both counts. I just prefer to evaluate an opinion on its own merits, not biased by preconceptions of how dumb younger people or newer DUers are. And whether you personally would do that, you have surely seen enough to know that would most definitely be the overwhelming response.
