5. Yet it *IS* a puzzling fact. Why do so many of your contemporaries lean so far right?

After everything they've seen and experienced in life, you'd think the 65+ crowd wouldn't fall for the Right Wing's bullshit.

But they are more susceptible to it than anyone.

Why is that?

They SHOULD have outgrown the tired arguments of the right by now.

How is it that the average 25 year old is more correct in his thinking than the average 65 year old?

6. It's a good question. I always wonder too, like WTF. I've never changed since

Edited on Tue Aug-10-10 08:50 PM by RKP5637

my 20's. I hated RW stuff then and hate it even more now. It's the same question I ask all the time. Maybe I never grew up to be an old fart. I really disliked them then and I dislike them now, the RW Fox types.

12. When people think they're being insulted when they're not

I like to give a real insult just to prove how wrong they were the first time they got all hoity-toity. It's kinda like what you get for heckling a comedian.

:smoke: :silly:

19. I think your remarks are borderline ageist and racist

I don't consider myself old yet, but I'm getting there and I'm sick of being discriminated against because of my age.

22. Old people vote...

So basically we have a right wing propaganda outfit that is very popular with the block of voters most likely to turn out at the polls.

There is nothing amusing about that.
