Old people

Not okay.

 

I dislike a lot of old people. I dislike a lot of young people, too.

But cool old people are fucking GREAT. and there are some out there. I guess a lot of cool people don't get old. They die of awesomeness... that unforgiving disease.

 

I think staring your mortality in the face (should you live that long)is just tough on some people.

Did some work with senior citizens, some of them are hilarious. I miss a few of them, & they've left me with some funny stories to tell.

I wouldn't mind being a funny old person. You can get away with being an even bigger wiseass if you're using a walker. We had a couple pervs on the unit, & a drunken priest too.

 

I support this.

 

I like it how a lot of people in homes for the elderly have a LOT of free for all sex.

 

Didn't see any of that going on. We did have two married couples that lived with each other... Pretty boring really.

 

You like that.

 

I'm almost at the age where I'll have to break my hip and drive with my turn signal on.

 

If you had a sex-change, you wouldn't have to wait to do the shitty driving part.

 

Me too I'm terrified of em in a way.Altho' their experiences can be amazing.
Ageing isn't natural for a society at our scientific level.Its a disease IMO.

I think there's something really tragic looking at a pic of an old person, then seeing em young looking.

( cue flaming)

 

well yeah...die young and beautiful. The more triviality there is in a thought, the more this thought is true.
but still you could learn a lot from old people...if they are still able to talk or think at all.

 

Yeah I think about the James Dean approach LOL.But I've known people who died in their 20s thro thrill seeking.

Some old people are fascinating.I like to see old people with open minds.
And the ones who are fitness fanatics or kung fu masters.They're just *amazing*...

 

yeah you made me think of Burning Spear. The man is 61 of age and he is so vibrant its crazy!

 

I suppose the Rolling Stones get mixed opinions tho.LOL
Terrific musicians, either way.

 

If I had sex that would be a change.

 

Cue The Violins.....



Cheers Glen.

 

I have a lot of respect for old people, and some are really alright but most of the ones in retirement homes make me depressed as well. Too bad really, I want them to be happy and most of what they want is some attention but I have an aversion to be around them as well

 

:nopity:

 

I think this is kind of sad, all this subtle bad mouthing of elders, as if you are past your prime over 60.

See, the sad thing is, years and years ago, old people were seen as the ones with wisdom and they were highly respected, and younger people looked up to their elders.

Sadly, the problem today is two fold, 1. Most old people don't have that much to say. It is getting to that point, more and more with each passing generation, that old people don't have any important knowledge to pass down. This is because each passing generation is dumbed down through state sponsored schools and popular media and 2. Even if some old people had something to say, kids are to dumb to seek out those with wisdom, they don't listen worth a shit. Or they are arrogant dumb fucks who don't think they need the help. They do, and should shut up more and listen more.

In some cultures, the old person is still highly respected because they have a lot of wisdom and life experience. Sadly that is not the case all to often in the first world western countries, mirrored by the fact that all these teenage no-nothings think they have all this life experience. Growing old is nothing to be ashamed of if you have led a fulfilling life. Perhaps some people don't want to grow old because they never grew up and did shit with their life?

I have a lot of respect for older people, past and present, who went through a lot of shit in their years, learned from their mistakes, accomplished a lot, aged gracefully and than offer advice to young folks who so desperately need it, so they can be successful too.

 

I think there's different issues.

I sort of feel freaked out by decrepid people.Thats basically because I think ageing should be treated and cured.

Some old people are treated shockingly badly eg in hospitals and nursing homes.
And the people that do that to them should be gunned into pits IMO.

Some old people- yoga masters, kung fu masters, writers,scientists, just people with life stories etc can be amazing.And I have a masssive amount of respect for them.

Its two things.How people are when they go into "old age".And how society treats them.I think the dissipation of families and communities has sthg to do with it.
