0 kingofpain Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Actually, the old man is not very bright and neither is the applauding crowd and the young man is least intelligent. I would have started rattling off a list of things we have developed for the next generation. The Internet, Space tourism, Mars exploration, hybrid cars, and heavens knows what more we are on track to develop. This is, of course, in addition to not engaging in a World War where cities were obliterated by nuclear weapons (although we do have problems of our generation). No disrespect intended for my previous generations though, we couldn't have done all this without their progresses just like they couldn't have done what they did without their predecessors. I just find that the old man's 'comeback' or 'clever reply' was fairly ignorant and shame on the young man who couldn't call him out. I also believe very firmly that age does not automatically garner respect. You have to earn my respect whether you are 5 or 95. I do understand that age brings wisdom, but how much wisdom it brought a particular individual is up for questioning. I've known pre-teens that are intellectually and emotionally more mature than retired individuals Cheers! -- Vig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can debate about things for pages on a new topic in the OTHERS SECTION. The moral is do something for the kids of tomorrow and not brag about who has or had whatever things. If it was'nt for older people we would be behind in alot of things. They helped shape todays world. Start a new topic if you are adding to this above paragraph.
