there I said it.

[rant]

Basically anyone over 40 is old. I have trouble relating to them. None of them want to talk to me. You can't get any respect for them. They always call you things like young man. Like I'm a child or something. They always tell you how to do your job. My intelligence easily surpasses their old, feeble minds- I don't need them telling me how to do my job.

I bet when you are old, you will then dislike young people.

actually I should refine my thread to people over 55.

But I had to throw in the over 40 to piss more people off.

But senior citizens are weird. They like live in another world. You can't seem to have a normal conversation with them.

I like older people a hell of a lot more than people younger than me (31).

I work around a lot of supposedly smart college students, who for the most part strike me as dull, vacuous, and superficial. Whereas older folks that I see at the pub (50+), you can talk just about anything and come away with knowledge to boot.

that's the thing.

when I go to pubs, I can't strike up any conversations with older folks. I relate more easily to young people. That's why I don't go to the classier pubs anymore. I just stick to ones young people go to.

At least an old person, when asked who Colin Powell is, doesn't reply " the vice-president or something."

The people I see around are little more than over-indulged, cosmetically-altered Ambercrombie Zombies who have about as much depth as a sheet of paper.

I don't mind old folks ranting about their 401Ks or golf rounds cuz I might at least draw some advice from it.

too ture. I am young, but I do agree that most of us are a little shallow. Old people can be infuriating at times...but they do have experinence, which imo is pretty priceless. Listen to their inane ramblings and then hopefully we will learn not to make the same mistakes they did

Dissident, didn't you ever hear that life begins at 40?

I don't really consider people of age 40 as 'old', and I'm 21. Old for me is 60+. I find for the most part that talking to older people is more intelletually stimulating than 'shooting the ****' with the MTV generation. Don't get me wrong, people my age are far more fun than people in their forties, but you can't just write these people off. They've been what you've been through, and most are willing to offer advice when you need it.

On the other hand, more people this age are cynical and disillusioned, because their youth is basically over.

People over sixty are a different story. I enjoy conversing with a few people who are this age, the ones who are still young at heart I guess. For the most part though I find it difficult to relate to them, and they to me, but I rarely meet someone obnoxious enough that tries to use their advanced years to beat me into submission over their 'superiority'. But just because I can't relate to them, it doesn't mean I don't like them.

Anyone else think old people smell funny?

Not because their youth is over. Because they've seen and experienced more things than you have.
I find that as i get closer to that age, i have seen and i still see more and more of the same stupid/mean/greedy behavior and less of the altruistic/noble/kind type.

So yeah, even though i am a cheerful guy by nature, i am getting cynical and disillusioned.

Yep.
Actually I can remember when I was 16 and knew everything.
So I cut the younger employees some slack. (before I decide to break them)

I can see both sides of this one. AND I"M NOT THAT OLD YET.

Now I'm old and don't know anything, but it's more than I knew when I was 16.

I hate old people who take the "I don't care about you because I am old and can do whatever I want because I was here first" attitude...
