    Why is "being old" an insult here?

    I've seen people make comments about people's age a lot on here. I guess I'm wondering why? I mean I can see making fun of someone for being fat, stupid, etc. But being older than someone is simply life. In x amount of years, the guy making fun of the old guy is going to be that age as well.

      maybe because the average age here is 25 and most of those think that after 35 or 40 they are gonna be retired?

      just a guess, never thought about it much

            its a bit obvious and you know the answer...

            Its common for people to make money and retire and enjoy life without working, its sad to see "older people" still pretending to be young and working to "go somewhere" or keep them busy...

            Thats one of the best descriptions to FAILURE imho...

                Quite true, expecially when anyone can die in the next 10 minutes.

                  25? Hell I'll be 38 in December. We used the Apple II in computer class in high school. When I was my son's age( he's 11 now ) the Atari 2600 was the system everyone wanted for X-mas.

                      Well I meant it's an insult on someone for something they can atleast control or are different than the other person. I'm not condoning it, just saying I think it's funny when people make fun of someone for what they will inevitably become.

                        Some of the most powerful businessmen in the world are over 50. I don't think it means failure at all.

                        Personally, no matter how much money I make in my life, I don't think I can ever stop working. I enjoy creating things.

                          some old people just cant stand doing nothing rich or poor

                          I see nothing wrong with being old and insults about it are not funny because they have made it there. and the insulter may not make it to that age.

                            as a young gun on the board, I like old people because they have something called life experience.

                              You really are a dumb fuck. You don't think that some of us enjoy what we do?

                              I have retired before. This is a lot more fun, and I get paid for it.

                                  What makes me more sad is the 40+ year olds who act like they are 8 on GFY.

                                      perhaps the youngenz bought those fountain of youth pills off a spam and now they do not need to get older like the rest of us.

                                        When I was a "young gun" used to make a point of employing older people even for relatively easy jobs - they are definately more stable, sensible and a generally good attitude - and often loyal friends.

                                        Anything involving "management" was always a matter of being 40+ with a track record - even employed our bank manager who was 50 at the time - great asset in any biz.

                                        Young folks with qualifications - ie degrees, programming languages, legal qualifications, technical ability, management training blah also have something to offer.

                                        When retirement age comes along - I sure ain't retiring from anything There's too much to do yet and actually like the adult biz, - not necessarily because it is the adult biz, but it offers a very wide range of options (not just net stuff), but from manufacturing, bricks and mortar to media blah. If I ever did have nothing to do - I'd prob be helping some other biz in adult get some project off the floor - not for money, just for the pleasure of seeing it work.

                                          it's common for people to make money and retire and enjoy life? the vast majority of the world's richest self made men keep working - retirement is generally for the working drones who spend 35 years working for somebody else.

                                          what do your parents do? are they failures?

                                              Generally the old folks have more on the ball/stablity than the younger folks, way more.

                                                      I'm old, and I'm okay with being old.

                                                      Considering the fact that I actively embraced the cocaine 80's, I feel damned lucky to be old.

                                                          Trust me, there was a time that the Vegas odds-makers never thought I would make it past 25.

                                                          In fact, when I divorced my first wife I took an insurance policy out on her as I was sure she would never last a year, but it's true, only the good die young.

                                                          You guys are stuck with me a while.

I think some here really believe that the rest of the world (esp. the US) pretty much thinks and behaves the same way that they do.

                                                                                                    Almost no one I encounter in day to day life would be a typical "gfy'er". I have multiple college degrees and have only slept with two people, and this has GOT to be the only place on the face of the planet where you will be laughed at, ridiculed, and told that you're stupid for admitting it, lol. Seriously, the rest of the world is not like gfy. That's why we're being led by Curious George goes to Washington.
