Saying that all old people are bigots makes you a *gasp* bigot... of the worst kind.Not all old people of course, but as a general rule I don't like old people.
They are mean, spiteful, greedy, egotistical, ungrateful bigots.

Stop labeling groups to generalize negatively and start treating people as individuals who have each earned the way they are treated based on their own actions/behavior.
This is true. People old enough to remember, forget and people too young to have experienced life before the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the other pollution control laws don't seem to grasp the magnitude of the pollution problem that was. I remember driving through paper mill country in northern Wisconsin and my dad running the windshield wipers to clear the ash. There was a permanent gray snow storm around the mills. My wife talks about going to the Outer Banks as a kid and there were almost no seabirds due mostly to DDT and PCBs. The comeback since the bans has been incredible.
I think field trips to the local waste water treatment plant and landfill ought to be mandatory for all high school kids so they can get some idea of how it is that life here doesn't suck.
True dat! I grew up an hour east of Cleveland. In 7th or 8th grade, we took a field trip to the Cleveland industrial flats to observe the pollution. And yes, the Cuyahoga River did catch fire, which made Cleveland infamously known as 'the mistake on the lake'.
OP, "What other kind is there?"OP,
How many participation medals do you have?
Are you an old person? I ask because apparently that describes you as well.They are mean, spiteful, greedy, egotistical, ungrateful bigots.

OP,
Agree.
I don't understand this "respect your elders" thing.
The elders were young once and they were fucking morons (like the rest of humanity).
They got old....and are still morons.....just...old....morons.
The wisdom gained b/c they got old?.......is a fallacy!
BTW....If you don't treat me with respect.....don't expect to get any back.
I feel confident that I will be one of the exceptions, but if not, and I become a spiteful senile old bastard, then I won't blame anyone for hating me.
But do you literally hate every old person?
On so many levels that are too obvious to enumerate, Bernie Sanders has told me that you are no longer welcome as one of his supporters. You are a total embarrassment to him.Not all old people of course, but as a general rule I don't like old people.
They are mean, spiteful, greedy, egotistical, ungrateful bigots. You would think they would be concerned with their progeny. Will my grandchildren have a democracy to participate in? Will they have clean water, and air?
You'd think that, but history has proven us wrong on that.
My grandfather is a lifetime Union man, retired from the union, collecting a union pension, social security, and medicare.
He would gladly vote for a union busting politician who promises to raise the retirement age to 80, as long as he's grandfathered in and his SSI isn't in jeopardy. He doesn't give a shit if I'll ever be able to retire, as long as he doesn't have to pay taxes.
Not even kidding, there actually was an old man that used to complain to me about walking on his lawn!
I long time ago I had a job at Walmart, and I used to walk to the store for exercise, and to save money on fuel. Anyways, some old bastard had trees planting right next to the road, so you couldn't walk by. So, I could either walk in the street in a busy intersection, or cut through this old mans yard.
Guess, which I picked?
Well he didn't like that, and stopped me to complain two times. He went on and on about how everyone is cutting through his yard, and it's trampling his grass.
After the third time he tried to flag me down, I just gave him the finger and kept walking.
The old fucker was more worried about blades of grass, than people getting run over in the road! And it was his fault for blocking the path alongside the road anyways!
Not all old people of course, but as a general rule I don't like old people.

Wow I write a sardonic rant about young people targeting the OP, but it turns out he's older than I am...This isn't a troll. I really do dislike old people as a general rule! Not a teen either. I have already paid back my student loans.

That old man needs a couple of these:
Your convenience does not give you the right to trespass on his lawn...
