Wow, that device exists?
So cool; I almost fashioned one out of spare parts years ago, when a friend had
wildcats eyeing her ducks.
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!
It's his lawn and you have no right to trample it.
Are you so stupid that you would get ran over in the road?
You read his OP and you have to ask how stupid he is?
Our sports teams have also added to that moniker.
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.

OP,
How many participation medals do you have?
you from cleveland too?
Well of all people THEY REMEMBER HOW GOOD THE WORLD USED TO BE AND HOW MUCH OF A TRASH HOLE IT IS NOW!! (So its understandable)mysticjbyrd said: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.
"The Greatest Generation"
I won't end up like them if I can belp it.
Am I alone here? I figured there would be a lot of people that sympathized with my position.
Ahhh, so there's the reason you don't like old people - they're the only ones who apparently will correct you when you're acting like an entitled little brat.Not even kidding, there actually was an old man that used to complain to me about walking on his lawn!

To be fair they were the greatest at selling out the country from under their children's feet so maybe that's what it's referring to?
I think old people would be a lot more fun if pot were legalized. It's tough to keep that stick up your ass when you're stoned. So if the aging of the population really bothers you, you should work that much harder to get dope legalized.I am on your side. I think they're cranky because at some point they realize that they are a drain on society and basic things like taking a pee or making toast have become cumbersome adventures but they are still afraid of death.I sympathize, I would probably act the same way if I was faced with that bleak existence, day in and day out. It doesn't make it any less annoying to the rest of us though.
Heh. The Beat generation of the 50's and the flower children of the 60's are the old people of today. Just about all of them have smoked pot and some still do. I don't know where young people today get their stereotypes from but old people aren't quite the sticks in the mud they seem to imagine them to be. mysticjbyrd probably doesn't actually know any other old people besides the jerks in his family. Seems the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.I think old people would be a lot more fun if pot were legalized. It's tough to keep that stick up your ass when you're stoned.

Now, they are screwing over everyone by voting for the Shilldabeast, instead of Bernie Sanders.
Yeah, but some of us don't know where to buy it any more so we're reduced to using pharmaceuticals.Just about all of them have smoked pot and some still do.
I hope to live to see the day when pot is legal across the US.Yeah, but some of us don't know where to buy it any more so we're reduced to using pharmaceuticals.
This is why they shouldn't be allowed to vote. They think they figured out the whole world thirty years ago, yet things have changed, and their mental states are completely divorced from reality. In general, they always, ALWAYS, pick the wrong candidate! For those that suggest that we can't do that, I disagree. There is precedent!
If someone is physically incapable of driving, then they will have their driving privileges revoked. It's the same thing here. They lack the mental capacity to make good decisions based on the future, so they shouldn't be allowed to vote.
