"I hate old people" said the 20 year old

[jotathought]

Yeh, a few years ago I heard this young punk say this in front of several people, some of whom were twice his age.

Lovely children we are raising these days. Did his parents teach him this? His grandparents know about him having this sentiment?

So here's a thread on how to raise children properly. Number one thing: Discipline.. Respect for elders.. the notion that that world does not revolve around them alone

Yes .. the cornucopia of knowledge who will grow older and probably be living in his parent's basement.

While I respect some old people… I cannot abide trying to shop in the same store as them. The glacial shuffling as though they have all the time in the world. The sporadic blanking out… Literally had this blue hair stop in the middle of the aisle, upturned palms at her side, mouth open, stareing up at the ceiling..? WTF? Are you hearing voices? Forget where you were? Seriously. When I get old, I figure I’ll be in a bigger hurry than ever, knowing I have less time ahead of me.

Speaking of old King John the 1st of England. His DNA is in most of our presidents.

13 of 26 Photos in Gallery In 2012, a seventh-grader from California discovered that 42 of the first 43 American presidents are direct descendants of King John of England, also known as John Lackland, with the one exception being Martin Van Buren. King John is best known for having signed the Magna Carta in 1215, which helped bring about the evolution of the constitution of the United Kingdom. He is also famous—or more accurately infamous—for being depicted as a villain in the Robin Hood tales.
