Why do we listen to old people? They do not understand modern society

[George Costanza]

Some of us old farts still can rock.

It is late on a Friday afternoon. The scene: an upscale jewelry store in downtown Manhattan. Enter a really old guy who has a 23-year-old chick on his arm with huge tits (the chick - not his arm).

"Yes, we'd like to see the most expensive ring you have."

"Yes, SIR." The jewelry store owner brings out a huge diamond rock. "This ring is valued at $74,000.00."

"It's bupkis. I said we wanted to see your most expensive ring. Show it to us, please."

The jewelry store guy goes into the back and opens the safe. "All right, sir. We normally do not even show this ring without armed guards present. This ring is valued at $850,000.00."

"We'll take it," says the old guy.

The girl's eyes are like saucers.

"Very WELL, sir," says JSG. "How do you plan to pay for it?"

"I'm going to write you out a check for the full amount and hand you the check now. You may call my bank tomorrow morning and verify that the check is good. When you have done so, please call me on Monday, and we will be in to pick up the ring."

Next Monday morning, the old guy's phone rings. It's the jeweler. "Sir, there isn't any money in that account."

"I know," says the old guy. "But let me tell you about my weekend . . . "

Moral: Not every old person is senile.

Why do we listen to old people? They do not understand modern society Because we brought you into this world and we can take you out any time we feel like it. It is the science of this is our world and you will always suck hind tit.

If she thinks this country is now a horrible place because of half its citizenry then why did she come to the US when FDR or Truman was the president?

when were you born?

 

[uscitizen]

Why do we listen to old people? The old fossils probably lived in the woods in cabins & could not possibly understand science or our complex modern urban society.

Take heart, dear. One of these days YOU will be one of those "old people" who's regarded by the young as an "stupid old fart."

If he/she is lucky.

Remember there is only one way to avoid getting old.

Golly, I must have missed that quote in the linked article. And BTW - a restaurant/culinary site is now authority for political quotations?

Oh, wait a minute - I found it. It isn't in the article itself but, rather, appears over the name of "Bill," who ascribes the quote to Gov. Lamm (no link, of course) in his reply to the article - along with ten other folks who also replied.

I get it now. No problem.

If the congress passed a bill about the links of articles we could use, but didn't inlude restaurant.culinary sites, then we could have a constitutional question regarding the Executive Branch's power to enforce laws that we then might be able to follow. But then, if it was a Judicial Question, how would we answer it? We could only depend on other constitutional articles that had been passed in the distant past when it was not a question.

I never bother to watch that YouTube bullshit posted by twerps. But I can answer your question as to why we listen to old people. It's because our society isn't as "complex" and "modern" as asshat adolescents want to believe it is, and old people understand something deeper and more meaningful: human nature. That never changes.

I say we should give young adults the barest of minimum care. If they're smart enough to survive until they're 35, THEN they can have full coverage. We'll save a lot of money on weeding out the biggest dumbasses.

This is a well publicized quote.

The fact that you so cutely referenced it as "Oh, wait a minute - I found it. It isn't in the article itself but, rather, appears over the name of "Bill," who ascribes the quote to Gov. Lamm (no link, of course)" is he best indictor of your ignorance of the subject.

No matter, I'm here to educate.

So wipe off your glasses and pick the form of the quote you like. Google will give you lots more. Then see if the word 'golly' comes to mind.

Because FDR, for all his faults, wasn't Stalin.

FDR didn't gas the Japanese, only put them into concentration camps.

My friend, you are not only ahead of the time, but ahead of the realizations of many on the board.

In fact, your post may be too subtle.

They don't realize that the strategy is to indocrinate the young, tell them how much smarter they are than their parents.

Here is the Progressive suggestion 100 years ago:
This can be seen in Woodrow Wilson’s speech as president of Princeton: “Our problem is not merely to help students to adjust to themselves to world life…[but] to make them as unlike their fathers as we can.” (Michael McGerr, “A Fierce Discontent: The Rise and Fall of the Progressive Movement in America, 1870-1920,” p. 111

Glad you posted this.

And here is the Obama campaign doing what you hint at:

One of the arms of the DNC is “Organizing for America, the successor organization to Obama for America, is building on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering communities across the country to bring about our agenda of change.” Organizing for America | BarackObama.com | About Organizing for America
A blatant and direct attempt to propagandize children of high school age, too young for marriage, to buy cigarettes or alcohol, is the internship program of ‘Organizing for America.’
“Chuck, has a student in the eleventh grade in an Ohio High School. Her government class passed out this propaganda recruiting paper so students could sign up as interns for Obama's Organizing for America (OFA is the former mybarackobama.com site.)
Obama is using our public school system to recruit for his Alinsky-inspired private army. Organizing for America is (and I quote) recruiting in our high schools to "build on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda" ............of national socialism.”

Who was it who told students to 'go home and kill your parents'?

I'm trying to think of his name.......




Charles Manson?

Nah.......


Oh yea.....

It was Professor William Ayers.
Nice guy.

But I hear he throws a hell of a campaign party. Ask Barry.. he'll tell you.

A Congress and a Senate with no one over the age of 27. A 28 year old President.

Wouldn't that be AWESOME? I mean, like, TOTALLY!
