I’d like to point out my posts were purely tounge in cheek, for anybody taking them seriously, and I actually have a lot of time for older people, and all people come to that.

I’m acutely aware i’ll be old(er) in the future should I be lucky enough to still be alive.

Peace to all. :O)

Bloody good luck to them, they’ve deserved it.

and Parcelforce made me do it, they left my much needed supply of new batteries for my RC planes in the post office.

was just at the post office and they were there again, queueing out of the door

one kindly old man kept letting people in front of him, very nice, except I was behind him

😉

Wouldn’t it be more logical for them to move? Just wonderin’ …

Did you miss the part about them being old? lol

They are allowed out every day because they’ve worked hard (mostly) and paid their debt to society

Though in general they’ve worked considerably less years than somebody starting work today is going to have to. If they’re paid their debt, how come society still has so much of it (which all those people still working will have to pay)? Future pensioners are likely to be rather worse off than current ones are.

Congratulations old people.
You’ve done a wonderful job.
You messed up the environment, you plunged us all into this global economic crisis, gave yourself cheap housing, full employment, free education.
You had a wonderful time.
You sold my generation down the river.
Now you expect me to pick up the pieces of your broken world.
Ha ha ha, you disgust me, old people!

These days when kids get out of university with their degree and their five-figure student load debt, there’s no jobs for them ’cause you old people won’t retire.
You just go on working year after year clogging up the job market. Then you do retire, but you don’t die! Why won’t you die?!

Probably something to do with you typing that in English. And pretty much all the freedoms you take for granted. Paid in full 10 times over.

And the reason we are so flecked up as a country is because the under 40 year olds were sold a lie that we can have it all. Most pensioners will have only ever had a mortgage as debt.

I think he’s confusing “old people” with “politicians and bankers.”

Probably something to do with you typing that in English.

Most, if not all, of the war generation are dead and they are in the minority of those older than 65. The baby-boomers are the ones who have spent our inheritance and seen to it that the generation following mine will be paying back their debts.
