  • You’ve side stepped the point I was making yet again to argue something else, but I’ll indulge in this one last time.

    Ageism already exists in the system and we don’t have an issue with it. It’s just okay to be ageist against young people.

    I personally don’t agree with this at all.

    Your disagreement doesn’t change laws on the books.

    My idea is when one generation gets older that they kind of become the assistants of the next generation coming up behind them, and then we just repeat that cycle every generation.

    That can never happen when the previous generation is unwilling to let go of the reigns and are determined to die in office of at all possible.

    Ageism at any age is wrong, but I’ve seen it practiced a lot more against older people that I have against younger people (especially online), hence my initial comment.

    Ok, well I’m talking about what happens in the real world, not people screaming into the void online. Whether or not you hear more about it towards the older gen online, the real world is ageist against younger generations all the time.

    I don’t give a wet shit about online people arguing when there’s objective reality to look at for real examples. Good day.

    We say younger people are not mature enough for certain tasks, but I know plenty of kids who are younger than the required age but able to understand and perform the same tasks. Does that mean we should let 12 year olds have drivers licenses? Are we just going to ignore these kids because they haven’t met a specific age criteria? Or are we going to say that as a rule, they don’t have the mental capacity to have that privilege/responsibility.

    We already have rails in place for older people to have their driving privileges taken away, at the very minimum there should be one for government work. You keep saying this is ‘throwing away’ older people, when in reality, this is removing people before they do not have the capacity to do it themselves. No one is saying they can’t advise, but they absolutely should not be steering the future of this country. Because that’s how we get to where we are now.
