it's probably something to do with crazy old people behind the scenes. and you wanna know why? because old people can't understand the difference between DVDs and CDs. they can't. in fact sometimes they also call CDs tapes which is not even close! and yet they're like WHAAA when I call DVDs "videos" WHICH THEY TECHNICALLY ARE.

Last year I stayed over at my 65 year old uncles house. They had 56K dialup AOL for internet service. I hadn't seen that since 8th grade. I remember them asking me if I knew how to send an e-mail.

Old people are fuckin' dumb.

yeah, some of them really are.

i wonder if they just get dumb because of old age (is the graph of lifetime intelligence something like a bell curve?) or if dumb old people were always really dumb, even as young people (and perhaps dumb people somehow live longer, thus creating the impression that so many old folks are dumb)?

some dumb old asshole was trying to argue with me about her medicare part D paying for her diabetic supplies the other day. and she kept interrupting me after she had asked me questions. i told her i'd be happy to give them a call but she was like "no i'm on the senior bus and it's waiting!!" and i was like wtfever, go fly a kite then. i wanted to kick her in her throat tbh, and part of that is solely because she is old. ageism over here~~

I don't know about your bell curve theory. Cos i was very smart as a small child but i feel to be getting progressively dumber.

I believe you don't get dumber as you get older, however, your ability to adapt and learn new things deminishes. Therefore, knowledge is graphed as a deminishing exponential function with a horizontal asymptote signifying the limit of knowledge, while the rate that knowledge is gained is a linear graph with a negative slope reaching zero at death. While the knowledge of the elderly is higher, the knowledge is somewhat useless because rate is which new knowledge is gained is significantly less then the rate of change in society.

In summary, the world changes and old people can't adapt, so they look dumb.

That was a great post Pointer. I give you top points. We are doing a subject on social developmental psychology and one of our assignments is interviewing a septogenerian/octogenarian. It's amazing to me how with it some of them are, how vibrant and active and aware of the world they can be, against the expectations society places upon them. Ageism is rampant on this board OBVY! Good on you for punching it in the face.

EJ, when I said I wish I could punch an old person in the face I meant Osama Bin Ladin. I misspoke.

I'm only ageist about old people who go into computer game stores and put $30 games on layby when their grandchildren are right there and have the money in their wallets.
