Age 70 being discussed

[flyboyike]

nor does youth entitle you to respect.

I agree, which is why I don't walk around demanding it, unlike some people.

 

[Fubijaakr]

I guess nobody told the kids in Tahrir Square, who sent the octogenarian Mobarak and his decrepit ilk packing.

Are you seriously this moronic? Comparing a political revolution against an historically corrupt government to basic cultural standards?

You really need to polish up your debating skills....or get some.

Ike, Ike, Ike. Having a battle of wits with you is like fighting an unarmed man.

Hike in the mandatory retirement age being discussed?

Unpossible.

"All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again."

And boomers claim that "youngins" have a selfish entitlement complex...

The difference isn't as dramatic as you might think. Much like Mobarak, not only do you expect me to stay under your and your kind's thumb for all eternity, but to like it as well. There is also the similarity that Mobarak is also a pilot, as was the elder (there's that word again) Assad, so....

I agree, it's going to get rammed down our throats, just like age 65 was.

I think you're referring to Hosni Mubarek. But, with your spelling ability its hard to tell...

which people?

 

[flyboyike]

Mobarak or Mubarak, depending on dialect, but definitely not Mubarek. The name roughly translates as "blessed" as in Ramadan Mobarak.

You're not going to beat me in linguistics, so don't even try.

 

[flyboyike]

which people?

People who are "appalled by the lack of reverence for elders around here".

 

[zonejumper]

Yay, finally some respect!!!!

 

[Fubijaakr]

Sorry, typo. Meant Mubarak.

 

[flyboyike]

Sorry, typo. Meant Mubarak.

Then what was the problem with my statement, if we're referring to the same person?

 

[sunlitpath]

60, 65, 70, 75; who cares. Let's feel good and be happy, because everything is going to be Ok.

This is really funny.

Generally speaking, whoever started this thread deserves kudos for the troll. Well played.

Underlyingly, it has also been amusing to see the older guys, using their experience and wisdom, so easily and completely spin the younger guys up simply by playing on the perceived self-worth and impatience inherent in the young.

There is a certain irony in that the young guys don't think they need to learn from the old guys, yet what the old guys know has enabled them to allow the young guys to assist in making their point.

Personally, I don't want someone so volatile and impulsive in command of the plane upon which I am a passenger.

Which is what? (the point, I mean)

Agreed.

I'm also glad someone finally "gets" it. It's easier than shooting fish in a barrel.

Precisely. Thank you.

it has been fun, I doubt 70 is on anyone's scope, but it is such a hot button to get all excited about.

Seems the only ones "excited" are the youngsters who think they have a divine right to the left seat.

Guess what, you can have my seat when I'M ready to retire. Heck, you're making quite a large assumption you can even qualify.

Retire when you want but......Qualify? 90% of us schmucks qualify. You are easily replaceable.
