How is this mindset different from racism or any other bigoted isms?
This is not a respect your elders post. Nor a get off my lawn.
Young whipper snappers....
It is normal for many, when young to think the old are old fashioned and out of touch. Sometimes they/we are. Ghost is drawing down on anyone older than him. That's a harsh on one's self way to go through life. If this is his real life personna he's alienating himself from a wealth of learning from others. Or he's a fake. Worse yet, a disillusioned bitter boot licker in IRL.
It’s no different than any counter culture movement like the hippies, hip hop, La Razza, generation X and millennials until it gets twisted into a negative.

I was not parsing one post. This seems to be his mindset.
My own "GET OFF MY LAWN!" posts are made with humor as the intent. You point out the counter culture. I hadn't thought of it that way. Arrogance or bitterness was my guess, maybe both. Regardless of why, he's limiting his growth far more than he realizes. If even considered.
and yes
I play the old man card sometimes. As an earnest way to get my point across experience) or to just be silly. Depends on the day and topic. I have never put down the younger in any seriousness.
As I tell my daughters, "Suck it up and be tough." They're past tired of hearing it.

It's OK when we do it, because we drink beer while sitting on a chair on our porch.
There's rules that have to be observed, here.

However, the part I quoted above is an example of you being intellectually dishonest.
I took no bait. I commented on your statement that people should refrain from exercising their right to free speech. I made no comments about the President or his recent policy decisions. That was all you trying to obfuscate my point.
Nuance plays no part in this. It’s a black and white thing in regards to my SPECIFIC point.
Guess I went to the IIF school of debate too.Last edited by jnp; 1/04/2020 11:36am, .Shut the hell up and train.

He ruffles feathers, is uncouth, pats himself on the back and has zero tact. Still, the job is getting done even if I do not like the dude at all. What youngsters forget is Reagan, who he badly mimics, was just as arrogant with more tact and intelligence IMO.
So, IMO, the allies are reacting to their dislike of Trump as a person and not to the FACT, see my timeline above, of Iran’s repeated aggression over the last year or so.

No, I did not.
Unless, you happen to be one of the schmucks running around saying “Trump is a Russian Agent” or “Obama was an Iranian agent”,
At which point you did take the bait, and are a schmuck.
I may be wrong, but I ain’t lying...

In other words, he is having a teenage temper tantrum our kids learned didn’t work at about 10.
This is why I say parsing. If you take his posts as a whole, it isn’t a bigotry based ism it is a defense mechanism.

Regardless, you are clearly a Russian spy because you disagreed with me.
Am I doing this right Ghost?
Where are you, you old hippy dinosaur?
