I hate old people too. But not bc of politics! They're just sort of in the way and stuff.

I don't think we need to kill them or anything. When I'm in charge, I think a really, really big hole would suffice. Just toss them in there and let them mill around while they wait to die.

Being in the way politically is one of their biggest obstructions,

Look at this,
http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/primaries/NH

As age goes up, they vote for Shillary more. The senile group, 65 plus, support Hillary by a large margin!

He doesn't give a shit because he worked his whole life to retire. You are just starting out and don't understand what it means to work your whole life only to have all that you worked for threatened. Put yourself in his shoes (you will be there someday) and you will understand his point of view.

I have worked 20 years. He isn't in danger of losing anything.... That's the biggest issue! The old coot believes everything he hears on faux news!

Maybe if you were nicer to other people, they'd be nice back to you.

He's also a gamergater. I'm seriously wondering if he isn't just a guerrilla marketing plant trying to make Sanders look bad.

Nah, I don't really care about that. Only idiots trusted those sites to begin with.

I don't really buy that. And forget supporting him, why would someone who complains about social justice warriors even consider Sanders?

It's true, I am not a fan of pc culture, but I am not sure how that would disqualify me from supporting Sanders. There are a lot of people I know, and know of, that feel similarly about both.

I think your generalized box of what a Sanders supporter looks like could use some evaluating.

This isn't a troll. I really do dislike old people as a general rule! Not a teen either. I have already paid back my student loans.

Maybe you aren't physically a teen ( older than 19 ). But mentally a teen. You sure act like it anyway.

Why is a dislike of the elderly connected to maturity? I don't bate them because they are old. though there neediness doesn't help. I hate them, because what time has turned them into.

Is a racist also immature? What about a misandrist?

Now get off mah lawn!

Not even kidding, there actually was an old man that used to complain to me about walking on his lawn!

I long time ago I had a job at Walmart, and I used to walk to the store for exercise, and to save money on fuel. Anyways, some old bastard had trees planting right next to the road, so you couldn't walk by. So, I could either walk in the street in a busy intersection, or cut through this old mans yard.

Guess, which I picked?

Well he didn't like that, and stopped me to complain two times. He went on and on about how everyone is cutting through his yard, and it's trampling his grass.

After the third time he tried to flag me down, I just gave him the finger and kept walking.

The old fucker was more worried about blades of grass, than people getting run over in the road!

Obviously he didn't notice some of the top threads of the night...

If that doesn't scream old I dunno what does... lol

taxes, banking and houses make people old? i thought that was just an indicator that people are older than 17

But I was told by Bernie Bros that we must vote in our own best interests...

Do we all vote for our own best interests, or do we all vote for your best interest?

Vote your own best interests, screw ideologies. Don't put stock in dead people.

He is one of the exceptions I mentioned in the op.

Of course you love him. Hi entire campaign is, 'the rich suck! I'm gonna take their money and give you kids free sh*t!' Bernie's the eccentric granddad who runs up his credit card to spoil his grandkids, but has no real clue how he's gonna pay it back. But hey, he probably is gonna die soon, so it's not really his problem. My wife and I saw a bit of his victory speech last night and both had the same opinion; he looked like he could have a heart attack or stroke out at any time.

As for the old guy? It's his property. If he doesn't want you walking on his lawn, that's his prerogative. You doing so against his will is called trespassing. Learn to respect what other people have worked for.

Now toddle off and go enjoy one of your 396 IBU artisanal quad IPAs; recharge your bitter young life.

Let me see. When I was a kid (60s-70s) Lake Erie used to catch fire it was so polluted, Factories could and were spewing anything they wanted to in the air and smog was a common occurance, The Bald Eagle was nearly extinct in the lower 48 because of pesticide pollution, My home state of Michigan hadn't had any sustainable populations of wolves or Moose since before my father was born.

today lake Erie is perfectly safe for swimming, fishing, and as a source of drinking water. Factory emissions are very tightly regulated by the EPA and No one of your generation has ever seen smog here in their lifetime. The Bald Eagle is thriving in the lower 48 and no longer endangered. Michigan has sustainable wolf and moose populations that are Thriving. The wolves are doing so well the wildlife biologists want a hunting season to cull the population a bit.

Don't accuse my generation of destroying the environment. We have saved it and are saving it so your ungrateful ass will be able to enjoy it.

Oh and if you are ever in my neighborhood stay of my damn lawn. I own it I earned it and I sweat in it every week to make it presentable.

This is true. People old enough to remember, forget and people too young to have experienced life before the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act, and the other pollution control laws don't seem to grasp the magnitude of the pollution problem that was. I remember driving through paper mill country in northern Wisconsin and my dad running the windshield wipers to clear the ash. There was a permanent gray snow storm around the mills. My wife talks about going to the Outer Banks as a kid and there were almost no seabirds due mostly to DDT and PCBs. The comeback since the bans has been incredible.

I think field trips to the local waste water treatment plant and landfill ought to be mandatory for all high school kids so they can get some idea of how it is that life here doesn't suck.
