What is it with Old People lately?!

The "woke MOB" believe that just because they are breathing they ARE OWED something/everything from Free Everything to the canceling of their student debt obligations. I'm over sixty years old and PAYED ALL my student debts.

My first BA degree was in biology. Can't do shit with that. Second BScience degree was in Nursing. After a few years I wanted more. So I went for my Masters degree in Nursing and became Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). Old joke - "I passed gas for a living and got paid for it". Made a good (highly stressful) living and took early retirement.

All I can say to the dumber-than-shit woke MOB (they ARE a mob), "you should have chosen a degree you can get paid for". A degree in basket weaving doesn't pay much now does it? A loan is a LOAN and if you can't pay it back, you NEVER should have signed on the dotted line in the first place!!!!

Should have gone to a trade school (welding, heavy equipment operator, etc).

 

True, but being Woke is much more than that.

Woke means that EVERYONE should be accepted as they want to be. No matter how it hurts anyone but themselves.

The original modern Woke movement started with NAMBLA. (look it up) in the 70's. (Fucking pedophiles wanting
everyone forced to "accept" their lifestyle")
It just progressed from there to today, where the Woke crowd thinks it's ok to indoctrinate everyone to their ideology
no matter their age.

Nabisco/Oreos just joined the Woke crowd. Shoving indoctrination down peoples throats, literally!!

 

Got a BS (not a BA) in chemstry and biology and an MS in biolgy. Spent 35 years, until a helicopter crash disabled me, doing research in AZ and AK. Worked with desert bighorn sheep in AZ and Alaska brown bears in AK. The latter screwed my back up while darting a bear from a helicopter and it couldnt run on water, contaminated fuel. I had jobs that most biologist dream of, like wild kingdom. Its all what one puts into one's education and determination to get the job you want. Now 75, part of the "free love" generation and dont feel like anyone owes me anything. Had a GREAT life.

 

A beautiful, simple and real description of life in old age. Many kisses wherever you want.

 

I witnessed it first hand with my father and now experiencing the same myself.

 

AHEM!!

I am in retirement age, some call an "old people", and I feel nothing of your quote" we describe these attitudes as pride, conceit and superiority, when it is only a cry with the desperation of those who know they are weak and dependent, of those who know they are forgotten and despised by the overwhelming speed of a society for which these older people are only people who live in their old glories and memories and who cannot adapt to this new frenetic rhythm."

The OP's post is about why "old people" think they can act rudely and obnoxious without recompense, acting like they are "owed" or
are allow to override basic manners, just because they were able to live long.

A very few have that "I am weak and NEED something for nothing because I am old" attitude. (Not saying some don't, I have clients
like that).

Frenetic rhythm? Yep, there are a lot of new things and gadgets to make life "easier/better/whatever" that I don't even try to
comprehend.
Is it because I can't or too lazy?

NOT AT ALL!

It's because I KNOW i don't NEED, nor DESIRE such things in my life. I am happy with what I have done, but like a lot of old folks,
I am concerned about what the YOUTH are doing to themselves.

We old people have made mistakes, we know this generation will too, it's part of learning. But some of the mistakes being made
by the younger generation who have eschewed the elder's wisdom (though, some are following an elder who seems to lack any wisdom)
and are bent on doing things the "New Way" without regard to the obvious consequences.

But no matter what, the Elder's who act like they are owed something and act like rude jerks in public, need to be handled like
any rude jerk in public, no matter their age.

 

In fact, no. Woke is about attacking everyone that is not as you want them to be. Woke is about attacking the White people, to blame them about everything. And to blame men too.

 

You Heathen!!!


(Actually I am the type to twist them in half first!)

 

You Heathen! You shouldn't be allowed Oreos!!

(Actually I'm the sort to... Leave them in the packet)

 

I'll say we both have a good example ( yes, your description is of the original 'Woke" ) and the basis of the fact that being "woke" is
probably the worst thing for anyone or any company to be.

I just wish those who are "woke" and are self-abasing would just self-abase themselves right out of existence. The woke contribute
nothing good to anyone or anything.

 

Ah, I love a good self-abasement. I'm pretty shit at it tho. Last time I tried, people applauded. APPLAUDED! Like they enjoyed what I was saying! I felt like such a dismal failure. Clearly this is just another thing I'm no good at doing. Maybe I should just give up.

 

Its because society is wrong. There is a BIG problem with society.
Its as if it wanted us to be fitting in their 'perfect model' of what humans are. But by doing that, we forget who we are, what we want, to just 'fit it'

 

That is so correct on many levels.

The extreme right has no concept of reality, the extreme left lives in lala land.

 

I would say the Extreme Right has no concept of Reality, while the Extreme Left just think for the best without understanding that people are not going to turn 'good' just because they wish them to

 

There's even more entitled young people, look at antiwork and antifa people
