Why are "some" old people impossible to debate with?

Just reporting what I have noticed.
And by others and their accounts im not alone.
It's reasonable to state what you notice, & you've done it without offending this geezer.
There are differences between young & old. When I was a young'n (under 30), I was far more
the didactic know-it-all. (I know....even worse back then?) I see young folk here who I know
will be different after accumulating more experience. Some people change more than others,
& perhaps some for the worse. I've no scholarly study handy on the subject...just noticing things.

Yes, I have noticed unreasonable, closed, bigoted and crazy attitudes from the occasional older member


Dont blame me if you fit the OP or are one of the possible members this was directed at.


Like it or not "some" old people, youi cannot teach new tricks. Even when the math, is as simple as 1 + 1 when their minds are made up the answer is 3.


Now my post is directed at old YEC in the world, not just in this forum. So dont take it personal. Wait, since you took it that way and you do have comprehensive issues from my perspective, enjoy. ;)

I notice a difference from my age and say someone in their 20's or 30's

So point taken, and thank you. ;)

We should be able to discuss generalizations about other groups without a thread meltdown.
Remember when I explained why I don't identify as a feminist? Criminy, some tempers sure flared
inappropriately.

The irony here is that I have never known you to engage in debate. When confronted with an argument you toss ad homs at the author rather than deal with the points made. In an actual debate you would have to concede the points, end of story.

Now you are resorting to bigotry, as if an opponents age has something to do with the sad fact that you have no debating skills.

Frubal......... ^^^^^

All you had to do to calm the femmies was to show a pic of yourself in your kilt, FGS. Common sense and diplombob, dibdopla, dipollybl, ..... just common sense! :D

I can't wait till I'm old and retired, I'm only 29 and always working or busy with something.

At 67 I see myself golfing, with a cigar, a tonne of viagara and a convertible. Maybe a cute 45 year old girlfriend. Ahh the golden years.

Close........ I'm close...! :)

I am 65 and my wife is 46 (but very very poorly just now). You can have the golf, cigar and convertible (model boats and cycling for me) but you won't need a tonne of viagara, only about 50mg...... :biglaugh:

However, you know that you mustn't wish away a single day.... not one.

Your no one to judge, you follow an abscure position not supported by anyone other then apologetics, which most disagree with you.


I do dislike those that make unsubstantiated claims from ignorance.


Your biggest problem I see, is comprehensive skills.
