I don't like judging whole groups of people and dismissing them. It isn't fair based on any criteria.
Do you see and feel age prejudice in real life or on this forum? How old are you?
I can't believe it but I am 79.

I'm going to be 61 soon Mrs. Gracie. I don't know why but maybe it's the way I was dragged up. I have unending total respect for people, all of them. Until I sense without a link that they are not genuine. I use my intuition. Always have always will. Most of the time correct. Seldom wrong.
Sometimes I wonder if a sharp answer to a post that is disagreeable to someone might be answered more gently if the recipient's age was known. I wonder? Conversely is it OK for a person of advanced age to speak down to a person who is younger?
I feel no prejudice towards me at all even though I'm Calorically Challenged, Catholic, Live in The Villages or for other reasons that are private. I reject all of that because ultimately what another person feels about me is none of my business, who cares!
Great question. Keep them coming!
