I can see age discrimination between ....say age 30 and age 80, but strange to see it between age 50 and age 80. You would be surprised how quickly time flies from age 50 to 80. You blink your eye and you are 80 (if you live). I always thought that old people discriminating against other old people was a little strange. I imagine that when you are 80 that you won't like to discriminate against yourself. People are so quick to disparage those that are different than themselves. No wonder there are wars in this world.
