You can counter any kind of prejudice by being kind to everyone always.
Here's my current response to Village people who ask me, "YOU own a house here?" (Always said with a look of surprise). My reply is, "No, I own two." And I smile and move on. Unless you are under age 55ish, I can't imagine you can answer the question of age discrimination in TV. You wouldn't be subjected to it. It's like asking a 70 year old white male if he knows what color discrimination feels like. He has zero experience with being discriminated against based on the color of his skin. Prejudice exists in many forms. Sent from my SM-N920R4 using Tapatalk |

After a few years they moved away. Her husband was very glad to get away as living in the community - which was her idea - depressed him; plus older widows were continually knocking on their door to badger him to change a light bulb or whatever for them.

More older people die from automobile accidents than younger people die from automobile accidents BUT
Older people have fewer automobile accidents than youger people. It may be that they don't drive as much or they are more careful, but that is fact. Yet in other forums here in The Villages there is constant harping on old people shouldn't drive.

About appearance...
different cultures... in my old European country (perhaps due to few men because of a lot of historic wars) if you tried flirting with someone’s husband you’d be lucky to get away with a slap in the face from the wife. Predatory people are treated as predators. Usually though, it’s up to the spouse who is being “enticed” to handle it and it is much more effective. The most beautiful and irresistible attribute, in my opinion, is kindness. Physical appearance is interesting, like with a puppy, but you get used to it quickly and then it becomes invisible. |

Young vs. Old: Who are the Safest Drivers? - Good2Go As Velvet said and others. Being kind is more important that starting arguments, being negative and looking down on anyone for being different than us, no matter what the difference is.

That would probably explain why some fora that are specific to the Villages, harp on old people who shouldn't drive. Get a whole bunch of old people together, make everyone who isn't old a significant minority (less than 20%), and you'll probably see a lot of old people doing a lot of stupid things, and very few younger people doing a lot of stupid things. But that's because there just aren't a lot of younger people in that location. |

The biggest thing we notice is people jumping out in front of you from a side street when there is absolutely NOTHING behind you and they could have waited two minutes for you to go by. No commonsense, but they probably never had any commonsense to begin with. One of these days they will jump out in front of someone who has slow reflexes and that will be all she wrote.

Let’s get this thread back to the original topic of age discrimination.

I sincerely feel that we old folks should allow the younger generation to guide us and stop being obstructing to there advice.

Respect always has to be earned, whether by young or old. In my native country the young, particularly university students, were often historically the leaders of change. People listened to them. Because they deserved it.
