Ha not at all it's just a matter of time before the tall trees get cut again, or the other way around. If I didn't like him I would shout at him.
Re: Have you started to worry about your parents?
HoreTore is just parroting a well-known capitalist and he managed to express the sentiment in such a way that it actually sounds offensive.

Hmmm. Some notables on that list that should have just done away with themselves to make room for the "younger and smarter"

I suggest you reread my posts, as this has very little to do with generational progress.all of whom did their best work after the age of 50

The commie is right, simple as that. Wiki-link, but not that badNext you'll be quoting the Gospel of John, right?

Don't you think this has more to do with an increase of prosperity?

Re: Have you started to worry about your parents?
Sure. But that doesn't mean our house-commie is wrong
Re: Have you started to worry about your parents?
"on the shoulders of giants", and all that.
Each successive generation fixes the mistakes made by the previous generation. Proof? Human history shows that we have continually moved towards a more peaceful and just world. We replaced slavery with feudalism, feudalism with limited democracy, limited democracy by universal suffrage, etc.
As such, the most positive side of growing old is the knowledge that you'll soon get out of the way of the younger, smarter generation which will be free to fix the mistakes you made.

Re: Have you started to worry about your parents?
A few numbers on the IQ scale don't prove that our generation is all that smarter. Clearly intelligence does increase, but for a substantial increase, one that is noticable in more forms than just numbers you'll probably need to jump back a few generations.
The reason the previous generation is at a disadvantage, specially when talking about Internet conmen is simply because they grew up with different technology and they find it hard to grasp how to judge right or wrong when using a medium they aren't familiar with. For people of our generation who grew up in the 90s it is easier.

I can empathize with you. I remember my parents grew argumentative and irritable. I think that's something that happens to everyone around 55 or 60. And as far as not caring about being conned is concerned, at times it is simply better to accept a mishap that cannot be undone, rather than fret about it.
The horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.

Every generation snce the beginning of time has been smarter than the last.So at what age do you step aside for the "younger, smarter" generation? 40? 50? 60?As such, the most positive side of growing old is the knowledge that you'll soon get out of the way of the younger, smarter generation which will be free to fix the mistakes you made.
Absolute horse-hockey. We are slowly killing ourselves and our planet with overpopulation, over-use of natural resources, and pollution, precisely because modern society is so disconnected from its nurturing planet, and with each other. I dare say that we'll be hitting the Matrix sometime in the next 4 or 5 generations.....Each successive generation fixes the mistakes made by the previous generation. Proof? Human history shows that we have continually moved towards a more peaceful and just world.
Oh PuuleeeeseThe commie is right, simple as that. Wiki-link, but not that badRepeat something often enough and hope that it's true?

Re: Have you started to worry about your parents?
Ffs Horetore you just made the whole world more stupid just by yourself. Slavery is WAY after the feudal perioid you are confused with fiefdom. And there is absolutily nothing that even remotily resembles democracy after the feudal period.
Re: Have you started to worry about your parents?
So, the organised massacres that took place in the 20th century were an improvement over previous centuries? Why exactly? Because they were better organised and we never managed to kill as many people in such a short time before?
