I was told to not do this type of post as it is unnecessarily bad mannered to imply that age should not be a large factor in things.
I also did not like that thing Luke Russert said to Nancy Pelosi.

It's only ageist, i've been told, if you speak negatively about older people. Bashing youth is okay, i was told, because of judgement.

I am the resident ageist, i just don't want you to get the same label.
