Should the elderly be banned from public places at peak times?

[HEyHEY]

They get in the way so much.

[Goldeneye]

1. yes, absolutely.

[democracyindanger]

2. No, but they should get their own walking lanes.

[KittyWampus]

3. Will You Vow To Kill Yourself At 65 So We Needn't Worry About You?

[HEyHEY]

11. I already have numerous suicide pacts with many groups

[Democracy Died 2004]

4. No. Maybe we should

send em to the suicide booths ala Logans Run. /sarcasm
Oh boy wierd on DU today.

[Boswells_Johnson]

5. Especially at Christmas time

[hippiechick]

6. I'm thinkin' their drivers licenses should have restricted times

It always like they're out in rush hour traffic presenting an unnecessary hazard for the other drivers - because they don't seem to follow traffic rules and God only knows what they'll do at any moment in time.



:hippie:

[LSparkle]

23. Absolutely!

No retirees on the 405 Freeway from 5P on!

[bobbieinok]

38. only if drivers between the ages of 16 and 25 are restricted as well

restricted times, places

[mcscajun]

42. and while we're at it...let's keep the kids out of the mall on weekends...

...and after school...and any time I want to shop...

...and let's keep all the moms with strollers out of the stores and restaurants, too.

Ban everybody and get the fuck out of MY way.

Sheesh! It's a silly night in here.

[ohiosmith]

7. All the time. They smell funny too.

[Placebo]

8. They shouldn't be given drivers licenses, either.

[JimmyJazz]

9. Did you just recently purchase some new asbestos underwear

that you want to test out? If so, are you going to show them to that girl? :)

[Darth_Kitten]

10. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!

:evilgrin:

And why do they get off the bus FIRST?? Can somebody tell me that? huh? HUH?

I say get motoring granny or EAT MY DUST....... :evilgrin:

[HEyHEY]

14. My beef comes from a recent trip to the post office

Some woman just waddling away slowly up the ail...argh!

[Darth_Kitten]

16. My experience....

it was pouring rain, just pouring, and an annoying but quaint little old lady gets on the bus before and starts thanking the bus driver.

Uh, lady it's pouring rain, we don't have umbrellas and you are holding up the line....

:)

[HEyHEY]

19. You shoulda shoved her into a puddle

That'll learn her!

[Wind Dancer]

20. That would be me!

;-)

[Book Lover]

12. Move around them and shut the fuck up

Or do you plan to kill yourself when you reach a stage of limited mobility?

[HEyHEY]

24. That'll never happen to me I'm invincible!@

[Book Lover]

29. They all say that!

Just you wait sonny boy.... ;-)

[n2mark]

13. When you hit 62 send out the same message.

[roguevalley]

15. God, you are such a bad boy. Sit next to me. Oops. I'm old. I

promise to keep my hands in sight at all times.

:evilgrin:

[cestpaspossible]

17. Didn't you see Logan's Run?

[quiet.american]

18. No. One day we'll be there. n/t

[HEyHEY]

21. But we'll repel that law by then

Then young people can't be in public at peak times.

[quiet.american]

30. :) n/t

[Solly Mack]

22. Just until I become elderly

then the rule changes.


:)

[SOteric]

25. No, no, the young should

They're loud, messy and out of control.

[HEyHEY]

26. You're onto something - how about both?

No one except those between 20-55 to be on the streets at peak periods.

[nutsnberries]

27. may i giggle?

i love old people, really... but just yesterday i was thinking the same thing, HEyHEY.

they get in your way to remind you that life runs in different speeds.

[Blue Diadem]

28. Not necessarily the elderly

Just the people who don't have anywhere else to be. I got behind some woman at Meijer at 5:00 the Wed before Christmas and before a big snow storm. I stood there for 1/2 hr because I don't think she had ever been to the grocery store before. She had different produce in same bag..etc. she bought something other day..different price.
I already had all my heavy stuff on the belt..otherwise I would have moved.
So the people that don't have deadlines...other stuff to do...they should only be able to shop between 10 and 2.

[NV Whino]

31. You need to define "elderly" "public" and "peak"

[HEyHEY]

32. Over 60, I think public is obvious and weekends and 4-5

[NV Whino]

39. Gotta tell ya

one of the coolist ladies I knew was 86, rode a motorcycle and carried her pet ape (small pet ape) along with her. Left me in the dust and I was in my 20s at the time.

On Edit: What you have to look out for is little old men in hats. There is a particular ethnic group, which I won't mention, that adds to that disaster.

[JVS]

33. Aren't they supposed to get those free Rascal scooters to keep them...

moving quickly enough? Where the hell are our tax dollars being pissed away that our wrinklies (my loving term for the elderly) aren't speeding around on those scooters and preventing congestion?

[DemocracyInaction]

34. Well let's put it this way

1. Let Ma and Pa shut the little freaks off from the money. Leave your money to anything but your useless kids and DON'T ever lend them money, bail them out or take care of their snot nose loser kids.

2. Pull your investments out of the stock market, don't purchase anything (like stuff for those useless bastards and their kids) and watch the little freaks scream that they have no employment.

3. Petition the government and pressure it (happened it my state and they were damn close to doing it) to make elderly parents the LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THEIR CHILDREN. That means you float the medical bills, pills and all other bills and your house, income, investments, etc. are all fair game to bill collectors collecting on Ma and Pa. Now that I love. We gave you a free ride. Time you little sweethearts pay the bill. Party Over!!!!!!!!

[HuckleB]

35. The elderly?

You mean like, senior citizens? I dunno. Maybe we need to talk about those senior illegal aliens first. You know. Deal with one problem at a time.

[baldguy]

36. Only those who've become surly conservatives in their old age.

[HuckleB]

37. Stop serving 'em Sanka, and everything will move along just fine.

[Mr.Green93]

40. Depends

[nutsnberries]

41. Depends?

like the disposable undergarments?

If you didn't intend that joke, it's much, much better.
Please tell me you didn't. :+

[miss_kitty]

43. they should at least keep to the right

along with all the other slow people

:)

[mcscajun]

44. And so long as you're more agile and speedier...

...you should have no trouble at all working your way around them.

And later on, You'll be just as annoying to some other youngster.

Everything comes around. And Patience is a life-long lesson to learn.
