Re: The Zimmers "My Generation"

Of course people will have fun in many different ways as they get older, the point of the Zimmers video is to highlight the lack of opportunity for many people who have retired to have fun in their lives. The fact that pensioners are treated worse in the UK than in most of the EEC is but one of a myriad of issues here.

i work in a nursing home and we have a lady who is 107 and still knows how to have fun no point in wasting your life have fun till the end

You have no idea do you? If ones reply seems to state. Do you even get it in your morbid state?

Kind of sad that people are making such a big "age" issue out of this. A group of elderly people having fun, and embracing new technology, rather than rotting at home/in a nursing facility being bitter and longing for the past - they should be applauded. They have the ability to laugh at the stereotypes associated with their age. Good work.

Thank you for illustrating my point so beautifully.

"i hope i die before I get old"

it means
I hope that when the time comes that I am no longer able to do young at heart things, that I would already have died, even of old age.

As though one has a choice to make of in fact being say only 27, bored and resentful, etc., and never having lived.

Hm, not always, "sw1g". Some people grow old without really experiencing life at all, while some people experience more in their youth than others do in an entire lifetime... If this weren't true, how would we explain all the people that grow old with the inability to empathize with fellow human beings?

I agree though, that talent does not depend on age.

I agree, but respect is a two way street. Elderly people need to respect the youth of today, just as much as youth need to respect their elders.

Most old people are just young people who hung out for a long time!

I LOVE THOSE PEOPLE! KEEP ON ROCKIN!!!
