Old people shown little respect by youngsters

Parents don't teach respect
I am 71 now and I'd swear it was only yesterday that I was young, and I had the utmost respect for those older than myself. How very quickly we age....

As an elderly pensioner, I have been aware for the past few years that here in the UK, younger people appear to have little respect for the old folks. I can only assume that their parents have failed to instill such respect in them.

In the last few years I have had far more problems with young women with baby buggies than I have older people with trollies.
Some of them expect to wheel monster buggies along the pavement and in shops, two abreast, never deviating from a straight line and think everyone else should ju...more | Kathleen W |
| 09-3-2010 | lol, Gainsborough lad, shopping trollys?
Only person to ever assult me with a shopping trolly or anywhere in shops for that matter have been the elderly. You know what it's like in supermarkets with 3 people at the front of a trolley rolling road stopping at the same time and blocking everyo...more | chris |
| 18-2-2010 | I really see your point. I am a child in the sixth grade and love my grandparents. I hate it when I see people just having no respect at all. I'm like, ok, they are humans, like us, but have a little respect! They're older than you! I think it is very rude how you are being treated. It'...more | Angel |
| 16-2-2010 | I think the posters who keep banging on about old people having to earn respect are the kind of rude and selfish people who want an excuse for not putting themselves out by showing consideration to those who need it. Look at how offensive "Paul Squire" was to Nikki just because she had a ...more | Kathleen W |
| 16-2-2010 | I work in an area where recently a lot of paedophiles have "disappeared" from the offenders register. Many of these have been out of prison for many years and many are elderly now. This is currently in the news.
Nikki, if you have or plan to have children, would you feel happy opening...more | Noneedforname |
| 06-2-2010 | With them being older, they are not in as much of a position to bite back if faced with any sort of confrontation, ie.. shopping trolly, carpark space, or turn to be served at the bar,
I think a blind eye should be shown sometimes if some of them get a bit annoying, but if it is persistant from ...more | Gainsborough lad. |
| 06-2-2010 | Why on earth just because someones old should they get respect? thats really stupid, the Queenmother was over 100 when she died and I had more respect for a stray dog than I did for that Yellow toothed piss smelling interbred german parasite.
BTW Nikki does that mean you have respect for rapists...more | Paul Squire |
| 06-2-2010 | Oh dear, I'm off for a cup of tea nicci 247. The wit of your response is simply too dazzling! | miserablemoaninggit |
| 05-2-2010 | miserablemoaninggit;'A simple repeat of your argument will not lend it any additional validity.'
I presume that you think yours does ? | nicci247 |
| 04-2-2010 | 'I withdraw from this exchange' I seem to recall, Congo, are the words you last uttered in your posting before last, after our mutual 'personal attack' postings. I'm sure you are as tired with this debate as I. A simple repeat of your argument will not lend it any additional v...more | miserablemoaninggit |
| 04-2-2010 | What a shame, I thought this had been settled but I am once again drawn into this debate.
Simply put, one cannot possibly earn respect because one has managed to survive for a given number of years.
It is axiomatic that civilised people should afford courtesy and consideration to all until ci...more | Congo |
| 04-2-2010 | With the exception of the Kray's - if I am right, then at least 1 of them is dead ... I will automatically give respect to ANY old person. Do you not open a door for an old person? Or if you see them struggling, try and help them? This is just common decency. But it goes further ... frankly...more | Nikki |
