We will no doubt, while you'll continue to remain a no-class ass the rest of your life.

So if you demand someone kiss your as$, and they refuse, they're the no-class ass?

Good to know.

And some wonder why they are not shown any respect.

In my best Gray Poupon voice I say to you: "but of course."

Meh....some sh'theads survive to old age. Lots of you won't

Isn’t that a meeting of the He Man’s Woman Haters Club? 😳

These responses work both ways, you know.
Show respect, and you generally receive respect.
Be an ass, and you'll be shown an ass.

You are not born with wisdom. You get it by listening to your elders, and others, or about as many, by mistakes.
Your elders, and the others, earned some of their wisdom - by their own mistakes. Such is life.

So old people in prison, should be geniuses.

And how is telling 99% of us that we're sub standard in the maturity and intellect departments a sign of respect?

Winner Winner !!

The internet is poor medium for communication and if I misconstrued your intent apologies. I went back and read it and I have no idea what a yellow-sheeter is so didn't know it was an insult. I don't think Rocky was directing his comment at you but instead at those specific folks on the CF who, if they behaved in person the way they do on-line, would likely end up with repeated trips to the Doc-in-a-box for nose resettings. One of the failings of the software here is that a reply has to be directed at a persons post instead of a general comment. Perhaps a new standard preface of "General comment" could be used to avoid situations like this.

You certainly seem a decent sort and have been around the fire as long as most of us and seen a general decline in decorum. Luckily the other sections are OK, except optics!, and remain civilized with careful use of the ignore function. It's noteworthy too that there seems to be no generational bias. We have polite folks that are of from The silent generation up through Gen Z here and we also have the reverse. Perhaps upbringing or perhaps the nature of the anonymous media the CF platform represents. Hard to say.

On the topic of Yellow Sheeter - we used to use a Navy form called a Yellow Sheet to log flight time before they computerized it and made it worse but Rocky being an USAF puke I suspected that's not what he was talking about.

Just to clarify, I used "sheeter" because the board censor won't let me say someone who still has yellow-filled diapers.

I definitely meant that young people who think they know everything and anyone older than they are is decrepit are fools. Wisdom is a product of experience, and you cannot get experience except over time.

That's it. I'll leave this thread while I can still be civil. (Which is evidence of wisdom, btw.)

They are. If you don't believe me just ask 'em.

I appreciate your response. Incidentally, just after yours, Rocky cleared up what he meant by yellow sheeters.


I would still be interested if you think what you said here (specifically the bolded part, but including all of it generally):


Wouldn't be more appropriately directed to this post:

Thank you.

Old age doesn't guarantee you will be respected or have wisdom nor intelligence.... if it did, Joe Biden would be the best president ever....

A large portion of the older population lose touch with societal evolution, this is due to several factors, such as retirement, limited social interactions etc....

Some are simply out of touch because of financial status.. i.e. they don't have to compete for a dollar to survive etc....

They end up stuck in 50 yr old narratives and so stubborn in their ways you can't tell them any different, hell, they even dismiss their grandkids opinions.

Many are prone to becoming fudds..... some simply weren't sharp crayons to start with...

Then you have the mean ones, they may have always been mean, but when younger they could and had to filter that meanness, they lose the ability to filter as they get older.

The old dog can't learn new tricks is true for most. Me on the computer is a perfect example and average 8 yr old can do it better.

And we can't forget selective memory, and there is always denial...

When dementia creeps in all bets are off the table.....

Now all that being said, some old folks are absolute treasures, wonderful humans full of knowledge and wisdom and kindness.... old age no more guarantees these qualities than does young age.

The sad truth is often old age brings about bad qualities...

Rocky is likely a very nice man, but, I have witnessed him be an azz on several occasions and he has been an azz to dassa in this thread.... and he will likely be an azz to me for writing this.

And that's ok.... just don't demand respect because of your age!!!!

True that.

Probably was some riveting discussions on thermodynamics.

Sorry I missed those.

Evidently you missed these two, the most important, lines.

"Show respect, and you generally receive respect.
Be an ass, and you'll be shown an ass."

Shave your junk with orange juice...
