Full Version: If This Doesn't Appeal To Young Voters
If this picture doesn't prove that John McCain understands the problems and issues that are important to the youngsters under 85, i don't know what will. I mean just look at them. Isn't this proof that McCain isn't a stuffy old rich guy? Fuck obama, john mccain is the fresh faced agent of change.

The younger you are, the more likely you will display your age bias.
And yet, young people accuse older people of being "disconnected",
as if old people have never been young and impulsive and over assuming themselves.
Consider this Jack.
Look at these old people. Consider their thoughts and memories.
Then consider that you did not invent awesome dirty nasty sex!

Please, i don't hate you and you are really old.
Besides, aren't old, white, rich men the causes of most of our problems?
QUOTE

Not so much old people as rich, powerful, warmongering old republicans.
QUOTE

McCain was growing up during the great depression, i'm not sure how much of a youth he had.
QUOTE
Consider their thoughts and memories.
40%-60% of people over 80 show signs of Alzheimer's and memory loss. I'm not sure they have very many memories.

Please, i know about old people sex. I have the internet, don't I?

Not ALL old rich white people. Recall what I said about assumptions?
Not so much old people as rich, powerful, warmongering old republicans.
Again, you're making an assumption. Dangerous because the truth is much more important.
McCain was growing up during the great depression, i'm not sure how much of a youth he had.
My parents grew up through the depression, and they both had a childhood, even though it was different than mine was.
40%-60% of people over 80 show signs of Alzheimer's and memory loss. I'm not sure they have very many memories.
And what aboutthose who do not show memory problems? And even with it, that doesn't change what has been.
Please, i know about old people sex. I have the internet, don't I?
I didn't say old people sex. I was talking about the sex these people had when they were your age.
The kind of sex you didn't invent. In other words, the difference between them and you, is that you don't yet have their depth of experience. Being old is not the problem, nor is it a social crime. I don't fault McCain for his age even in the slightest degree. I fault him because he's what you called a "rich, powerful, warmongering republican."
Yes, that's what you did. You said,
"look at that picture. There's a pair of really old people. How can I possibly relate to that?"

You can't prove i didn't.
QUOTE

Big deal. George Bush is 40 years older than me and i would make a better president than him. Age doesn't always bring wisdom.
QUOTE
And what aboutthose who do not show memory problems?
This is a more serious issue. McCain is at an age where is his risk factors for memory loss are quite high and the fact is, it can come on quite suddenly. Isn't that something of concern? Remember Reagan?
QUOTE

No, of course it isn't but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be.

Being old doesn't make you more likely to be out of touch?
I'd say my message has been received.

No more than being young does!

Ah so you are arguing that you fine folks in the middle understand the most. Strange that you are also a part of that group. I see how it works you crafty bastard

Nope, you assumed again.
Age is not the deciding factor for a lack of connectedness.
On the contrary!
What youth has, and age lacks, is everything the Military looks for and is why old farts don't get drafted,
but do tend to be the leaders.
