I am irked by the fact that people think Mylot is filled with moms and dads and grandpas and grandmas. So what? what if we are moms and dads and grandparents? Don't we discuss reasonable things? I bet we talk about more sensible things , don't you think so? All I hear from young people is about games and more games. Well this isn't a rant. I am just stating facts from a discussion on another site. What do you think?

There are people young on heart even when they are old. Immature people stay immature all their life. Those who write those posts are immature. We do not need them.

@LadyDuck Hmm.. I would go taht far but I agree with most of what you say. I am a mom ,but I have discussion with my 25 year old son all day whenever he is with me. My 18 year old thinks I am cool , sometimes better than his friends.. You've got to know people first i what I would say.

@Nana49 That is how I would look at it too. I read and respond, I really don't care where a person is from , their age or other personal information. If the discussion is interesting I respond period.

Some people write about things they love. If they're happy, good for them. However, I'm not into games, so avoid those discussions. I have nothing to say.

@DianneN Agreed, But does that make the discussions of moms and dads boring?

@DianneN I don't find discussion about children or parenting boring. I only find those ones about food and nothing else a bit boring.

There is always the generation gap or may I call it the degeneration gap? Increasingly, I have found the younger generation losing interest in interacting with the old. No more grey hair, or no hair, denotes wisdom, but it takes all sorts to make a world and we need them all in myLot too! siva

@Shiva49 Agreed the generation gap is there everywhere. But this is a social interaction site and it pays you for starting interesting discussions and get people talking. My point is if you are on this site interact with eveyone regardless of age or status if their discussion is interesting. It is about the discussion not about the age. .

I think age is not a limitation to start a discussion and keep a lively and interesting conversation. A fluid conversation and beneficial interaction can be established between people of any age, both in real life and in virtual relationships. Particularly I think I can talk to anyone regardless of their age, be it a child, a teenager or a person of the third or fourth age.

I think the age is not a limitation. There are younger people who have expressed consistent opinions that have really impressed me . By the other hand we need the participation of everybody to learn and enjoy.

@sofssu I dont really care about age, you know? the fact is to keep a conversation "alive", so the best we interact the best we have fun.....and of course we earn more
