Young people get a pretty bad press these days. Its not surprising what with knife crime on the increase in london esepcially and school shootings etc in America. Then of course you have the problems with them hanging around on street corners but I think old people can be pretty nasty as well. Not in terms of violence but being bad mannered etc. I was in a supermarket one day and an old woman kept pushing a young girl with her trolley. For no other reason than to get her out of her way. The girl wasnt doing anything wrong. On holiday there were more young people who said "excuse me" than old did. I go on a Jason Statham fanblog and I complained (I wasnt nasty or personal, I just said i didnt think it was very nice)about something a member said about kelly Brook. She then got really personal. Used language like BITE ME (lovely for a 70 year old eh?)Said she didnt want to be attacked whenerver she said something (erm dont be nasty then and Im the one being attacked fir sticking up for someone actually lol)Apparantley Im always perched out on my "houlie than thou limb" waiting for this perosn to make comments. Erm Ive got better things to do. and if being houlier than thou means I think Im a better person, if nicer is better cos i dont slag of 20 yeear olds then yeah I am. I complained about the bite me comment and basically said i dont think its nice to get personal etc. This is what they said "As usual, its poor innocent Donna Marie. It must be difficult to function with that halo around your head. But dont you worry your angelic little head, Im done".
Nice eh? This woman is 70 for Gods sake. She sounds like some silly little teenage girl to me. What annoys me is the fact she says she doesnt want to be attacked when she posts. Who was being nasty? Her.

Unfortunately there's a lot of nasty people out there and of course some of them are young but that's nothing new and the nasty young people get older, which leaves us with nasty old people!!! I know that some older people expect preferential treatment because of their age, and rightly so, for example i have no issue with giving up my seat on the bus to an elderly person, but then there are others who are just plain rude to people for no apparent reason, and it is annoying when people assume you are a nasty person just because you are young, like when you go in a department store and the security guard follows you around as if they expect you to steal something, just because i am young, yet they would ignore an older people, even though they are just as likely if not moreso to be a thief than me!! phew bit of a rant there!!! lol xxx
