Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Ageism much? 70 is not an age where you lose your ability to speak. Look at President Trump for instance..
Enough with inventing isms to get offended by . Have you learned nothing?
They teach about Ageism in Nursing School. Nothing new here Fren.
Ooooh nursing school. I am defeated and convinced.
My friend Jerome went to nursing school. He didn't want to work in a hospital when he graduated, so he worked for a Bio research company taking blood samples from loads of people every day. Later on he worked at an infirmary. One of the jobs was taking blood samples for Aids tests. There happened to be some Bikers there who did not like needles but Jerome was so good at taking blood samples that they barely felt a thing. Jerome quit. Then soon after they called him back up and said the Bikers would only get the blood sample if he did it. So he now gets paid a premium to take blood samples a few days a month. True story.
Quaid can still speak, it’s just that sometimes it seems to take him a little time to think of his next words.
Cool insult, bro. Haha, you’re not one of those equalist commies, are you? Yes, I’m ageist, sexist, racist, realist. People should be equal in rights and born nobility status, but there are profound, observable differences in characteristics and abilities. People slow down with age. Just because it happens at a different rate with Trump doesn’t mean that the trend doesn’t exist.
Why are you arguing with me anyhow when I disagreed with the idea that Quaid had a stroke or has Parkinson’s or something? Do you think he did or does? Would you be willing to admit that the chance of onset of such issues increases with age?
I'm not a Doctor. Id say there is a higher likelihood of an ailment brought on from the Vax. I'm not exactly arguing with you. I just don't think it is healthy to believe that older people are decrepit. You are entitled to your opinion.
stuttering doesn’t equal decrepitude
