Why are some people 'Rude' to older people?

By

Vegas Bob's Friends

 

I have never understood why some people disrespect older people and why they are 'Rude' to them.

 

When I grew up, my parents always taught me to listen and respect older people and I have done this all my life.

In fact Vegas Bob has learned so much about life from older people.

 

There is a person that I thought I knew, but over the years I have found out how wrong I was.

 

This person who I will call John Doe is always nice and will go out of his way to be kind to people his own age, which is around 36.

When it comes to being nice to older people, it's another story. 

If fact I have witnessed John Doe going out of his way only to be rude with nasty comments to them.

John refrains from being rude to persons of his ethnic group, but older people from other nationalities ...

 

Totally nasty and rude ... ;o(

 

Vegas Bob has asked John why he is so rude to older people, and he can never give me a true answer. He always says ... I am not rude to older people, but VB knows what he sees!

 

Can anyone reading this post please explain to VB why John Doe is so rude to older people, and why he disrespects them?

I personally think that we should be kind to all people, young, old and from all countries around the world

There is no reason for him to be rude to older people! Personally, I love older people. They tell it like it is, they don't pretend to be someone they are not, and they have so much to teach us! John Doe doesn't know what he's missing!

Hello Kim ... I couldn't agree with you more and the stories of life that older people talk about is so interesting 

It could very well be that older people know so much more than John, that he is jealous

Hi Robert, I'm totally an older person fan.  I too grew up with the understanding of respect and appreciation of the elderly's wisdom.  Seems to me that this world is getting so money hungry, entitlement expectant, and ungrateful that unfortunately it is just reflected through their actions.

It's my observation that if you are rude to anyone you likely rude to everyone. I think people don't respect older people like the did a generation ago, but I don't think they pick out older people to be rude to.

We don't need to be rude to the older generation. We will all be there sometime.

Good morning Bob,

Someday he will be in the shoes of the older person and a young whipper snapper will be giving him the one two!

It is too bad it takes us to long to learn we all walk across the earth the same way!

Make yourself a great day.

This character defect I believe comes from him thinking he is SUPERIOR to them, and has gotten away with validating that misperception along the way. In his core he is not a nice person.
