Flyingfifer, you and your alter ego, mgrlane seem to think that most state pension age people on this forum are of the same view as a few that have replied to your comments. There are 29614 registered on the forum and possibly less than 20 make a comment on what you both have to say. Most older people have carried on with their lives similarly to what you both have claimed to do. Personally, I have no intention of dying at 80 and intend to live until I am 103. So please, don’t knock older people just because they are older. Knock some for being criminals, ex-Prime Ministers or drunks, but not just because they are older.Flyingfifer wrote: ↑Tue May 25, 2021 10:11 am Life is far too short and busy to carry around any sort of animosity imo so worry not about my shoulders, but these thing do tend to appear when one is being pontificated to about how utterly awful, selfish, stupid and or short sighted they are for wanting to live their life instead of shutting it down and doing untold damage to their future by people who have already had their chance at life and now want to eek out a few more years at the expense of my 30 or so.
Your comments against older people are unusual for 30 somethings, I have heard similar comments from 18 year olds who want State Pensions stopped so that the Government can pay their university fees, media courses etc. That’s understandable, as at that age most are not used to paying their own way.
