You were 68 when you joined FR, and like I said, you seem to think that FR is like you, old and cynical, and indifferent.
“You have to consider that many, if not most, FReepers are old, decrepit and simply can no longer be as active as a 20-year-old in his prime.”
Ask yourself, ansel, “Is that true, or not?”
“Some, despite their posts of outright rebellion, are at the point of being too old to care much about what is going to happen tomorrow and do not even know if they are going to be on this Earth tomorrow. I, for example, am 71-years old with multiple health issues.”
Again, ansel, “True, or not?” Are you saying that I am not 71 with ‘multiple’ health issues? What is your point?
Are you saying that FReepers would ‘rise up’ despite their ages? With all of the damage and continual violations of the Constitution that Obemba has already done then why haven’t people already ‘risen up’? Why is he still in office?
“You were 68 when you joined FR, and like I said, you seem to think that FR is like you, old and cynical, and indifferent.”
ASSUME makes an ass out of you and me. You have assumed that I ‘joined’ when I was 68. How long did I lurk? Am I retread? Yes, while I am old I am anything but cynical. Indifferent? Nah, you again are assuming too much about me. I read have 1,000s of posts and formed opinions based upon reading those posts. In addition, daily aches, pains and health concerns trouble most older people so that they have a very difficult time concentrating on the ‘problems of the world’. Until you walk in their shoes, please do not condemn, ok? I am not at the point, yet, that I consider my health issues. I simply put them out of my mind.
With all of the outrage that I read on FR then why have the people not ‘risen up’ already? There are very few conservative activists on FR. Yes, there are a few conservative activists on FR but very few. With as many ‘members’ that FR has, do you think that there should me many more activists who actually go out into the community to make a difference? However, I again say that people’s ages limit their participation. For example, I cannot walk a city block without gasping for air. IF I would try to be active then I would actually be a detriment, wouldn’t I?
Have a nice day, ansel. ;-)
