Let's think about it, the older you are, the more bad stuff you have done in your life. A typical pensioner will quite likely have had tens of thousand more nasty thoughts than a typical teenager and therefore deserve to be treated with more caution.
I think all pensioners should be kept at arms length, preferably at the end of a big pointy stick, as who knows what evil lurks behind their blue rinse and bifocals. Personally, I would ban them from owning knitting needles >:(
We all get old....including you.....let's see how you feel about it when you are a pensioner
I completely disagree! Respect should be automatically given until the person does something to destroy it. How can you have the attitude that no one you meet is worthy of respect unless they do something to deserve it?

How do you know i'm not? For all you know I might be sharpening a knitting needle as I speak just waiting for the postman to put his fingers through the letterbox

Well, Gary's life has been 50x more interesting than Dee's.
He's just an easy target these days unfortunately.
If it walks like a duck and quakes like a duck it's a duck She is just saying wha she is seeing I don't watch violent films so I don't no Gary dee might be the same or she may not have grown up with a TV in her house Gary does come across as if he is not on the same planet as everyone else but I think it's how he plays it to be honest he is acting out

Sorry respect needs to be earned that does not mean you disrespect every one you meet till thy earn it you can be polite and curious Respect is something that takes time to accomplish
Now that's just plain sexism...it's 2014 and I'm sure that by now old people's homes are jammed full of men with blue rinses knitting a new Man Utd top for their grandchildren ;-)
Ahhh so that's what they're doing under their blankets.
Only joking, I know they're knitting really.
Personally I do believe that your elders should be respected unless they have done something so absolutely terrible they truly don't deserve it. Two elderly ladies in my town have just reached the fantastic ages of 107 and 110 and both live in care homes. I must admit it's easy to see them as just frail and old. But both have actually had the most amazing lives and careers. And this is probably true for a lot of the older generation, but when faculties start to diminish and old age takes its toll on the body and mind it's so easy to become labelled as 'difficult' and 'cantankerous'.
I've seen lots of instances of old folk 'misbehaving' including two other old ladies in a care home squaring up to each other with their zimmer frames, hitting each other whilst accusing each other of all sorts, while an elderly gent was absolutely atrocious to his visitors. Yet folk still visited them because at the end of the day they knew it wasn't really 'them' and they considered they still deserved respect for who they once were.

UPDATE: yeah I got the bugger good this morning....that'll teach him for trying to force my delivery of incontinence pads through the letter box instead of knocking.......nothing worse than a crumple up yer nether regions

You get them delivered You should go to Superdrug it's buy one get one free
I would encourage my sons to be respectful to all people and make extra allowances for elder people but NOT respect them regardless of them being a ignorant loud mouth yank.
This is what warms me to Kellie she does not pick on soft targets like Gary, Kellie is not a bully.
I agree also Kellie is quite right about what she said about the poisoned dwarf he does spout all that bullshit too cover his tracks, he smiles sweetly I love you as he sticks the knife in. I loath Lesley.
I can safely say that I am one of the elders of this forum, I give everybody respect until they show me they don't deserve it. So you could say people should earn respect not demand it as a right because of their age.
I hate that saying as it's complete crap. It means you have no respect for anyone until they have earned it which is stupid. When you first meet someone you talk to them and treat them with respect. You should give everyone respect. It's for them to lose it not earn it.
Thank you for saying this. I was beginning to think I was the only person who thought this any more. You should treat everyone you meet with respect. If they prove to be not deserving then of course they will lose it.

That is really quite sad that you feel that way.

Kellie isn't even Kellie, that's frank and that is an aggressive bully
What are you watching?
I agree also Kellie is quite right about what she said about the poisoned dwarf he does spout all that bullshit too cover his tracks, he smiles sweetly I love you as he sticks the knife in. I loath Lesley.
I think he is too, sometimes but I still think he's brilliant and one of my all time fave HMs
It's his own fault for being such a nasty troublemaker.
Not always, i respect any of the elderly people i talk to.
Upbringing I guess?
Sure am, next month I will be 68 and proud of it.
