Actually Knight2009 people don't become less kind when they age ....the way it really works is if you were kind when you were young...you get more kind, and mellow as you age.......If you were mean when you were young...you get meaner with age....Age really doesn't play in what kind of person you really are
OK...and you're well-known for being a really nice and sweet person too, Djuna
I'm sorry, but attacking me personally is not gonna get you anywhere...I will use the "Ignore" feature, if need be
I have a right to my opinion...you have a right to yours...but you have no right, to silence me, either.
It's called "freedom of speech"...
Oh sweetie, lighten up.
You have to take these things with a grain of salt. Forums are a tough environment and sometimes what is said is not meant to be taken in the way you take it.
The written word doesn't fare too well with certain types of humour.

I deeply apologize, Djuna I am truly sorry for my own very harsh words...I guess I completely misinterpreted what was said, earlier I shouldn't have gotten upset with you as I did <hides head in corner>
Please accept my sincere apology? Can you hopefully forgive me?
ETA: Out of respect, I have also deleted my earlier post, where I had used the strong language due to misreading your earlier comments.
I have found that to be totally untrue. I worked as a grocery store cashiere and the most impatient rude people were usually women 20's to 40's. Older people were more often a pleasure to wait on.
That's why the women were rude! Old folks take forever!
What causes ppl to (tend to) become less kind, as they get older? I'm definitely not saying *all* ppl become meaner with age, just that one thing I have definitely noticed over the years is that as a person ages, the levels of basic kindness in regular interactions with others usually plummets, across the board. Some of the very meanest ppl I've come across, have been in their later years. Why does age tend to make ppl's basic levels of compassion and positive emotional expression of things like love, kindness, and affection, harden and become much more inhibited and repressed?
Weird. I have noticed the opposite. People gain some perspective and stop being as self-involved.
Maybe you are talking about seniors with some of kind of dementia that makes them crotchety and mean?
