It’s Come to My Attention

I am to old to be on a social networking site.

This came up on MySpace a few times, but I didn’t expect to see it here. Just how old is to old? At what age to we stop being socially oriented thinking people? Will those that say I’m to old stop posting on social networking sites when they reach that magical age?

Is this just a phenomenon for liberals or can conservatives be to old too?

Just wondering!

    Yep, I’m to old as well.

    Let the sunshine in, my friend.

    Oh the heck with them. You got as much Right as anyone else to voice your opinion. Though we seldom agree…we are not here to pick up people. At least that’s not what I’m here for. This is the blogging section…and you keep voicing your opinion. I love everybody…and enjoy reading the views of everyone. Where I get into trouble is…they expect me to read it and be silent. That just ain’t happening.lol

    And Allah…if people were honest…they’d admit I am showing President Obama much more respect than I ever did at My Space. And though I find myself wanting to go back to calling him some of the names I used to…like Ayatollah, King Hussein and so on…I have not.

    It seems though…to continue using his own words of calling him a Progressive really gets people upset.lol

    Whatever you think of me does not matter…but I’ve had a growing respect for you. We don’t agree often…but I’d die to defend your Right to express yourself.

    If our fingers can still manipulate that keyboard, we are not too old… :groovy:

    I also was told that several times on Myspace. I will admit it has only been by Conservatives. One was just 6 years younger than me, but he was an idiot, so his opinion doesn’t count. I agree with Vic, if the fingers still work….

    Fingers? Keyboard? I got “Dragon” for Christmas so I speak and the computer types. You folks are stuck with me for a while longer. 😉

    There are some cultures in the world where older people are valued and appreciated for their wisdom. Yet in America our culture worships youth above all things and we dispose of our elders as soon as possible.

    In my opinion, you’re never too old to be on a social network. As long as someone is not passing judgment on younger users and telling them to get off their digital lawns, I see nothing wrong with it. Even then, I’m sure there are some social networks that cater to folks like that.

    Let others ignore their elders. Meanwhile I’m taking notes and trying to learn something.

    When I was much younger, I thought older people thought somehow different, “older” thoughts…whatever that is. I now find that my degree of conscious thought is fairly close to the level it was when I was in my early twenties. I think that barring some form of mental disease, the consciousness never ages. It may grow wiser, but never ages.
    Perhaps the person who informed you of this age deficiency was, by their arrogance, too immature to be blogging his/her self.

    When I was 8, I thought 16 was old. When I was 16, I thought 30 was old. When I was 30, I thought 40 was old. Now that I am in my 40’s, I think age doesn’t have much meaning, as long as you are able to get up and do whatever needs doing then your young. I’d say you are the perfect age.

    if you’re eighty seven ..your too old.

    till then.. you coo!

    My daughter once told me I was too old for any of this…..she doesn’t tell me that any more. I set her straight.

    You’re never to old for talking with people weather it be in person or via internet.

  • Joko says:

    Like with lots of stuff in life, I am learning that it is what I make of it. No such thing as being too old for a social networking site until I decide I’m too old for a site… Which will probably when I’m on my deathbed, unable to operate a keyboard or mouse.

  • Metalfan says:

    Too easy, Allah!!!

    you are NEVER too old to socialize. Whether it be on the internet, phone, CB or texting.
    Communication isnt about age.
