Age being critiscised
 

Another rant from me. In a lot of threads recently some posters have been saying 'oh you must all be young' or 'you must be a teenager' if another poster has an opinion. I've been told 'You must be a teenager' more than once just because I think Luke and Bex are genuine. I really don't see what age has got to do with anything. It should not be used against a poster and their opinions. It is very patronizing and offensive,implying that just because someone is a teenager that their opinions are stupid and must be because what age they are! It shouldn't have anything with opinions and I wish people would stop bringing it up.

You must be a teenager. :joker:

Yes, I've noticed this too and I recommend we just don't take what they're (one member in particular who I think we all know) saying seriously. IMO if they aren't mature enough to debate without resorting to quips about other members' age, then that just demonstrates how poor their argument is.

I hate that...
Oh and because I like Stu and Dale It was because of their bodies *Apparently*
It wasn't, I liked them because they were genuinely nice guys..appearance had nothing to do with it..

I hate when people say that I only like Dale and Stuart for their bodies... yeah they are hot! but my god thats not all i would like someone for, they are both really sensitive which i liked and they were both nice guys but then NO girls can only like them for being hot!

Exactly...
:thumbs::wink:

I will take someone on the points they make and not their age. It would be daft to do otherwise.

When someone tries to knock your opinion or side of the argument by introducing an outside factor of your character, i.e. your age, then their side of the argument looses its credibility.

I admit, with age comes wisdom. But opinions/ideas/thoughts shouldn't be so easily dismissed due to their age. Piece it apart for the flaws it has by itself, not the character of the author.

princess your right,its pathetic but don`t worry members who aren`t teens are the minority in this forum

Bless your cotton socks.

I agree, the people who do it are v!le,mardy!!!111

I agree with you. It has nothing to do with age, only maturity level.

Hell, if 25-year-olds are telling you that you're young by responding like this "HaHaHa u must b vry yung" then that shows that: A.) They did not get a proper education at school. B.)They're worse than whoever they're insulting by insulting them using internet slang and typing like a 5-year-old.

I heard that people thought I was about 5 years older than I actually was when I joined and didn't say my age, so it just goes to show you that age doesn't matter. It's maturity that matters. And in your case, you can believe in Luke and Bex however much you want, they're immature for putting you down and blaming it on your age for believing in them.

awww

Just ignore them.

Basically if you are younger than them and you are in the right, then they may pick on your younger age and say that you are incorrect because you are too young to understand the opinons of an older and wiser member, that is total rubbish! whether you are 13 or 93 or somewhere inbetween, where I fall :tongue: it makes no difference.

People are ageist and ageism should be treated as seriously as any other prejudice. it just isn't right!

You are either, too young, too old, never just a person posting their opinion (whether educated or uneducated) it shouldn't matter, but to many they will pick on that and get away with it.

Couldn't agree more, you've said exactly how i feel :thumbs:

tsk...tsk..tsk

i dont see anyone complaining when people get insulted of being brainless and MORE serius insults "than you must be a teenager"
to rachel,kat or rex fans! ;)

plus......put back all the thread when luke&bex were still in the house...you'd see that you lot are the ones who makes insults to people!
they get away with it!
now that those snakes are gone...you play like a little victim!

no wonder why you support those snakes! ;)

plus...you make it sound like everyone is saying that to you.....
which only seem like 6% of the members here!
i remember when angiebabe said someone has made her a racist comment....what...she wasnt goin on about it like big time!
and for that racist comment..am guesing was made when she was giving her opinion.....shows.. those who makes such terrible comment..have a poor side of arguement!

How come when I made an anti-ageism post everyone called me an idiot?

Lol!

i kno
i noticed

Because people have there faves and the OP is female... Its a shame so many members have left.

So only women should be against ageism? I don't see why it matters what gender the person is.

You talk actual rubbish sometimes. You go on and on and on, and your in no place to discuss anyone giving opinions, as your brain capacity only seems to manage "o.O" "xD" etc.

Please do not be offensive towards other members on TiBB: it is not tolerated, and next time a warning may be issued.
