Why's that different? He can't do anything about his age so why should you discriminate against him watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre?

That's not even slightly the same thing and you know it.

People over 36 (that was your cut-off, wasn't it?) aren't children and should be allowed to make the same choices as any other adult.

So you don't think Beetlejuice's comments are basically ageism? What makes ageism so different to racism? They're both discriminating

I actually wouldn't tbh, i've always said that movies shouldn't have ratings, it should be up to the child/parent of the child to decide whether or not the child is mature enough to see the movie.

You are drawing similarities to a very sensitive topic; racism. Old people aren't denied rights or looked down upon because of who they were born as. It's idiotic to draw such a comparison.

I discriminate between the men's and women's toilets every time I need a pee. It is quite right to think a young lad like Joel shouldn't be anywhere near politics and an older woman like Eileen shouldn't be anywhere near Big Brother.

Actually that's exactly what your buddy Beetlejuice is saying he wants, he wants their rights to go on a TV show to be denied.

If there was a live feed there would debates like this throughout the day that we could all discuss.

I also want anyone below the age of 70 to not be allowed to be a politician.

The housemates this year aren't exactly Einstein but I'm sure even the thickest amongst them would know that mens/womens toilets do not constitute discrimination

[Dollface]

This is the result of BB housemates being boring

To discriminate is to differentiate between things. Is it quite right to recognize the difference between a young person going on BB, which is perfectly natural and an older woman going on it, which is bizarre.
