The problem with the majority of society from what I see is it's all COMMON with no decency, and definitely no bloody mirrors.

In some ways, getting old is a handicap (handicap is not a dirty word - it basically means restriction). With the commonly related physical and cognitive health issues people become more vulnerable and sleep becomes much more important to their general physical and phychlogical function and well-being. It isn't complicated and why anyone of any age should be able to get it.

James's lack of consideration for Gary's age has been more disturbing to me than anything Gary has said or done on the show.

I love you class me within the bracket of "young people"

How many times did James say, in the bedroom, I am not going to argue with you Gary, you are older than me and I respect my elders... or did you have hearing disabilities when he said that?

Picking apart? Lol. It's called replying where I come from.

Age is NOT a handicap.

You see Busey is 70, you are therefore looking at a little check list that says by the time you reach 70 you SHOULD have this, that, this, the other, and that, "issue".

Don't make assumptions about how his age affects him. Don't make excuses for him.

There is no need for your patronising manner.. I have never ONCE said handicap is a dirty word, and I am more than capable of understanding what handicap means. I am also more than capable of understanding that you cannot and should not assume someone is handicapped by something, unless they themselves express that opinion and share it. How dare you?

The use of 'in quote' emboldened snippets is a rather unusual replying style.

I disagree. It reminds people of the FACTS.

No it actually adds nothing of worth at all to the discussion to repeat the same things over and over, in fact it would be described as spam and that's against the rules.

As I work in the medical profession I know how age generally affects most people. There are always the exceptions to the rule but most people experience the restrictions (handicap) of age by the time they are 70. And yes I dare to say that because it is fact, not an offencive comment.
