60 this year...been semi retired ten years (work part time) - can't be doing with politics, or much of anything i can't change.
My day basically revolves round whether I can go out and play golf or bowls (or both), watching Chelsea, laughing at Spurs, and seeing my Grandsons grow up...life's too short
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What a beautiful place of privilege you live in.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Certainly do...& I don't take it for granted...but feel i've earned it

But two things do differ, your body, it's inescapable that as you age things don't work as well. But the compensation is, that you are not going to work.
-------------------
yeah your generation got extremely lucky with the whole retirement thing, ours, not so much.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
i didnt realise sponging off your parents and spending 24 hours a day in their basement would make a huge difference to you when it comes to retirement
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You were a milk man mate, youll be working when you're dead.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yep.. i was a milkman for all of 6 months... made a huge difference to my life... only got me a 15k a year pay rise
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Were you on 3k a year previously?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
its what happens when youre good at what you do but get bored... people come looking for you and offer you a fortune to join them... not that you'd ever know
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortune
mate people who earn big money dont work as milkmen, ever.
stop them lies.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Milkmen we’re paid far more than I was when I first started working and let’s just say I can keep the wolf from the door.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
if you own your own franchise you can earn between 45-50k a year doing it... hours werent for me though
I have often wondered why this younger generation have this warped view on Patriotism as if it is a dirty word.
Hope to retire at 60/61, mortgage will be paid in 5 years so that's done at 52 then I have one sole aim to quit the rat race by the aforementioned age.
Working until 70 etc is not for me but if folk want to then more power to them

You are doing the same thing the OP is moan about.
An article about stereotyping old men has become an article about old men stereotyping young people.
IMO, older people are the ones that have a strange outdated take on patriotism, and many other topics, and also lower self awareness levels.
Sorry, what....could you repeat the question and has anyone seen my glasses?
Kiddin OP, am 58 in May going on 28 and get the ageist stuff here sometime, but hey ho, youth is wasted on the young, lol.

Furthermore, commitment to imaginary lies on a map is a bit stupid, very slowly going out of fashion and starting to look like a ridiculous concept.
It was useful until a certain point but its outlived its usefulness to the human race and 5s looking more and more like an impediment than a benefit to global success and prosperity.
When compared to the concept of the oneness of the human race, and when you consider that the world is now a small village where people are rushing from one side to the other and all over then patriotism can be argued to be a thick as fack concept.
Its also futile. When pandemics strike they no longer recognise borders. The black plague never left Europe. It was a different world where patriotism meant a lot more than it does now. If the plague happened today the whole world would be facked because we are now a village, uniformly impacted in every country by even by financial crises.
I could go on but I guess my point is that patriotism being a dirty word isn't exactly an absurd concept. In fact, patriotism is stupid, humanity just hasn't realised that fact yet.
I will admit I see overly patriotic people as being the more stupid people in society, the kind who score less in IQ tests etc, helping to hold humanity back from greater things.

True, but overall you can't ignore the existence of trends and probability. Older people are more likely to hold certain beliefs whereas younger people are more likely to hold other beliefs.
That doesn't mean that people should jump to conclusions because at the same time you must remember that probabilities and likelihoods are never absolute and so everyone must be judged on their own, never as part of a group.

Its just probabilty, I know you are not in that box SoQ.
For example, if you look at polls about certain issues there are often strong trends established according to age groups but doesn't mean everyone in a specific age group polled the same way. That's the kind of thing I'm referring to.

I patriotism is loving the country you were born in ,I see nothing wrong in it.
Using it to fight with or denigate other people is wrong imo.
I have genrally found that people who have a view of the world that only a few others share, who believe the majority are too stupid to understand have a much lower IQ than the rest, and have an itellectual arrogance that is based on nearly nothing.
Still, none of it's my roblem, as old age part 2 will show;

Furthermore, commitment to imaginary lies on a map is a bit stupid, very slowly going out of fashion and starting to look like a ridiculous concept.
It was useful until a certain point but its outlived its usefulness to the human race and 5s looking more and more like an impediment than a benefit to global success and prosperity.
When compared to the concept of the oneness of the human race, and when you consider that the world is now a small village where people are rushing from one side to the other and all over then patriotism can be argued to be a thick as fack concept.
Its also futile. When pandemics strike they no longer recognise borders. The black plague never left Europe. It was a different world where patriotism meant a lot more than it does now. If the plague happened today the whole world would be facked because we are now a village, uniformly impacted in every country by even by financial crises.
I could go on but I guess my point is that patriotism being a dirty word isn't exactly an absurd concept. In fact, patriotism is stupid, humanity just hasn't realised that fact yet.
I will admit I see overly patriotic people as being the more stupid people in society, the kind who score less in IQ tests etc, helping to hold humanity back from greater things.

I have often wondered why this younger generation have this warped view on Patriotism as if it is a dirty word.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are doing the same thing the OP is moan about.
An article about stereotyping old men has become an article about old men stereotyping young people.
IMO, older people are the ones that have a strange outdated take on patriotism, and many other topics, and also lower self awareness levels.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Imo you are wrong, Older people have different viewpoints from each other, the same as the young.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly. But you are dealing with Mamba here who is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

True, but overall you can't ignore the existence of trends and probability. Older people are more likely to hold certain beliefs whereas younger people are more likely to hold other beliefs.
That doesn't mean that people should jump to conclusions because at the same time you must remember that probabilities and likelihoods are never absolute and so everyone must be judged on their own, never as part of a group.

yeah your generation got extremely lucky with the whole retirement thing, ours, not so much.
-----------------------
The older generation all started work at fithteen and put in their fivty years,today many youngsters start employment in their twenties, full of education but lacking common sense.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah your generation also got a much better quality of life, so ya know swings and roundabouts.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Spoken like someone with few short years of knowledge and experience in comparison and a "modern" take on reality.
In other words, utter piiissh.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah cheap housing, cheap food, cheap everything.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I rest my case
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, record unemployment, record interest rates and strikes every other week.
Life was a doddle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And Margaret bloody Thatcher.

Its just probabilty, I know you are not in that box SoQ.
For example, if you look at polls about certain issues there are often strong trends established according to age groups but doesn't mean everyone in a specific age group polled the same way. That's the kind of thing I'm referring to.

Furthermore, commitment to imaginary lies on a map is a bit stupid, very slowly going out of fashion and starting to look like a ridiculous concept.
It was useful until a certain point but its outlived its usefulness to the human race and 5s looking more and more like an impediment than a benefit to global success and prosperity.
When compared to the concept of the oneness of the human race, and when you consider that the world is now a small village where people are rushing from one side to the other and all over then patriotism can be argued to be a thick as fack concept.
Its also futile. When pandemics strike they no longer recognise borders. The black plague never left Europe. It was a different world where patriotism meant a lot more than it does now. If the plague happened today the whole world would be facked because we are now a village, uniformly impacted in every country by even by financial crises.
I could go on but I guess my point is that patriotism being a dirty word isn't exactly an absurd concept. In fact, patriotism is stupid, humanity just hasn't realised that fact yet.
I will admit I see overly patriotic people as being the more stupid people in society, the kind who score less in IQ tests etc, helping to hold humanity back from greater things.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You could go on, and do go on in fact.
I patriotism is loving the country you were born in ,I see nothing wrong in it.
Using it to fight with or denigate other people is wrong imo.
I have genrally found that people who have a view of the world that only a few others share, who believe the majority are too stupid to understand have a much lower IQ than the rest, and have an itellectual arrogance that is based on nearly nothing.
Still, none of it's my roblem, as old age part 2 will show;
