Ageism

[Joanthecutey]

and adults in there middle ages tend to always have this thing to insult BOTH the elderly AND teenagers by calling teenagers "children" and by calling the elderly "old farts"

ageist insults never stop.

it's like calling a black person a nigger or a white person a cracker.

[SergentSpain]

@Joanthecutey how true this does happen allot.

people try to make teenagers look younger than they are by calling teenagers "children" or "babies."

people try to make elders look older than they are by calling them "dead people" or "fossils"

they all sound like ageist inults to both the old and young to me.

[Joanthecutey]

ageism against young people needs to be stopped too,

people should stop looking down at young people the way they should stop looking down at black people

besides, sometimes an elderly person can be the punky trouble maker who knows nothing

and a teenager can be a the mature goody toe shoes who knows it all.

everyone of all ages are diffrent

[Simbelmyne13]

Have you considered the other side as well? Older people are often discriminated against on account of their age, since this is a very youth-centric society.

[FirstBookOfMike]

Well "Prof" here's the OTHER SIDE.

I agree with you, Mike, even though you could've posted the whole URL and saved us all a lot of time.

Now, how about a video with pictures of teenagers, "criminal" "stoner" "lazy"... That would be my point.

[BlueZephyrTG]

I rated this video 5 stars because it's so true. I'm 19 and wouldn't dream of shoplifting, but the amount of times I've been followed around shops and searched by the police is disgusting. This ageism is definitely just as bad as racism and sexism.

[koolkyle2123]

some people think that kids dont have rights

[CawFanMan]

Shop owners have ejected my friends and myself from several stores on numerous occations just on account of our age. Im 17, but dose that make my money unspendable before 4:30, dose it make me lees of an american....or LESS OF A HUMAN. Were all just human, but all my life I've been deprived of rights its a damn shame

[abdishtar]

Wow...funny! True though, I am a constant victom of ageism, I look young for my age and am a constant victom of it.

[ChilledoutGuitarman]

holy crap dude! you were used as an example in ageism in my sociology lesson!

[dizzythegreat]

What? Like a prof. used my video?

[ChilledoutGuitarman]

yeah, my prof had this video saved on his laptop, he used it to show examples of ageism. it was awesome!

[dizzythegreat]

Thanks, prof!

[woofiegrrl]

Hmm. Well, you have great points. I just wish you'd spent more time on the other things you mentioned; most of the video is about driving. I liked your points about suspicious shop owners, etc. Maybe expand the video to talk more about that?

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Ageism affects more than we know; you can't vote, drink, etc, based on a generalization by people who don't know you. It's complete bullshit.

[alinkyng]

:22 i was kicked out of a gas station because of my age, i hadn't even done anyhting yet, i just walked in and the guy was like, ur not welcome here, go!

[SannyBabz]

ur hot =)

[cutmylipskissme]

you present a serious issue in a most hilarious way. i love it!

[nicholasflamel7]

0:06-0:09 he looks like count olaf, from a series of unfortunet events

[soloboy1991]

REALLY GOOD VIDEO.. i know what you are talking about... know why?cuz people are way to retarded and ignorant.

[investortownhall]

Every 55 year old 60's & 70's ex-long hair and ex-vietnam war protester baby boomer who owned a VW bug like me can relate to you!

[slider2641]

Cops arrest teenagers for status offenses, victimless crimes, and technical violations. Then, they make it look like teenagers are irresponsible criminals.

You should join the National Youth Rights Association. They strongly oppose ageism.

[Adeliziax]

What's that got to do with ageism ?

Perhaps it's more poncey-poseurism.

[ismokereefer]

lol this video is awesome. machetied 53 people thats awesome lol. Thanks for speaking the truth dude.

[Tangerinez77]

I like that posted this! I firmly believe that in your 20's that your are not taken serious! Ageism...Discrimination. all should be equal in general terms.

[qalaliyow]

so true.

[Bombardedwithpain]

Hmm I forgot to blink..

Nice!

[SimonSaysBMG]

Ageism issue or extreme dislike of police? Was kind of hard to tell for me.

[eggory]

aside from the cappucino remark i think it was mostly ageism. good work spread the word

[wolfrolf]

so: let your hair grow more,please.

[dizzythegreat]

i am :D!

[wolfrolf]

great idea! :)

[dexarouskies]

Hey, that sort of thing happened to me too when I was 18. It's definitely not fair. My friends and I were kicked out of a pizza place where our crime was being teenagers, but there were lots of examples, and lots of being stopped by the police, and now i'm the same person, but they don't pull me over. But enjoy your youth, and try not think of these unfair things.

[dizzythegreat]

it's really great to see "old" people remembering the fact that THEY were once our age. Thank you for not glaring at me. :)

[dexarouskies]

No problem. You are the hope for the future.. the next generation... that will shape our society and lead us to wherever we need to be led.
