They call them YOU whoever they are.

I see in their eyes I am a failure whenever my grandma calls she makes the joke "did I wake you up" when it is like 2pm in the afternoon...

What do you mean?

Most people I know respect their own grandparents but fucking hate other old people. Most old people I meet on the street are rude cunts or fucking terrible drivers.

>White people unironically put their parents in retirement homes so they can get rid of them

Because they are annoying bastards.

Life gets to busy for anyone to take care of their parents it's sad but true my grandpa was put in one and the workers are horrible :(

moor blood

This is similar for me.

Western elderly do not deserve respect. They all belong to the generation that introduced counter-culture, multiculturalism and progressive disease. They should be free game to be killed and robbed at will.

But we do. All the economy is set up towards feeding their pensions.

>Life gets to busy for anyone to take care of their parents it's sad but true
no it's not

you're just looking for excuses, because letting your old mother live in your house would be sooo unconfortable and you can't have that.

What happens when you have work through the day my grandpa couldn't even get out of bed without help he would literally piss and shit the bed and sit it in for hours if he stayed home.

He meant that, mainly in English there is only one word (you) to describe the person right in front of you, though this seems a little off topic.

Get a maid.

Stop working through the day.

What do you need so much money for anyway?

did you get diddled by your grandpa or something?

>tfw no grandparents alive

Because in the capitalistic consumerist and jewish society we live in there is no time to stop, you've always gotta make money or you're gonna fall behind, fall too much and you end up in the dirt, old people are usualy relics of the past that spout uneducated opinions on shit they don't know and use the state's money to fund their pension while contributing nothing and occupying space and using resources that are ever dwindling. It's true that not all old people are like that and not every country in hte West treats their elderly like that but what I just said represents what usualy happens.

Eh I was only 14 when he died I had no choice in the matter hopefully I can do better by my mum.

Our elderly, unlike Western elderly, built the economy of our countries rather than live off the accomplishments of their parents and inviting Arabs into their cunts.

The ones who will really be fucked good by old people are you young shits who will have to support the pensions of an elderly generation twice your size. Have fun :^)

>people think you can feasibly take care of a dementia ridden 80 year old

it's better to have a professional take care of them and visit than have them be a burden on yourself and potentially do something wrong

Because they kick their kids out when they turn 18

How about mom, dad, uncle , aunt , Mr, Mz, Ms, Mrs, sir, mam, madam, etc.?

They really don't though well mainly in America that happens I think but I could be a loser for the rest of my life and my mum will never kick me out.

A good amount of the WW2 and Korean generation are still around desu. My Grandfather died last year at 90.

We don't usually get physically kicked out but society views you as a fucking loser.

To be a person that old in America, and see what the country has become, is a worse fate than dying young

I don't disrespect them but I avoid them at all costs because I'm a failure NEET too ashamed to face them.

This to be honest sometimes I wish I was born when my parents were but seeing what is happening now and what life is like now sucks.

Old people are literally dumb as shit and don't deserve respect just for being old.

>collectively fucked up the world, introduced multi-ethnic society and sparked a wave of feminism that grew out of proportion
>can't comprehend how you don't have a car, family and house at age 20 with a job as a metalworker in your local factory
>keep talking about how you're getting dumber by sitting in front of the pc, while you're actually sitting and writing your thesis in microbiology
>constantly complain about how you don't have the same skills in /diy/ shit and how you're not outside all the fucking time hanging with friends every single day
>sold all their shit that you were to inherit just so they could have a bunch of cash in pension

It's like it's only your fault and they don't realize it's actually just society and it's inner workings changing.
>"When I was 14 I got a job for the local dairy factory and drove this truck around ya'see. I had to work so hard and lift all these metal jugs. How come you aren't working hard? You're already 20, you're getting too old!"

It's a society thing. Unless you are in college or paying half the bills you are seen as a loser

That's true of a lot of countries. As yours develops more it will happen the're as well. You will be an old man watching it decay after the peak.

correct

Not to mention that my grandmother beat and abused my mom and her siblings. Guess who didn't show up for her funeral.

>projecting his gramp faggottry
be edgy elsewere

>tfw 25 ans, still live with my parents and save ~80% of what I earn

I should invest some of it before inflation eats up a bigger portion but I keep forgetting.

One day son one day
You will be old and your kids won't give a shit about you

t. mama's bambino

that's because you where the ugliest grandchild and even he has some molestation standards, Kelsey...

Old people aren't respected because for the most part they aren't wise, but are instead out of touch with the modern reality.
they are also pro-commie

westerners don't respect anything

>implying I'll have kids
>implying I won't have shot myself before I grow old

To be fair, I'm not fucking stupid. I'm from a dystopian family, and we don't have strong family bonds in the west to begin with, so that says a lot. Can't say how I'll be in the future. but at most I'll still complain about shitskins and our socialist government being too generous.

Old people in the West are massive cunts. They treat people like shit and expect to be treated kindly in return because of their age. Where I live it's not unusual to see old people doing shit like threatening/insulting people or kicking your dogs/cats for getting close to them.

They don't fit in with the modern world and instead of adapting they take their anger out on everyone else. All the old people I've met from places like Japan and India are always based as fuck though.

many languages (greek and japanese included) have more than one forms of addressing someone.

In greek, when you address older people or strangers or when just talking formally you use plural. There are 2 types of (You)s, one is for a single person and/or close friend, and the other is for multiple people and/or showing respect

We have the same in Norwegian, but nobody uses it anymore.

That is absolutely terrible. I could not imagine not showing up when I said I would to my grandfather.

btw all you faggots with daddy issues will have the chance (on average) to personally whipe their asses and spoon feed them twice a day for over a decade.

the post in question is an old man trying to guilt his grandchildren into coming to dinner. He obviously does something wrong if only one showed up, and this one is bitter and pathetic enought to expose his grandfather and offend his siblings on the internet.

Yeah, only our royals and very old people still use the "polite" way of addressing people

>He obviously does something wrong if only one showed up
From what I see in western media, it is more that they are just so individualistic they do not care about anyone but themselves.

Old Irish people are, by and large, great.

They're openly anti-immigration and will say things like, "I'm sorry if it's not PC, but you can't really trust foreigners."

They also understand politics and economics far better than young people, because they grew up with the newspaper and four channels on television, rather than le big bong theory or the Kardashians or whatever.

The women are also very kind and motherly.

>he blogposted about his own family issues and now uses a strawman

that's a bullshit generalization in line with russian propaganda. People everywhere care about their parents, it's a biological thing not a trend or a tradition.

>projecting THIS hard
from my experience people who usually complain about this shit are generally failures in life and need a scapegoat

we uses the 3rd feminine person lei, the 3rd plural person is outdated, someone still use it in some rural area

I sometimes wish to return to Ireland or that my ancestors didn't leave but my ancestors are from England, Scotland and Ireland so they all had to come to Aus for me to be born funny how life works.

They don't know about appreciate.

>that's a bullshit generalization
Are you sure?

>People everywhere care about their parents
So why are so many so neglectful of their parents and grandparents?

i cant wait for my grandparents to die

Have you ever seen the inside of a retirement home ?

Even a sane individual would turn crazy.
This kind of place make people fade very fast.

The old people in my family deserve to be put on retirement homes, they cant stop telling how im 20 and how won a war at my age and how they had a house a wife and a kid with at that time they cant understand that its not so easy since this isnt the 50's anymore there's no fucking fascist party to babysit me like it did for them

My family runs a newsagent in a small town with lots of old people. They literally just come in and buy a newspaper just so they have someone to talk to. It must be quite depressing desu.

bad education, far from good moral values

Because through their actions they put us in this SJW-migrant-fuckfest predicament.

Wow this is sad. All of my grandparents are dead. Good cake and doing pranks with grandpa will never come back.

why are so many russian parents and grandparents alcoholic? Why are hookers the #1 Russian export? Why are so many kids turning into krokodil? Why are gopnics so common?

Neglectful parents and children exist everywhere. It's a big percentage, but certainly not the majority and if anything I'd rather be seeing children neglecting their parents than children getting abused by them.

rip in shit old slavnigger

top kek

AMERICA!

Your pic related always makes me cry.

>and if anything I'd rather be seeing children neglecting their parents than children getting abused by them.
These are not opposites. You can have very good parents who are neglected by their children, and very abusive parents who have children who look after them anyway.

>why are so many russian parents and grandparents alcoholic?
>Why are gopnics so common?
Because of the collapse of the Soviet Union, everything went to hell.

>Why are hookers the #1 Russian export?
Prostitution is illegal so I presume they go abroad to do it.

>Why are so many kids turning into krokodil?
This is a meme drug.

sorry senpai, didnt mean it. just grumpy this morning

>You can have very good parents who are neglected by their children
how? if they're such good parents, why didn't they teach the children to have empathy? It's a bullshit argument. Maybe one in a million are brain damaged, but that's it.

They actually threw the guy a big party after this went viral. Tons of people showed up and the majority of them were perfect strangers.

I want to crush his face and then shit on his burgers

>how? if they're such good parents, why didn't they teach the children to have empathy?
Children are not a blank slate.

My mother moved from the US with my dad 30 years ago and never made friends. She doesn't get along with him now and goes to a local coffee shop just to socialise with the workers briefly. It is sad, but how the fuck do you help in a situation like that?

maybe your grandpa is just a dick

tell her to get a hobby like stitching or smth. My moms antisocial too, feels bad lad

empathy is not something you teach, maybe kindness. then again, being kind is also not about education. don't confuse being rude with being "not good" or bad

They do.

12 burgers is just what the average American eats per meal.

He pretended he thought others were coming so she didn't judge him.

...

>hurt fuck them muh immigrants muh SJWs
>also, I'm gonna kill myself before I have kids
There, just summed up the thoughts of the sub-human Northern Europeans ITT and why they treat each other like shit.

feels good man

Old people in the West (or at least the US) are fiercely independent. They don't want their grandkids around 24/7. Sure it's nice to visit, but to have to live with your children or your children's children is a sign that they can no longer take care of themselves and that they're a burden which they hate.

When my gran got too sick to take care of herself, we gave her the choice between an assisted living facility and coming home with us. She chose the former.

You have to go back we're FULL

looks like a christopher hitchens that survived cancer

Introduce her to /r9k/

English use to have "Thou" for non polite and "You" for polite but the only time people use Thou these days is when they're mimicking shakespeare

my friend's grandmother is 91 and has dementia and multiple psychosis. regularly shits the bed, forgets where she is, starts screaming and tries to exit the house via window.
friend's dad has hired five women so far to watch over her, and rented an apartment just for her. two of the women quit because it's a full time job watching the grandma and too stressful. the monthly expenses for the nurses and the apartment go up to 1k euros.
can you imagine doing this in a country where the median wage is 300 euros? luckily the guy's a surgeon and so is his wife so he barely feels it on his wallet, but how many old people can say the same for their children?
the alternative is a 200e/mo retirement home.

that's a good one. I chuckled

interesting, I didn't know that you ever had two forms as well.

people here just don't get it. They're are either wealthy middle class americans that will hire full-time nurses anyway when the time comes, or young adults who just cannot comprehend how difficult and miserable this is in real life.

We have too much of them, it's that simple.

>says the family unit is the backbone of society and culture
>hates his own parents

I'm pretty sure the family unit meme is just an excuse for you polacks to hate gays and minorities.

I work as a doorman in NYC. My building has a lot of elderly Americans. Mostly widows but some couples still alive. Their adult children visit maybe once or twice a year. It's mostly the building staff that look after them. Listen to their stories, help them out of bed run errands for them. One of my coworkers is actually in an old ladies will. I think she is leaving the apartment to him. I can imagine the legal headaches this will cause when she passes away and her son will find out.

My grandfather literally gifted more than a million euros to his kids besides my dad and one of his sisters. Then committed sudoku.
My dad wasn't even informed that he died or of his funeral.

That's a pretty asshole thing to do.

>tfw living with an old, demented, poop&pissbag grandpa
my grandparents brought me up and paid for my education and everything, yet every day i'm torn between my desire to commit murder and desire to kill myself.

I respected my grandparents, they died when I was young though.
But my parents were the worst, haven't spoken to them since moving 2 years ago

>my mom still went to funerals for people who abused her
>tfw she expected me to go too

>they cant stop telling how im 20 and how won a war at my age and how they had a house a wife and a kid with at that time they cant understand that its not so easy since this isnt the 50's anymore there's no fucking fascist party to babysit me like it did for them
how do they not fucking realize that Spain has 45% youth unemployment?
