You are attempting to find a correlation between age and your view of what civil behavior is/is not. Since your views are subjective, I am sure you will find a correlation. Nonehteless, it wont be statistically valid..

All of it... Snipping from other posts now... Talk about thread drift... Is this your intent?

It is all about age discrimination... You know, age bias... It goes to show that age bias/discrimination is not somthing that socially/statutorily acceptable.

Fine, next time you don't get a job because of your age, tell me then how you would like to seek relief.... Then the common body of knowledge will be of interest and it will become your friend...

Your illogcical reasoning....
