It depends on what subject you are talking about. People 50+ might not have a clue in the computerworld, but talk to them about life's experiences and you'll get a different picture.

>Age descrimination, in either direction, is bad...

Who's talking discrimination? I simply said that people (myself included) don't get a clue until they reach 30. MOST people grow wiser through life's experiences, it isn't something they study. Think there might be a reason the constitution says a person must be 35 to run for the office of president? Well, gee isn't that discriminatory? Yes, it is, and it should be.

>>I think there are also regional differences that can account for different attitudes. Here in the South, we routinely open doors for ladies, teach our kids that you don't refer to adults by their first name, etc. etc. You yanks have total disregard for such notions - as a rule.*g*
