You retired too? .... Not me. I'm in my prime
THIS IS AN INTERNET FORUM.
It's NOT REAL LIFE.
I see it differently from you, even though this is an internet forum, there is a audience on the other side that is reading the same words that I type but cannot tell with which tone I state it. And they certainly are another person with feelings and a different train of thought.
I really don't think it is a age thing as much as a regional thing, meaning here in the Midwest we are still living in the thought of saying HI to your neighbor and being aware of the feelings of those around us. I have traveled many a place in these fine states, and can tell you that the general Midwest is a different breed of people from many other areas. One thing that we lack is the extreme art of sarcasm and how to distiguise it from a person being serious.
Now don't take that wrong in thinking I believe we are better or anything than other regions, just more old fashion when it comes to how we treat those around us. At least that is my opinion.
