Yeah, everyone here respects you. :D

I look at it pretty much the same way I do people much younger than me. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and be polite, but I'll need to hear them talk a bit before I decide if they have a clue. Wisdom doesn't always come with age, and not every kid is clueless either.

People do ignore them and think they're stupid for the most part but actually they know a ton more than anyone else it's just not always obvious.

My elders are so old and out of date that nothing they have to say has any value in today's world.

I tend to give respect to everyone until I'm given a reason not to. I think that respect is something that is earned and not to be expected by someone just because they are older.It's the same in conversation, if their tone is friendly that is what I will give back. There are plenty of old people who don't deserve my respect as well as people of any age.

I respect people, despite their age, ONLY if they respect me. If they come up with the sh*t excuse of "I'm older than you therefore you must respect me because i have the powah!1!oneone" i'll tell them to GTFO. I can't tolerate people who think they have some sort of right just because they're older.

I believe you respect to some degree, but from my experience just because someone is older then you doesn't necessarily make them more competant or better. I've seen plenty of stupid old people.
