Old people are better than young people. When I'm in an area with a lot of older people, I feel safe. Also, old people are generally more down-to-earth and more open minded than some young people, or at least the ones I've interacted with. Young people are more likely to be stupid, ignorant, and are more likely to cause violence.

Yeah I agree. Old people can be fun and interesting.

Young people are well... shitty sometimes.

Old people are open minded but a majority of old people are conservative...

If by old you mean 60+ I have to strongly disagree.
There's a massive retirement community right next to my neighborhood...

They drive slow as fuck
They give terrible tips
They're rude
They walk too slow
They crowd the isles at H.E.B.
They smell bad
They're conservative
They're racist

But to be fair, the old people I interact with were probably assholes when they were young too

Not all of them are racist. But, well, many are.

The majority of old people I know are all racist or homophobic because they're still stuck in the past where that was okay.

So from my experience, no, not really

You seriously want to be around a group of wrinkled-up old people who can't drive without accidentally crashing into something, hear well, and yell at kids on their lawn (not trying to be stereotypical)?

Well then, OP, I think a retirement home might just be your favorite place.

I dislike old people that think young people should look as classy and gay as possible. The ones that are against the unique/badass look.

I know what you mean.

They act like they own the place. They break the right of way at light, they break the flow of traffic on the highway and cause accidents, and they can be pretty dickish.

There are some cool old people, but I seem to only encounter the dicks.

I am also willing to bet all those old people did that and learned from their experiences. This is why they as OP said down to earth since they already did all their living when they were young.

Old Hippies are cool.
Old Black People are cool too, as long as they experienced some form of racism.
Old people from other countries are cool.
I know this guy named Bruno who is a good friend of mine. We only meet once a year at this party, and we talk politics. He was just young enough not to be in the Hitler youth and he survived the air raids on Hamburg.

I presume you've never heard any old folks talking about foreigners, gay people, "kids these days" and how things used to be?

Generally speaking, they're really no better than young people are in my experience. Those good and bad traits you mentioned are present in all layers of society.

Good. Tipping is an inherently flawed system

Everything else about them is fucking stupid as fuck. They're a drain on the economy and think they'e better because they were able to avoid dying for however many years.

Labels suck, but it's more or less true. Liberals and conservatives both suck, because it's either or. The vast space of middle ground has been pretty much corrupted by a two party/gang system, and yet the real unseen and unaccountable powers, are playing both sides against the middle. Divide and conquer, yo.
