Answer 1

most are canny

some are bitter and twisted

most smell

some dont

Answer 2

Older people have seen a lot more and are full of information, younger people don't have the knowledge to understand where they are coming from. To me the older the more interesting they are, they can really tell some great stories.  

Answer 3

Old folks are a good source of historical information. But, you have to have an interest in that sort of thing to see any benefit. Old folks know how to do things in a different way when most don't even know how to do some things at all. Some things they know have mostly been lost in time. There is info they have that is going to be valuable again soon. Listen and learn.  

Answer 4

I respect them. You'll learn a lot from them if you really try to talk to them :)

Answer 5

They're all different.

But all smell.

Answer 6

there are old people of different mindsets.

i do find quite a few to be founts of wisdom.

however some are 'know-it-alls' and seem to be nosy and

annoying.

learn from the wise ones and ignore and avoid the pushy ones.

Answer 7

they're all very different...

but i guess generally they are pensive and reflect on their youthful days

depending on how life has treated them in the past, i think some may be very miserable and think the world owes them something, while others may have had a good life and are just very loving towards everyone.

but there are loving ones who have actually had miserable pasts but overcame it. you'll never know just looking at an old stranger.

i think there's just many differnt kinds of old ppl, but i guess like me, a teen, there are quiet ones and active ones and many more wen generalizing, but we all encompass a degree of curiosity and excitement about the life in front of us that we're abotu ot live (well most days anyway, if we're not turbulent with emotions).

i guess with old ppl, they're pensive and reflective of the times that they have already lived through.  

Answer 8

If you have Grandparents (and a heart) then you will understand that no one wants to get old, slow and sick. It just happens. People can't help it.  

Answer 9

i think they smell funny

some of them are not wise

i hate it when they talk about war like they were actually there!!!

i also hate it when they say "You young people..."

they cant use technology so they give grief to people who can!

They think just because they are old they can say anything they want!!

i feel sorry for them because they are just waiting to die.

but they can be funny (like my gran) i love my gran :)
