Don't mistreat these old folks. They are the ones that built the house that has the basement you live in. These are the ones that worked and built the businesses that hire some of you and pay for the food stamps for the rest. Yes they worked and paid for the roads, schools, hospitals, etc. that you walk and run your mopeds on, babysit your illegitimate children and give you pain pills. They have had the guts to put their lives on the line so you can picnic on Memorial Day, buy the fireworks for your 4th of July celebrations and put money in the banks to finance your cars. Don't kick these guys around, some of them are Veterans, law enforcement and successful business men just trying to take a break before they leave you the greatest country on the face of the earth.

I think its really nones afair. I think they have lived long enough to sit there, talk about the great depression and sip on a cup of coffee. Anybody who gets angry over that just needs to go on with theirselves.....bestill I'm sure if you ask politely, they'll invite you and your puppy of your choice into the mix....you nasty creature

Stop eating old people high.

Next time I go to Walmart and those men are there I think I will go and get me a coffee and pull a chair up to their table and sit down with them. Then I'm going to ask then if they are checking out the chicks? I want to know what is so important that they need to sit there all day.
Of course I know at other places (Hardees, McDonalds)there are people that do the same thing.

I love the older geneneration......thats the meat of our Country...except bestill.

Many churches in this county have a plethora of youth programs with many activities lined up for kids. Churches may have problems, but social activities for the youth isn't one and neither for older folks, with many churches taking them on day trips, and again offering social activities. And, from what I have heard, we have a really cool Senior Citizens' Center.

Y'all know this.

Why?.....John Prine is a fine writer......from back in the late 60's-thru today.

that's really kinda sad.

I loveee John Prine......can't stand bestill though.

i will print this thread off and lay it at dd so they have something to read if that is ok with everyone

That’s just it, they don’t want to go sit at the library or churches they want to go to Walmart where they can see who walks in and out and who they can call and tell on who walked in and who walked by them and who they was with and what they know and what they was wearing and so on and so on.

It must have been a long time since some of you went to church. Goddess, are you really saying you think young people need to go to an organized religious activity, conducted by an organized church? hmmmm

Why didn't you go back to the nice old man and sit on the bench with him Do you have socialization issues?

Many do

There are just so many pagan elderly who won’t go

I'm wondering why one of the 1000s of churches in the Wilkesboro area wouldn't open their door to them and serve coffee and let them hangout and take up their space.

I’ve saw this topic for a while and been watching it. I usually don’t say anything but I wanted to see what all the fuss was about so I went up to the Walmart today, and I went prime time. I noticed as I walked in grocery entrance a old man sitting on the bench, very nice man as he waved his hand at me and then as I made it over to the DD to get me a coffee and a donut BINGO I saw them. I ordered my items and had to go back to my car to eat my donut and drink my coffee. NO seats was available and as I saw only maybe 2 people sitting had a tea or coffee to drink. So now I know myself because I saw it with my own eyes.

If they done that to me the cup of coffee I bought the manager would be wearing it and the donut they could use it for a necklace

so true
