Why do some older people on here feel the need to use age as an excuse to gain superiority over younger people?

I have no idea, age doesn't automatically make you wiser or better. You're way smarter/more mature than several adults I deal with on a daily basis.

@SW-User I agree. Just because you're older, that doesn't mean you're wiser

@SW-User power and dominance and to feel better about themselves that they think they're in control I guess.

@SW-User It sickens me

@SW-User well you're better than that so don't take that crap and let them try to oppress you by using that shitty excuse to put you down. If that's their entire argument, it's sad and doesn't win.
