Martin Sheen has been in his share of bad movies; I think your comment bothered me not because of who it was directed at, but because of your use of the "washed up" phrase. It is easy for young people to dismiss the aging. They are unfamiliar with the person's contributions and are not interested in learning about them. Earlier in some thread you accused me of ageism. I could turn around and do the same to you here.
In general I think western civilization has lost respect for not only it elders, but for the civilization itself. The government, the media both are now against us if you believe the New American Order. It's easy to throw out the old, but what will you replace it with?

The phrase "washed up" was used in the description I read.
For all you know the description was written by a 50 year old.
So you're just thoughtlessly parroting words you heard/read elsewhere? Have you learned about critical thinking in school yet?
No, I was mentioning something someone else said which I found amusing. Which has absolutely nothing to do with critical thinking. Which you probably would have realized if you yourself had applied critical thinking to the matter.
Another thing I learned in school is what context means.
I'm much older than you, have more education and more life experience than you. You are being very rude and dismissive to me. You're not even an adult yet. You might want to rethink your attitude towards adults who have more education and life experience than yourself, and take into consideration how your own perspective might change and expand as you become an adult and further your education. If you were less dismissive, you might actually pick up some wisdom from others who have been where you've been and also been around for longer than you. There is no need to be rude.
You're getting as crotchety and old as me. I defend Ezra because I've seen him demonstrate the traits (less dismissive, etc.) you list here (perhaps not quite as noticeable in the first couple of years I've associated with him?
).Don't forget us older folk can be wrong AND exasperating from time-to-time also and cut the kid some slack?
Sorry for butting in Ezra but I see action displayed here I sometimes see in myself.

Would my being wrong about something excuse him being rude and dismissive to me unprompted? What exactly did I say that was rude that prompted such a response from him? Did I make some kind of faux-pas when I wandered into this discussion or is Ezra taking out on me some issues he has with other people? Other people have disagreed with him but he wasn't so rude to them, what did I say that prompted a different response than the responses that other people who disagreed with him got?
